Notes / Tuning Information 

JVM Version used:
Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.4.1_05
JVM arguments used:
-server -Xmx512m -Xms512m

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: 
  The battery backed RAID controller used mirroring to ensure durability
  for the database logs.
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45 minute run at an injection rate of 752 required 5.747 GB of storage.
  This extrapolates to 61.3 GB of storage growth for an 8-hour run.
  The database system is configured with 252 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.
