"B2B New Order Request" Workload Description: This workload is driven by a program that runs on
a client work station that simulates multiple Web users. These simulated users send in cXML "New
Order Request" transactions to the System i server by issuing an HTTP post which includes the cXML
New Order Request file as the body of the message. Besides the Connect for iSeries product, other files
and back-end application code exist to complete this transaction flow. For this workload, XML validation
was disabled for both requests and response flows. The intention of this workload is to drive the server
with a heavy load and to quantify the performance of Connect for iSeries.
Measurement Results: One of the main focal points was to evaluate and compare the differences
between the back-end application connector types. The five connector types compared were the Java,
JDBC, MQ Series, Data Queue, and PCML connectors. The graphs below illustrates the relative
capacities for each of the connector types. Please visit this link to learn about differences in connector
types.
