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.
  The C_CUSTOMERINVENTORY, M_WORKORDER, O_ORDERLINE tables were horizontally partitioned.
  C_CUSTOMER, M_PARTS, M_BOM and M_INVENTORY were hash clustered.
  Automatic segment space management was used for all tablespaces.
  System managed undo was used.
  Table locks were disabled during the run using disable_lock.sql

Load Program Modifications:

  The load program was not modified.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info: The following Beans were deployed in READ_COMMITTED mode as per the benchmark requirement: Mfg - AssemblyEnt, BomEnt, ComponentEnt, LargeOrderEnt, PartEnt Orders - ItemEnt Supplier - SupplierCompEnt, SupplierEnt All other beans were deployed using pessimistic locking mode such that all selects including finders are issued with a FOR UPDATE clause in select statement: Corp - CustomerEnt, CustomerInventoryEnt Mfg - InventoryEnt, WorkOrderEnt Orders - OrderEnt, OrderLineEnt Supplier - POEnt, POLineEnt, SComponentEnt Util - SequenceEnt The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting the following in bea-orders.xml deployment descriptor: concurrency-strategy to ReadOnly read-timeout-seconds to 1200
Durability Requirement Info: To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirroring) was used for the database Redo logs and datafiles. The application server was using mirrored disks to provide durability for server logs and JMS persistence filestore. The RAID controller on the database and application server machines were configured with Write-Back cache policy supported with battery backed up unit on the controller.
Storage Requirement Info: A 75 minute run at an injection rate of 5700 increased storage by 17 GB This extrapolates to 326 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 2.5TB of durable storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB specification.
