BMFServer.exe

BMFServer.exe is a non-UI executable installed with Benchmark Factory. BMFServer.exe performs the same functionality as Benchmark Factory, except BMFServer.exe has no graphic user interface. This allows you to easily integrate BMFServer.exe into your continuous integration or continuous testing process.

Note: This feature is not available in the freeware edition of Benchmark Factory.

Details

  • BMFServer.exe is installed into the bin sub-directory of the installation directory at the time you install Benchmark Factory.

    The default location is: C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Benchmark Factory <version>\bin

  • You cannot run the Benchmark Factory console and BMFServer.exe at the same time on the same machine.
  • To enter or modify your Benchmark Factory license, you must use the Benchmark Factory console, not BMFServer.exe.

How to Use BMFServer.exe

Use BMFServer.exe when automating your continuous improvement / continuous testing process. You can run BMFServer.exe using a script, a custom application, or the Command Prompt window. The REST API included with Benchmark Factory can be used with BMFServer.exe.

  • To modify settings, use the BMFServer.ini file or use the Command Prompt window.
  • The default REST API port number for BMFServer.exe is the same as the Benchmark Factory console, port 30100.
  • The default TCP/IP port for BMFServer.exe is the same as for the Benchmark Factory console, port 4568.

Licensing

Licensing and Keys

The Benchmark Factory Licensing dialog allows you to enter a new license key or modify a license.

To extend a trial, purchase a license, or find answers to your licensing questions, contact Quest at https://www.quest.com/contact.

Licenses Determine Feature Availability

The features available, including the ability to connect to certain types of databases, are determined by the license or licenses currently active in Benchmark Factory. Benchmark Factory supports multiple licenses. If multiple licenses are active, for example one from a Toad for Oracle Edition and one from a Toad for SQL Server Edition, multiple license-dependent features are enabled.

Important: If you delete an active Trial key from the Licensing dialog, any features enabled by the Trial key and not included in one of the remaining active licenses will be disabled.

Toad Edition Licenses

When Benchmark Factory is licensed as part of a Toad Edition (such as a Toad for Oracle Edition), the Toad Edition license is listed in the Benchmark Factory Licensing dialog. The license enables features applicable to the Toad Edition. Deleting the license will disable features enabled by the license and not supported by another currently-active license.

Upgrade an Earlier-Version License Key

If you need help finding your license number or an upgrade key, please contact the License Administration team at: https://support.quest.com/licensing-assistance.

 

Adding Virtual Users

Benchmark Factory comes with 100 virtual users by default.  Benchmark Factory Freeware comes with 20 virtual users. Virtual users simulate the load against the system-under-test. Each virtual user is a separate thread, acting independently of the other virtual users, with its own connection to the system-under-test. Each virtual user tracks its own statistics that includes transaction times and the number of times a transaction executes.

Benchmark Factory can scale up to an unlimited number of concurrent load users. Additional virtual users allow you to:

  • Accurately determine system throughput and capacity for database systems
  • Simulate thousands of concurrent users with a minimal amount of hardware
  • Find applications that do not scale well with an increase in the number of users
  • Find breaking points, weak links, or bottlenecks of a system
  • Quantify application or server performance with realistic workloads

To request additional concurrent load users, please contact your Quest Software representative, or visit the Benchmark Factory Web site.
