The current limitation for the workload is the total population is divided into groups of "N" users (For example, 1000) and the NOTES.INI settings ST.BL.beginuser.number= and ST.BL.enduser.number= will vary accordingly on each client driver (1-1000,1001-2000, and so forth). This is used to maintain the internal list of users available to chat by the Sametime 7.0 workload.

Test Initialization

Run the Sametime 7.0 Initialization Workload.

Metrics

The measurements obtained by this test are:

• Throughput of completed IBM® Lotus® Notes® operations
• Average response time at maximum capacity
• Maximum number of Web Mail users supported
• The number of Logins per minute
• The number of Logouts per minute
• The number of IM Chats per minute
• The number of IM Chats missed per minute (where a partner cannot be found free to chat)
• The number of Resolves per minute
• The number of Status Changes per minute
• The number of Buddy List changes per minute
• The number of Awareness notifications per minute
• The number of Asynchronous notifications per minute
• The number of Login Errors per minute
• The number of Chat Errors per minute
• The number of Buddy List Errors per minute
• The number of Resolve Errors per minute

• Pause approximately 20 minutes
• Login users. For each user, read the buddy list from userstorage. Set user status to "Active"
• Loop for script iteration limit (average of 15 minutes per loop iteration)
  • Pause approximately four minutes.
  • Chat with one user, approximately five messages, average of 512 bytes each, with 30 seconds think time between each message
  • Pause approximately four minutes
  • Every third iteration, change to a random status, pause approximately five minutes, reset status to "Active"
  • Pause approximately five minutes
  • Every 24th iteration, add/remove a user from the buddy list
  • Pause approximately five minutes
• Every 12th iteration, log out, pause for approximately 10 minutes, log in.
• End Loop
• Pause approximately one minute

For 24 Iterations: ContextIterations 1, 2, 3 being 3, 24, 12 respectively:

Explicit Pause Times = 192(2*4*24)

Chat Pause Times = 60(5*0.5*24 )

Status Pause Times = 80(2*5*8)

Buddy List Pause Times = 5(1*5)

Logout Pause Times = 20(1*10*2)

For 24 Iterations (a six-hour period):

24 Chat with a user on B-list

Logouts - 2

Resolve - 1

Awareness - 1
