                            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.
  The C_CUSTOMER, C_CUSTOMERINVENTORY, M_INVENTORY, M_WORKORDER, O_ORDERLINE,
  O_ORDERS, S_COMPONENT, S_PURCHASEORDER and S_PURCHASEORDERLINE tables were
  horizontally partitioned. M_PARTS and M_BOM were hash clustered.
  Automatic segment space management was used for all tablespaces.
  System managed undo was used.
  Table locks were disabled during the run using disable_lock.sql
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Load Program Modifications:
  The load program was not modified.

                      BENCHMARK CONFIGURATION INFORMATION                       
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isolation Requirement Info:
  The following Beans were deployed in READ_COMMITTED mode as per the
  benchmark requirement:
  Mfg      - AssemblyEnt, BomEnt, ComponentEnt, LargeOrderEnt, PartEnt
  Orders   - ItemEnt
  Supplier - SupplierCompEnt, SupplierEnt
  
  All other beans were deployed using pessimistic locking mode such that all
  selects including finders are issued with a FOR UPDATE clause in select
  statement:
  Corp     - CustomerEnt, CustomerInventoryEnt
  Mfg      - InventoryEnt, WorkOrderEnt
  Orders   - OrderEnt, OrderLineEnt
  Supplier - POEnt, POLineEnt, SComponentEnt
  Util     - SequenceEnt
  
  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting:
  read-only to true, and
  time-to-live to 1200000 (ms)
  in orders-toplink-ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Durability Requirement Info:
  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirroring) was used for the
  database Redo logs and datafiles.
  
  The application server was using mirrored disks to
  provide durability for server logs and JMS persistence filestore.
  
  The RAID controller on the database and application server machines were
  configured with Write-Back cache policy supported with battery backed up unit
  on the controller.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Storage Requirement Info:
  An 80 minute run at an injection rate of 10,300 increased storage by 32.0 GB
  This extrapolates to 504GB of storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database is configured with 16TB of durable storage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Argument Passing Semantics:
  Oracle Application Server 10g uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB
  specification.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The xerces implementation version 2.6.2 from xml.apache.org was used as it
  comes packaged with Oracle Application Server 10g.
  
  Requests were sent to different Appservers using DNS round robin,
  with DNS servers running on the DNS load balancer hardware.
  
  The driver used the following jndi.properties:
  java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
  java.naming.provider.url=ormi://main.specj.com:23791/SPECjAppServer

                                 General Notes                                  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The only errors in the driver error logs are the application errors
 generated by this benchmark and those caused by network contention during
 the benchmark's initial ramp up period.
 
 On the database, incremental checkpointing ensured that no buffer will remain
 dirty (in the cache) for more than the allowed time.
 
 Oracle Application Server 10g Release 10.1.3.3.2 implements Recoverable Last
 Resource Commit optimization where one and only one SinglePhaseResource
 participates in a global transaction with one or more XAResources. This is
 accomplished by emulating an XAResource to represent the 1PC resource. The
 transaction manager takes the following steps when it receives a request to commit
 a global transaction that includes one emulated XAResource:
 1. It invokes a prepare call on each of the 2PC resources.
 2. If all of the 2PC resources are successfully prepared, then commit (one-phase)
 is called and the commit record is written to the commit-log, on the emulated XA
 resource (database) as part of the local transaction.
 3. If the 1PC on the emulated XA resource completes successfully, then the
 transaction manager calls commit on each of the 2PC resources.
 or:
 If the 1PC on the emulated XA resource fails, then the transaction manager queries
 the commit-log for transaction outcome. If the record exists, 2PC resources are
 committed, otherwise 2PC Resources are aborted.
 Transaction outcome after a single point of failure is guaranteed by the presence of
 the commit-record in the commit log, indicating a successful transaction completion;
 while a missing commit-record signifies abort. The commit record is deleted lazily
 after the global transaction has committed.
