Each machine has the default Oracle XE database installed it as it's default configuration. The default database installed with Oracle XE always has the ORACLE_SID of XE but to make it less confusing between the source and target databases, two TNS alias have been set up in the tnsnames.ora files of both the source and target machines.

SwingBench is a free load generator and benchmark utility designed by Dominic Giles to stress test an Oracle database (10g,11g,12c). SwingBench version 2.5.0.932 has been installed on the Rep Attack RepAttack source machine in /u01/app/oracle/swingbench. Rep Attack RepAttack uses SwingBench to generate test data and provide a transaction load for the Dbvisit Replicate.

In the $HOME/replicate directory of the oracle user on the source machine is a script called run_swingbench.bash. This script is used on the source machine to generate DML transactions against the REPOE schema so Dbvisit Replicate has something to do.
