Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  Added Index on table S_PURCH_ORDER (see S_PURCH_ORDER.gdbtable in FDA/Deploy/DDIC.sda of the FDA)
  using the following columns - sorted ascending - in the given order:
     PO_SITE_ID, PO_START_DATE, PO_SUPP_ID
Load Program Modifications: 
  no modifications

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info: 
  The isolation level of the database connections is READ_COMMITTED -
  see data source descriptors data-sources.xml of FDA (FDA/Deploy/Descriptors/data-sources.xml).
  
  The SAPJPA implementation always performs JPA version checks against the database.
  This guarantees an isolation level of REAPEATABLE_READ where needed in the
  SPECjEnterprise benchmark application.
  
  The isolation level Strict REPEATABLE_READ and Strict READ_COMMITTED is achieved by
  disallowing Phantom Deletes on the database
  (database parameter UseMultiVersionReadSupport=yes).
  
  The database objects of the benchmark application are generated in the system database
  of the SAP Netweaver CE application server containing the tables for storing persistent
  JMS messages. The JMS provider uses the database connections of the application to store
  persistent JMS messages (see descriptor jms-resources.xml of FDA
  (FDA/Deploy/Descriptors/jms-resources.xml)) to meet the requirements of the Run Rules,
  chapter '2.10.2.1 JMS'.
  
  Please have a look at the FDA for the following configuration files which are bundled and
  deployed with the benchmark application archive specj.ear:
     data source configuration (FDA/Deploy/Descriptors/data-sources.xml)
     JPA descriptors (FDA/Deploy/Descriptors/persistence.xml, orm.xml)
     JMS configuration (FDA/Deploy/Descriptors/jms-resources.xml)
  E.g. the cache evict timeout of cached Item entities is 20 min by using the following
  configuration in the peristence.xml descriptor:
     com.sap.jpa.cache.query-result-cache.time-to-live=1200
Durability Requirement Info: 
  To ensure database durability, RAID10 was used for the database logs maintained on the external storage.
  Two RAID10 disk arrays with each a total of 4x 73.4GB disks were used for the logs.
  Its cache has a battery backup capable of meeting the 24 hour run requirement.
Storage Requirement Info: 
  After loading the database size was 16.2GB.
  The >60 minute run for this submission resulted in a DB size of 17.4GB, i.e. database size increased by max. 1.2GB per 1 hour.
  This extrapolates to less than 16.2GB + 1.2GB*24h = 45GB for a 24 hour period.
  Two RAID10 disk arrays with each a total of 8x 73.4GB disks were used to create the filesystem space for the database
   containing 28 data files with each a size 2200MB resulting in a database size of >60GB.

** multiplier for quadcore sockets is 2.5, i.e. 2.5 * 2 sockets = 5 CPUs

Other Benchmark Information 
  DNS round robin load balancing was used and hosted on the database machine.
  All network connections were 1Gbps.

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

The data sources use 'SAP Open SQL for Java'. It guarantees
that all statements generated by the SAPJPA implementation
can be executed by all databases which are supported by SAP
and have the same semantical meaning.

According to the default value of 600 for the parameter
MaxSavepointTimeInterval the MaxDB database executes a
savepoint at least every 10 minutes. Hence at least two
database savepoints took place during the Measurement
Interval.
