Summit Application Setup

This document explains how to install the Summit Application, and a description of the scenario used for testing. It is assumed that you are familiar with configuring Forms.

Setup the Development Environment

1. Expand the ZIP file. This document uses C:\summit.
   
   
2. Create a user called SUMMIT in your database:
   
   SQL> connect system/manager
   SQL> create user summit identified by summit;
   SQL> grant resource, connect to summit;
   
   
3. From the command line, import the Summit data:
   
   imp userid=summit/summit@<connect_string> file=summit.dmp full=y
   
   
4. Put C:\summit in the FORMS60_PATH. For Windows, this is often set in the Registry.
   
   
5. Compile the application. The file GEN.BAT will generate the files under Microsoft Windows.

Setup the Runtime Environment

1. Add the following virtual directory to your web server configuration files. This example is for Apache and can be placed in HTTPD.CONF.
   
   #
   # Summit Application
   #
   Alias /summit/ "C:\summit/"
   
   
2. If you are using Forms 6.0.8.17 (patchset 8) or above, you can simply add the following to your FORMSWEB.CFG file, and go to step 6. Otherwise go to step 3.
   
   [summit]
   IE=JInitiator
   archive_jini=f60all_jinit.jar,/summit/RoundedButton.class
   userid=summit/summit@<connect_string>
   form=customers
   pageTitle=Summit
   splashScreen=no
   lookAndFeel=oracle
   separateFrame=false
   width=994
   height=582
   serverapp=/summit/summit_reg
   envFile=summit.env
   
   Don't forget to replace <connect_string> with your connect string.
   
   Copy C:\summit\summit.env to the same location as your FORMSWEB.CFG file.
   
   
3. Add /summit/RoundedButton.class to your archive parameter.
   
   
4. Modify your registry file so that Forms can find the icons for the Summit application:
   
   default.icons.iconpath=/summit/web/
   
   
5. Add C:\summit to your FORMS60_PATH.
   
   
6. Run the Form!

Workload Scenario

The following two scenarios describe the workloads used during scalability testing.

Data Entry

1. Locate the sales rep in the navigator tree of the customers.fmx form.
2. Choose different ordering of the customers by clicking on the name and phone button in the M/R-block.
3. Choose one customer in the navigator tree.
4. Verify address and phone number of the customer and quickly click through the other tabs of the customer detail block.
5. Double click on the customer to go to the ORDER.fmx form.
   
6. Scroll through the first five orders using the cursor key.
   
7. Press the "create record" key (CTRL-DOWN).
   
8. Insert a new order.
   
9. Insert a new item for this order, choosing it through the LOV on the product id item.
   
10. Verify, that the product is on stock by clicking on the STOCK button and press EXECUTE QUERY key (CTRL-F11). Then close the STOCK window immediately.
    
11. Do the same for three more items.
    
12. Press the SAVE iconic button to save the order in the database.
    
13. Now delete all the items, press the save key (CTRL-S), delete the order and press the save key again. (This is required so that we do not generate millions of orders during the performance tests).
    
14. Now enter a new order with only three items following the same steps as above.
    
15. Delete this order as well.
    
16. Exit the order form.

The scenario takes approximately 10 minutes. If an order entry is completed faster, wait until the 10 minutes were completed. This was done 3 times, so that the resulting script had a duration of 30 minutes.

Query

1. Look for a sales person in the navigator tree.
   
2. Order his customers using the buttons in the customer M/R block.
   
3. Choose a customer in the navigator.
   
4. Examine the customer detail information on each tab-folder.
   
5. Do the above operation for 5 minutes with plenty time for reading through the information on the customer tab.
   
6. After 5 minutes double click on a customer node in the navigator tree.
   
7. For 5 minutes use different queries to select orders and scroll through the result sets.
   
8. Take time to read the order and item information.
   
9. Exit the order form.

The above steps were performed for 30 minutes.
