Benchmark Modifications




Schema Modifications:

  Rather than creating unique indexes on schema tables,
  we created primary keys that are equivalent (created on same columns)
  to improve performance.
  We created a primary key on M_largeorder.LO_ID.






Load Program Modifications:

  none






Reference Bean Modifications:

  No changes were made to the reference beans.














Benchmark Configuration Information




Persistence Mode Used:

  CMP mode was used for all beans






Isolation Requirement Info:

  Beans with a REPEATABLE_READ requirement were deployed using
  isolationlevel=TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE in the deployment plan.
  Pessimistic locking using SELECT FOR UPDATE type semantics are used to
  implement TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE.
  Beans with a READ_COMMITTED requirement were deployed using
  isolationlevel=TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED.






Durability Requirement Info:

  RAID1 disk was used to ensure durability for the database logs.
  72 hour battery backed disk write cache was used for RAID1 disk.
  RAID1 disk was created from two 18 GB disks.






Storage Requirement Info:

  After running for 45 minutes at txRate=37, 545 MB of disk
  space was used. Extrapolating to an 8 hour run would
  require 5.677 GB, which is easily handled by the 17 GB
  log file RAID 1 volume and 62 GB data file RAID 0 volume used.






Argument Passing Semantics:

  Novell exteNd Application Server uses pass by value semantics.














Other Benchmark Information





  xerces.jar from the jAppServer2001 kit was deployed with the application.














General Notes





The AUDIT BMP beans were modified to use 'select count(*)' style instead of
'select count (*)' queries (white space is removed after count) so that they
would work with MySQL, see AuditSourceCodeChange.jar
