Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications:
  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate.
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
  Table and index initrans were modified
  Automatic segment space management was used for all tablespaces.
  System managed undo was used.
Load Program Modifications:
  The load program was not modified.

  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting
          concurrency-strategy to ReadOnly
          read-timeout-seconds to 1200
  in bea-orders.xml deployment descriptor.
Durability Requirement Info:
  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirroring)
  was used for the database logs and data on the
  MSA storage arrays.
  
  The application server is using a pair of mirrored disks
  to provide durability for all the
  server logs and filestore for JMS persistence.
Storage Requirement Info:
  An 75 minute run at an injection rate of 763 increased storage by 1741 MB
  This extrapolates to 33.4 GB of storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database is configured with 2016 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics:
  BEA WebLogic 9.1 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.

Other Benchmark Information
  This submission used the xerces implementation 2.6.2 provided
  with WebLogic 9.1.

General Notes
The only errors in the driver log files were those that are normally
generated by this benchmark.

Database checkpoints during the Measurement Interval were done by
using the Oracle SQLPlus command: alter system checkpoint
