Notes / Tuning Information 
The load driver utilized the IBM JDK included with WebSphere 5.0.1
Application Server (J2RE 1.3.1 IBM Windows 32 build cn131-20030329).

Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications: 
  The scripts used to create the database are located within the FDA. Two additional
  indicies were added for the M_LargeOrder table in the manufacturing domain.
  The DDL to create these indicies are included in the FDA /schema/sql directory.
Load Program Modifications: 
  No changes were made to the load program.
Reference Bean Modifications: 
  No modifications were made to the reference beans.

Benchmark Configuration Information
Persistence Mode Used: 
  All beans were deployed using Container Managed Persistence (CMP).
Isolation Requirement Info: 
  All beans were deployed with the isolation level set to REPEATABLE_READ. DB2
  translates this isolation level to Read Stability.  Read Stability ensures
  that all rows referenced in a transaction have a read-lock associated with
  them to ensure that other transactions cannot change the rows until the first
  referencing transaction completes.
Durability Requirement Info: 
  To ensure database durability, RAID-1E enhanced disk mirroring was used for
  the database log files.
Storage Requirement Info: 
  Over the course of a 45 minute run at an injection rate of 260, database storage
  increased  150.5 MB. Given a linear scale, an eight hour run at the same injection
  rate would increase storage 1606 MB. The disk array enclosure was configured
  with 118 GB of disk storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: 
  WebSphere 5.0.1 Application Server uses pass-by-value semantics by default.

Other Benchmark Information 
  This submission used the xerces.jar (version - XML4J 4.0.10) provided with WebSphere Application Server 5.0.1.

General Notes 
No errors were encoutered in the driver error logs.
