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: 
  The load program was not modified.
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 990 required 24.9 GB of storage.
  This extrapolates to 265.6 GB of storage growth for an 8-hour run.
  The database system is configured with 506 GB of RAID 0/1 storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  BEA WebLogic 8.1 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.
