Title
Can we run a TPC-C BMF workload against our existing TPC-C database -
Description
We currently have an Oracle database that has a TPC-C schema that already exists and conforms to the TPC-C standard. We want to use Benchmark Factory (BMF) to run a workload on it because we like the graphic presentation of BMF
The table names are different on the existing TPC-C database. Is it possible to modify any configurations on BMF in order for us to be able to run a TPC-C BMF workload against our existing TPC-C database?If not, if we were to change the table names on the DB server to match the TPC-C table names from BMF, would this work in threory? -
Resolution
This is not supported due to the following reason…It’s possible to create synonyms that match the BMF table names, and point to the existing table names. But the data in the tables is likely to cause problems; BMF will attempt to create orders for warehouses that might not exist in the tables. The data in the tables can cause an issue even if data is to spec.
