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.
  Table M_WORKORDER, O_ORDERLINE and O_CUSTINVENTORY were horizontally partitioned.
  Table M_BOM, M_INVENTORY and M_PARTS were hash clustered.
  System managed undo was used.
Load Program Modifications: 
  No modifications to the load programs were made.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info: 
  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting:
  eclipselink.query-results-cache.expiry=1200000
  in the ord-orm.xml deployment descriptor.
  
  The benchmark meets the isolation level requirements by
  version column checking on entities against the database.
Durability Requirement Info: 
  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 was used for the database files on the
  X4270 M2 Storage Servers and database redo logs on the Sun Storage 2540 M2 Arrays.
  
  The application server shared the Storage Servers for database files
  configured as RAID 1 luns for the jms and server logs.
Storage Requirement Info: 
  An 75 minute run at an injection rate of 17000 increased storage by 64.0 GB
  This extrapolates to 1.2 TB storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database was configured with over 7 TB of mirrored storage.

(* 20 = 0.5 * 40 and and 40 = 0.5 * 80) Explanation:  For the purposes of counting
the number of processors which require licensing, a multicore chip with 'n' cores
shall be determined by multiplying 'n' cores by a factor of 0.5.

Other Benchmark Information 
  DNS round robin load balancing was used with the DNS server running on the Database Server.
  
  All network connections were 10 Gbps.

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

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