Benchmark Factory allows you to create the following connections:
You can add BFScripts to the Benchmark Factory Data Source Names, allowing you to have individual agents test against a different server. BFScripts have been enabled on the User name and Password fields.
To add BFScripts to the Data Source Name
Benchmark Factory allows you to create an Oracle connection using an Oracle client, direct connecton, or ODBC.
To create an Oracle connection
Enter the connection information. Review the following for additional information:
Note: BFScripts have been enabled on the User Name and Password fields.

---|---|
Flush data buffer caches at start of each test iteration |
Select to clear data buffer caches between iterations. Note: To perform this action, the Oracle database account must have certain privileges. In Oracle 9i, the ALTER SESSION privilege is required. In Oracle 10g or later, the ALTER SYSTEM privilege is required. |
Flush shared pool at start of each test iteration |
Select to clear shared pool between iterations. Note: To perform this action, the Oracle database account must have the ALTER SYSTEM privilege. |
Note: Cached data can improve performance, so selecting one or both of these options can prevent cached data from affecting subsequent iterations.
