Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  The log sizes were increased
  The M_Workorder table and its index were partitioned to 73 partitions by hash.
  The O_Orders and O_ordl_space tables were partitioned to 53 partitions by hash.
  The field width of pol_balance was changed from numeric(9,2) to (11,2).
  Manual rollback segments were used in place of auto undo.
  Some TABLESPACE sizes were increased to allow apropriate dataset sizes
  for the injection rate.
  Table parameters 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.
  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)
  
  An oc_version column and trigger was added to tables which had an isolation level of
  optimistic concurrency.
  
  The scripts used to create database are enclosed in the FDA.
Load Program Modifications: 
  To make the load program work with or without an optimistic concurrency
  column, the database load programs were 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

  Transaction consistency for those beans specifying
  field groups was proven by manual analysis of the source code.
Durability Requirement Info: 
  Six battery backed up disk arrays were used to store this data.
  5 x VA7410 with 15 x 36GB disk drives and 1 x VA7410 with 15 x 73GB disk drives were used
  RAID1 was used to back all the database data and log files.
  
  Detailed description in the FDA/schema/database-logical_volumes file
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45-minute run made the database size increase by 98.6GB.
  By extrapolation, for an 8-hour run, the database size should increase by 1056GB.
  The total amount of protected disk storage is 1690GB which meets the database
  growth requirements.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  WebLogic 8.1 uses pass-by-value as required by the
  EJB specifications.

Other Benchmark Information 
  This submission used the xerces.jar version 1.4.3 provided within the SPECjAPPServer2002 kit
  
  Round Robin DNS was used to balance workload over multiple WebLogic instances.
  The DNS server was run on one of the application server nodes.
