How to make Swingbench 2.6 and Oracle 18c work together?

Question

Swingbench 2.6 supports Oracle 12c and I have been using it for 12c successfully. But I want to use it with Oracle 18c for testing purposes.

In case of using different wizards from swingbench\winbin folder I was getting scripts hanging except oewizard script and could only run CRUD tests with it using SYSTEM user instead of SOE.

So how to fix Swingbench scripts and Oracle configuration for that?

Answer 1

1. Partially it could be fixed by adding

   alter session set "_ORACLE_SCRIPT"=true;

command at the top of these five files:

swingbench/sql/CreUser.sql
swingbench/sql/json_createuser.sql
swingbench/sql/shdg_createuser.sql
swingbench/sql/soedgcreateuser.sql
swingbench/sql/tpcds_createuser.sql

2. During configuration sys as sysdba Administrator Username is filled by default. And during oewizard script execution Java throw a lot of

ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'USERS'

exceptions. So I've resolved it by:

$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> grant unlimited tablespace to sys;
SQL> alter user sys quota unlimited on users;
