Benchmark Factory can collect and display database and host server information for a connection. The information is displayed in the Environment tab of the Connection dialog for an existing connection and also in the Database Under Test page of the New/Edit Job Wizard.
You can also create custom properties to add your own customized information to the connection.
To collect environment information
Click Detect Environment Information.
Note: To successfully view all environment information requested by Benchmark Factory, the login account used in the connection must have sufficient permissions. See Environment Information for more information.

Clustering is the process of using two or more computer systems that work together. Multiple servers are linked to handle variable workloads or to provide continued operation in the event one fails. Computers may be multiprocessor systems. A cluster of four computers with four CPUs each provides a total of sixteen CPUs processing at one time.
Use the Clustering tab in the Connection dialog of an Oracle connection to enable clustering. This allows you to perform Oracle Real Application (RAC) Testing.
