Benchmark Factory allows you to create a connection to a SAP database using native database provider connectivity or ODBC connectivity.

Create SAP native connection need to configure sql.ini file.

To configure sql.ini file

The sql.ini file contains information about the network locations of servers. Open Client uses the network information provided by the query line of a sql.ini file entry to connect to the server. By default, Open Client and Open Server products look for sql.ini in the %SYBASE%\ini directory.

The following provides an form of a sql.ini file entry:

[SERVERNAME]

Description  

Server Name

 Enter the name of the server

service_type

 Enter the type of connection.

driver

SQL Server DB-Library connection (obsolete)

The SQL Server DB-Library connection is available in the 32-bit version of Benchmark Factory. Before using this connection type, please review the following considerations.

  • For connections to SQL Server 2005 (or later), the SQL Server native connection or ODBC connection is preferred. Microsoft SQL Server is no longer including the DB-Library for database client connectivity.
  • The SQL Server DB-Library connection cannot be used to connect to SQL Server 2014 or later.

Miscellaneous

Select the Miscellaneous tab of the Connection dialog to specify options for flushing cached data. Review the following for additional information.

Note: The Miscellaneous tab is only available when creating a SQL Server Native connection. For a SQL Server ODBC connection, the default options specified in Edit | Settings | SQL Server are used.

Database Flush  
Clean data buffer and procedure caches at start of each test iteration

Select this option to instruct Benchmark Factory to clear cached data between iterations. Cached data can improve performance, so selecting this option can prevent cached data from affecting subsequent iterations.

Notes:

  • This option is only applicable to SQL Server 2005 or later.
  • To perform this action, the SQL Server database account must have the sysadmin fixed server role.

Performance Counters

Select the Performance Counters tab of the Connection dialog to add additional performance counters to a connection. See Performance Counters Tab for more information.

  

Edit and Manage Connections

To edit a connection, use the My Connections pane or click the Edit Connections button in the main toolbar.
