Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA
  Two indexes were created in the M_largeorder table:
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX M_lo_idx ON M_largeorder (lo_id)
  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX M_OL_O_idx ON M_largeorder (lo_o_id, lo_ol_id)
  Table and index parameters initrans were modified.
Load Program Modifications: 
  The load program was not modified
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 READ_COMMITTED requirement
  were deployed using locking-mode="optimistic" in their deployment descriptors
  All other beans were deployed using locking-mode="pessimistic
Durability Requirement Info: 
  Disk mirroring was used to ensure durability for DB logs
Storage Requirement Info: 
  A 45 minute run at an injection rate of 680 increased storage by 16.5GB.
  Extrapolating for an 8 Hr run would require 176GB.
  The system is configured with 288GB which is sufficient for 8Hr run.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  Oracle Application Server 10g uses pass-by-value
  as required by the EJB specification

Other Benchmark Information 
  This submission used the xerces.jar from the SPECjAppServer2002 Kit.
  No hardware or software was used to alter basic network routing.
  Requests were sent to different appservers utilizing DNS round-robin
  with one of the mid-tier nodes acting as the DNS server
  The driver used the following jndi.properties
  java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
  java.naming.provider.url=ormi://main.spec.bogus:23777/SPECjAppServer
  java.naming.security.principal=admin
  java.naming.security.credentials=welcome
  dedicated.rmicontext=true

General Notes 
No errors were reported during the final or reproducability run
