TPC-DI (Transaction Processing Performance Council - Data Integration)

This repository contains scripts and tools for running the TPC-DI benchmark. The latest specification is: tpc-di_v1.1.0.pdf.

How can I generate data for a TPC-DI benchmark trial?

TPC provides a tool that will create all files and data required for a trial run. Its only prerequisite is Java 7+. These instructions worked for DIGen Version: 1.1.0 on a Linux distro with Java 8.

1. Download the TPCDI_Tools zip file at TPC- Current Specifications.

2. Unzip this file. It will create a 'Tools' directory.

3. Change into the 'Tools' directory.

4. Change the 'PDGF' directory name to be all lower-case (i.e., 'pdgf').

5. Run DIGen with: $ java -jar DIGen.jar [options]. An output directory (-o) and a scale factory (-sf) should be specified. The scale factor will determine the amount of data that is generated.

6. Use $ java -jar DIGen.jar -h for more details and additional options.
