MySQL OLTP (Transactional) - Hammerora - SourceForge

This sections describes the procedure to install and configure the Load Generation Server and the SUT
Database Server.
Load Generation Server Installation
On the Load Generation Server you must have already installed the MySQL client software and once
Hammerora is installed it must know where to find the client libraries. The MySQL client software is also
included in a MySQL database software installation. On Linux the important environment variables are
PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH which should be set to the location of the MySQL client library. The MySQL
client library will be found in the MySQL lib directory such as the /usr/local/mysql/ lib directory. Once done
so Hammerora will be able to find the client library such as shown example:
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16
After installation on starting Hammerora if the client library is not accessible Hammerora will report an
error. This must be resolved before Hammerora will interact with a MySQL environment. Ensure however
that the error reported relates to the MySQL libraries. Hammerora will report an error when it cannot find
either the Oracle or MySQL libraries and therefore when testing MySQL the error related to finding Oracle
libraries can be safely ignored.
On Windows the PATH environment variable is important and can be set on your System Properties,
Advanced Tab as shown in figure 5.
