Oracle Applications Standard Benchmark

[ahmadbilal]

Workload Description
The Oracle Applications Standard Benchmark is focused on ERP applications and represents a mixed workload intended to model the most common transactions operating on the most widely used enterprise application modules. Definitions of transactions that compose the benchmark load were obtained through collaboration with functional consultants and are representative of typical customer workloads, with batch transactions representing 25% of the total workload.

To ensure that the benchmarks workload characteristics remain constant across a variety of user counts the concept of atomic user group has been defined. The atomic user group is the smallest number of users that can be added at any given time while still ensuring that the workload remains unchanged, specifically in terms of the percentages of each type of user in the mix. The atomic user group consists of the sum of all the base user counts specified in the table. To run more users you simply add an integer number of atomic groups, and thereby the characteristics of the workload remain constant.
