Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  The log sizes were increased
  The M_Workorder table and its index were partitioned to 35 partitions by hash
  Some TABLESPACE sizes were increased to allow apropriate dataset sizes for injection rate
  initrans, pctfree and pctused were increased to support extra concurrency
  System managed tablespaces was used with local extent management
  Dictionary Managed Storage was changed to System Managed Storage for all tables
  Storage specifications were removed from table definitions since SMS is now being used
  
  The scripts used to create database are enclosed in the FDA
Load Program Modifications: 
  No modifications were made to the load programs
Reference Bean Modifications: 
  No modifications were made to the reference beans

Benchmark Configuration Information
Persistence Mode Used: 
  All beans used were CMP
Isolation Requirement Info: 
  
  All beans with a READ_COMMITTED requirement were deployed with an isolation level of TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED.
  Transaction consistency for those beans specifying field groups was proven by manual analysis of the source code.
  
  CORP: RuleEnt, DiscountEnt, CustomerEnt
  MFG: AssemblyEnt, BomEnt, ComponentEnt, PartEnt, LargeOrderEnt
  ORDERS: OrderCustomerEnt, ItemEnt
  SUPPLIER: SupplierEnt, SupplierCompEnt
  
  All beans with a REPEATABLE_READ requirement were deployed with an isolation level of
  TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED with the use-select-for-update flag set to true.
  The use-select-for-update flag enforces pessimistic concurrency on a per-bean basis.
  Specifying "true" for this flag causes SELECT ... FOR UPDATE to be used whenever the bean is loaded from the database.
  
  MFG: WorkOrderEnt, InventoryEnt
  ORDERS: OrderLineEnt, OrderEnt
  SUPPLIER: SComponentEnt, POEnt, POLineEnt
Durability Requirement Info: 
  RAID1 was used to back all the database data and log files
  A battery backed up disk array was used to store this data
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45-minute run made the database size increase by 208MB.
  By extrapolation, for an 8-hour run, the database size should increase by 2.3GB.
  The total amount of protected disk storage was 126GB which meets the database growth requirements.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  WebLogic 7.0 uses pass-by-value as required by the
  EJB specifications

Other Benchmark Information 
  This submission used the xerces.jar provided within WebLogic, which is version 1.4.4
  
  No hardware or software was used to influence network routing or load balancing
