Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate. Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
Load Program Modifications: The load program was not modified.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info: The following beans: PartEnt, ComponentEnt, AssemblyEnt, BomEnt and LargeOrderEnt in the Manufacturing Domain, ItemEnt in the Orders Domain, and SupplierCompEnt and SupplierEnt in the Supplier Domain were accessed using READ_COMMITTED which is Cursor Stability (CS) for DB2. The remaining beans were accessed using translates to DB2 isolation level of Read Stability (RS) The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting concurrency-strategy to ReadOnly and read-timeout-seconds to 1200 in bea-orders.xml deployment descriptor.
Durability Requirement Info: To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks) in the Inspur CX300 disk array was used for the database logs, another RAID 1 (mirror disks) in the Inspur AS1000 disk array was used for the database data files. Application server has RAID 1 (4 disks using PCI-X RAID controller) 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 920 increased storage by 791 MB This extrapolates to 16 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 2000 GB of storage. One of the Inspur CX300 disk arrarys was configured as a single RAID 1 logical drive for database log files (including 10 hard drives). One of the Inspur AS1000 disk arrarys was configured as a single RAID 1 logical drive for database data files (including 14 hard drives).
Argument Passing Semantics: BEA WebLogic 10.0 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.

Other Benchmark Information

  The submission used round-robin DNS for load-balance of
  all network requests. The DNS server was hosted
  on the database server.
  
  This submission used the xerces implementation 2.8.1 provided
  with WebLogic 10.0

General Notes

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

DB2 uses "Soft" checkpoint to ensure that no updates remain unflushed for
longer than the allowed time.

When DB2 UDB Server changes a database table with an update, insert, or delete
operation, the change is initially made in memory, not on disk. When there is
not enough space in the memory buffer to read in or write additional data
pages, DB2 UDB Server will make space by flushing some modified pages to disk.
Modified pages are also written to disk as part of the "Soft" checkpoint to
ensure that no updates remain unflushed for longer than the allowed time.
Before a change is made to the database, it is first recorded in the
transaction log. This ensures that the database can be recovered completely
in the event of a failure. Using the transaction log, transactions that
started but did not complete prior to a failure can be undone, and
transactions recorded as complete in the transaction log but not yet written
to disk can be redone.

DB2 UDB uses a write-ahead-logging protocol to guarantee recovery. This
protocol uses "Soft" checkpoint to write least-recently-used database
to disk independent of transaction commit. However, enough log information to
redo/undo the change to a database pages is committed to disk before the
database page itself is written. This protocol therefore renders checkpoint
unnecessary for DB2 UDB.
