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: 
  RAID 0+1 was used to ensure durability for DB logs
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45 minute run at an injection rate of 580 required 513.63 MB of storage.
  This extrapolates to 5.35 GB of storage growth for an 8-hour run.
  The database system is configured with 108 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  BEA WebLogic 8.1 SP4 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.

Other Benchmark Information 
  This submission used the xerces.jar from 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
