Benchmark Modifications

Schema Modifications:

  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate.
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
  Table and index initrans were modified
  Automatic segment space management was used for all tablespaces.
  System managed undo was used.

Load Program Modifications:

  The load program was not modified

Durability Requirement Info: To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks) was used for the database files and logs maintained on the Sun StorEdge 3310 Array. Each application server has a pair of mirrored disks (using the Solaris Volume Manager) to provide durability for all the server logs and filestore for JMS persistence.
Storage Requirement Info: An 85 minute run at an injection rate of 370 increased storage by 840 MB This extrapolates to 13.9 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 876 GB of storage. The Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Array was configured with a single RAID 1 logical drive.
Argument Passing Semantics: BEA WebLogic 9.0 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.
