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. Table M_WORKORDER, O_CUSTINVENTORY, O_CUSTOMER, O_ORDERLINE and O_ORDERS were horizontally partitioned. Table M_BOM, M_INVENTORY and M_PARTS were hash clustered. System managed undo was used.
Load Program Modifications: The Load program was modified to be able to run on JDK 8. Entry 1.8 was added in faban/harness/faban/master/bin/startup.sh, as an appropriate JAVA_VERSION. Modified source file is included in the FDA - FDA/Deploy/faban_fix

Benchmark Configuration Information

Isolation Requirement Info:

  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting:
  eclipselink.query-results-cache.expiry=1200000
  in the ord-orm.xml deployment descriptor.
  
  The benchmark meets the isolation level requirements by
  version column checking on entities against
  the database.

Durability Requirement Info:

  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 was used for the
  database files and database redo logs maintained
  on the six Flash Storage devices.
  
  The application server was configured with 2 SSD drives
  configured with RAID 1 for jms and server logs.

Storage Requirement Info:

  An 75 minute run at an injection rate of 20600 increased storage by 41 GB
  This extrapolates to 787 GB storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database was configured with 19.2 TB of mirrored storage.

Other Benchmark Information
DNS round robin load balancing was used. DNS server ran on DB node. All network connections were 10 Gbps.

General Notes

The only errors in the driver log files were those that are
normally generated by this benchmark.

On the database, incremental checkpointing ensured that no buffer will
remain dirty (in the cache) for more than the allowed time.
