Purpose Of Document The purpose of this document is to detail the functionality and operation of the swingbench test harness. Introduction The UK based Oracle9i Database Solutions group have developed “swingbench”, a Java based test harness, to demonstrate the stress testing of Oracle Databases (and Web Servers, build 2.2). Swingbench enables developers to define their own classes by implementing a simple interface. These classes are then loaded and run by swingbench according to the parameters defined by the user. This tool is not intended in anyway as a replacement for commercial load generators, it should be viewed as a free alternative to demo certain features of the Oracle database. The code is continually under development and certain features described in this document are likely to change.

Installation To run swingbench a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) must be installed on the client platform. The current recommendation is to use Sun's or IBM's 1.4 JVMs although their 1.3 versions may work (not tested). Swingbench is supplied in a single zip file. To uncompress this file issue the command (Unix/Linux)

[oracle@dgiles-uk swingbench]$ unzip swingbench

On Windows use a tool such as WinZip to perform this operation. The default installation of swingbench is performed by modifying the values in the $SWINGHOME/swingbench.env file under Linux/Unix and in $SWINGHOME/swingbenchenv.bat file under Windows. The contents of an example swingbench.env are shown below.
