Benchmark Modifications

Schema Modifications:

  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate. Table and index
  initrans were modified. The C_CUSTOMERINVENTORY, M_WORKORDER and O_ORDERLINE tables were
  horizontally partitioned. C_CUSTOMER, M_PARTS, M_BOM and M_INVENTORY were hash clustered.
  Table locks were disabled during the run for all the tables using ALTER TABLE DISABLE TABLE LOCK.
  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 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 10 was used for the data files and redo logs. The application server used RAID 1 to provide durability for server logs and JMS persistence filestores. The RAID controller on the database and the application server machines were configured with Write-Back cache policy supported with battery backup unit on the controller.
Storage Requirement Info: A 80 min run at Injection Rate of 6630 increased storage by 12.1 GB. Extrapolating for 24 hrs we need 218 GB. The system is configured with over 5TB of durable storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB specification.

(* 16 = 0.50 * 32)  Explanation:  For the purposes of counting
the number of processors which require licensing, an Intel multicore chip with "n"
cores shall be determined by multiplying "n" cores by a factor of 0.50).

Other Benchmark Information

  The xerces implementation version 2.8.1 from xml.apache.org was used as it comes
  packaged with Oracle Weblogic Server Standard Edition.
  
  Requests were directed to the Appserver instances using DNS round robin, with
  the database node acting as the DNS server.

General Notes

On the database, incremental checkpointing ensured that no buffer will remain
dirty (in the cache) for more than the allowed time.

The only errors in the driver error logs are the application errors generated by
this benchmark.
