The benchmark wizard can generate an input file of test data to use during
a benchmark. It does the following:
- Determines the configured size of the business object
- Generates as many child objects as specified by the
BenchNumContainedObjs parameter in the business object-level
application-specific information for each child object
- Generates a numeric value for each attribute marked as key
- Compares the size of the data that would be generated based on the number
of child objects instantiated and the size of the data generated for key
attributes with the size specified by the user in the Size column
in the Object Properties screen in the wizard
- Fills String attributes with placeholder text as necessary to make up the
difference in size between the user-requested size and the size based on child
object instances and key values
- Produces a file of the proper format from the generated data.
To generate workload to a file, do the following:
- Launch the benchmark wizard as described in Starting the benchmark wizard, and choose Generate a workload to a file.
- In the Select a benchmark screen, highlight a defined benchmark under the
Benchmarks column and then click Next.
