Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications:
  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate.
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
Load Program Modifications:
  The load program was not modified

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info:
  The following beans: PartEnt, ComponentEnt, AssemblyEnt, BomEnt and
  LargeOrderEnt in the Manufacturing Domain, ItemEnt in the Orders Domain,
  and SupplierCompEnt and SupplierEnt in the Supplier Domain were
  accessed using READ_COMMITTED which is Cursor Stability (CS) for DB2.
  The remaining beans were accessed using REPEATABLE_READ which
  translates to DB2 isolation level of Read Stability (RS)
  
  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 15 minute intervals by setting
  concurrency-strategy to ReadOnly
  read-timeout-seconds to 900
  in bea-orders.xml deployment descriptor.
Durability Requirement Info:
  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks)
  was used for the database files and logs maintained
  on the two Sun StorEdge 3320 Arrays.
  
  The 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 80 minute run at an injection rate of 482 increased storage by 366 MB
  This extrapolates to 6.5 GB storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database is configured with 1752 GB of storage.
  Each Sun StorEdge 3320 SCSI Array was configured with a single RAID 1 logical drive.
Argument Passing Semantics:
  BEA WebLogic 9.2 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.

Other Benchmark Information
  This submission used the xerces implementation 2.6.2 provided with WebLogic 9.2.

General Notes
This result was measured on the Sun Fire T2000.
The Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise T2000 and Sun Fire T2000 are electronically equivalent.

The only errors in the driver log files were those that are normally
generated by this benchmark.
DB2 uses "Soft" checkpoint to ensure that no updates remain unflushed for
longer than the allowed time.

When DB2 UDB Server changes a database table with an update, insert, or delete
operation, the change is initially made in memory, not on disk. When there is
not enough space in the memory buffer to read in or write additional data pages,
DB2 UDB Server will make space by flushing some modified pages to disk.
Modified pages are also written to disk as part of the "Soft" checkpoint to
ensure that no updates remain unflushed for longer than the allowed time.
Before a change is made to the database, it is first recorded in the
transaction log. This ensures that the database can be recovered completely
in the event of a failure. Using the transaction log, transactions that
started but did not complete prior to a failure can be undone, and
transactions recorded as complete in the transaction log but not yet written
to disk can be redone.

DB2 UDB uses a write-ahead-logging protocol to guarantee recovery. This
protocol uses "Soft" checkpoint to write least-recently-used database
to disk independent of transaction commit. However, enough log information to
redo/undo the change to a database pages is committed to disk before the
database page itself is written. This protocol therefore renders checkpoint
unnecessary for DB2 UDB.
