Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  An oc_version column and trigger was added
  to tables which had an isolation level of
  optimistic concurrency.
  
  Table sizes were increased to support larger
  injection rates.
  Some storage clauses were modified to improve performance
  Two indexes were created in the M_largeorder table:
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX M_lo_idx ON M_largeorder (lo_id)
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX M_OL_O_idx ON M_largeorder (lo_o_id , lo_ol_id )
Load Program Modifications: 
  To make the load programs work with or
  without an optimistic concurrency column,
  The database load programs were changed
  to load specific columns.  the modified
  load programs and the modified source code
  are included in the FDA.
Reference Bean Modifications: 
  No modifications were made to the reference beans.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Persistence Mode Used: 
  CMP mode was used for all beans.

  Transaction consistency for those beans specifying field groups was proven by manual analysis of the source code.
Durability Requirement Info: 
  The Redo log disks are mirrored (RAID 0+1).
  The database commits all changes to the redo log when each transaction is completed.
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45 minute run at an injection rate of 1034 required 27.98 GB of storage.
  This extrapolates to 295.55 GB of storage for an 8-hour run.
  The database system is configured with 648 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  BEA WebLogic 8.1 uses pass-by-value

Other Benchmark Information 
  The xerces.jar package in the jars sub-directory of the
  SPECjAppServer2002 V1.14 kit was used for the submission.
  No hardware or software was used to alter basic network routing.
  Requests were sent to the different instances of the application server by
  utilizing DNS round robin with one middle tier node acting
  as the DNS server
