Editing a benchmark definition

To edit a benchmark definition do the following:

  1. Launch the benchmark wizard as described in Starting the benchmark wizard, and choose Edit an existing benchmark.
  2. In the Benchmark State screen, highlight the benchmark you wish to edit in the Benchmarks column, and click Next.

    Figure 7. Benchmark State screen

    Figure 7 displays the Benchmark State screen, in which an existing benchmark can be selected for editing.

  3. (optional) To disable a benchmark, click Disabled from the list in the Status column. Disabled benchmarks do not execute when WebSphere InterChange Server restarts, enabling you to keep them defined in the system without executing, but while still performing tasks that require shutting down and restarting WebSphere InterChange Server.
    Important:
    Do not disable any benchmark while it is running. The system does not know if a benchmark is running, so there are no safeguards to prevent you from disabling a running benchmark. It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not disable a running benchmark. Disabling a running benchmark might produce unwanted results.
  4. (optional) Click a desired value from the list in the Trace level column.
    Note:
    Tracing affects performance and therefore skews the results of a benchmark, but may be helpful for troubleshooting if needed.
  5. Click Next to advance through the wizard and then proceed through the remaining screens as described in the sections "Configuring general settings", "Configuring benchmark components", and "Configuring object properties".
