Swingbench SwingBench can now be started to simulate an order-entry system and test the replication.
1. Start a new ssh session to the source server (dbv01) and logon as oracle. To connect to the first VM from the host machine (laptop), use the following command:
| No Format |
|---|
ssh -p10022 oracle@192.168.1.197 |
| Note |
|---|
This uses port forwarding which was setup when Virtual Box was configured (02 - Rep Attack 11g XE Virtual Machines). 192.168.1.197 is the IP address of the host machine (laptop). Use ifconfig or ipconfig to identify what the local IP address is of the host machine. |
2. Start charbench 2. On the source server, as oracle, in the $HOME/replicate directory, execute the run_swingbench.bash script to start the charbench utility which is the character based version of swingbenchSwingBench.
| No Format |
|---|
/u01/oracle/swingbench/bin/charbench -cs //source-int/pdb1 -u oe -p oe -uc 10 -min 10 -max 200 -rt 0:10 -a -v[oracle@source replicate]$ ./run_swingbench.bash |
The output will be similar to the following and will run for 10 minutes. A total number of 10 users will be simulated.

| Note |

It is easy to change the parameters of swingbench to change the load and the time that it runs. The parameters are:
All command line options are listed here |
| Tip |
|---|
Put the above command line to run swingbench in a script and call it run_swinbench.sh so that you do not have to remember the full command. |
3. Optional. Swingbench is highly configurable. The load on the system can be easily increased. In this example, the number of users is set to 40 and the min and max delay is shortened. As a result the TPS peaks at over 400 transactions per second.
| Note |
|---|
Your laptop has to be powerful enough to handle this load and a large number of archived redo logs will be generated that may fill up the disk space. |
