JVM Version used:
Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.4.1
JVM arguments used:
-Xms1152m -Xmx1152m

The Linux max thread limit is 1024 by default. Rebuilt
libpthread.so after increasing the limit to 8192.
Changed max thread stack size to 256K from 2048K.

The following was done to increase the number of file descriptors
Parameter changes in /etc/security/limits.conf
soft nofile 8192
hard nofile 8192
Added in /etc/pam.d/login
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so

Network interfaces were bonded using HP tested and approved driver - bonding-1.0.2-6.src.rpm

Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  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 program work with or without an optimistic concurrency
  column, the database load program was changed to load specific columns.
  
  The modified source code is included in the FDA.
Reference Bean Modifications: 
  No modifications were made to the reference beans.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Persistence Mode Used: 
  All beans were deployed using CMP.

  Transaction consistency for those beans specifying field groups was proven by
  manual analysis of the source code.
Durability Requirement Info: 
  RAID1 disk mirroring was used to ensure durability
  for the database logs
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45 minute run at an injection rate of 615 required 551.68 MB of storage.
  This extrapolates to 5.881 GB of storage growth for an 8-hour run.
  The database system is configured with 360 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  BEA WebLogic 8.1 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.

Other Benchmark Information 
  This submission used the xerces.jar version 1.4.3 provided with the SPECjAppServer2002 kit.
  
  Round Robin DNS was used to balance the workload over multiple WebLogic instances.
  The DNS server was run on one of the application server nodes.

General Notes 
No errors were reported during the final or reproducibility run
