SwingBench can now be started to produce a transaction load and simulate an order-entry system to test the replication. 

Note

Start a new terminal session on the source server, as oracle.

  1. In the $HOME/replicate directory, execute the run_swingbench.bash script to start the charbench utility which is the character based version of SwingBench.
No Format
[oracle@source ~]$ cd $HOME/replicate
[oracle@source replicate]$ ./run_swingbench.bash

The command that will be executed by the script is a very simple one... you can do this on the command line instead of running the script. 

#/bin/bash

# -cs <connect_string>
# -u <schema_user>
# -p <schema_user_password>
# -uc <simulated_user_count>
# -min <min_transaction_think_time_in_milliseconds>
# -max <max_transaction_think_time_in_milliseconds>
# -rt <runtime_hh:mi>
# -a run automatically
# -v display run statistics

/u01/app/oracle/swingbench/bin/charbench -cs //source/XE -u repoe -p repoe -uc 10 -min 5 -max 200 -rt 0:10 -a -v

The output will be similar to the following and will run for 10 minutes. A total number of 10 users will be simulated.

Tip

If you want to stop SwingBench before the 10 minutes is up, just hit Ctrl C in the terminal window where it's running to interrupt it.

While the SwingBench is running - keep an eye on your dbvisit console (The dbvisit console should still be running. if not restart the dbvisit console on the source server - cd $HOME/dbvrep_XE  and ./start-console.sh )

Note

It is easy to change the parameters of swingbench to change the load and the time that it runs.

The parameters are:

  • uc. How many users to simulate
  • rt. Run time. How long to run the simulation for
  • min. Transaction think time minimum
  • max. Transaction think time maximum

All command line options are listed here

 

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.

Right, that should have given the replication something to do. Lets return to the Replication Console and see what's happening.In order to simulate conflict in replication, we have to create at least one row, that is precise clone of another row. This cannot be created on table, that has primary key defined. In RepAttack prepared testing environment, there are just two tables, that do not have primare keys defined:

REPOE.LOGON and REPOE.ORDERENTRY_METADATA. We will use the REPOE.LOGON table for duplicate creation. Run following insert on source database to create duplicity:

 

Code Block
languagesql
titleInsert duplicate row
REPOE@TTORCL_SRC> insert into repoe.logon select * from repoe.logon where logon_id=1000000;
1 row created.
REPOE@TTORCL_SRC> commit;
Commit complete.

Wait until the row gets replicated and confirm it also with dbvrep console.

Check, that the duplicated row also exists in the target database.

Code Block
languagesql
titleCheck if duplicate row was created
REPOE@TTORCL_trg> select * from repoe.logon where logon_id =1000000 order by customer_id;
  LOGON_ID CUSTOMER_ID LOGON_DATE
---------- ----------- ------------------
   1000000      496840 31-MAR-06
   1000000      496840 31-MAR-06

 

Create conflict

Using the duplicate row we prepared in previous chapter, we can now simulate conflict in replication. 

On source run following update

Code Block
languagesql
titleUpdate causing conflicts
REPOE@TTORCL_SRC> update repoe.logon set logon_id=logon_id*100 where logon_id =1000000;
2 rows updated.
REPOE@TTORCL_SRC> commit;
Commit complete.

 

Check in the console, that we have really created the conflict
