Quick start of the oltp workload

Install the RWP*Load Simulator and set environment variables properly.
Make sure you have gnuplot and a http server installed and running.
If at all possible, create a repository that is not in your database under test.
Create a database for your testing.
Decide upon a short project name (could be the same as your database) and copy the two files oltp.env and oltp.rwl using your project name to your working directory.
Edit these two files according to the comments in them. Note that the latter file with rwl suffix often is referred to as your projects parameter file.
Create the awr directory and results directory.
Prepare your http server such that the awr directory is visible from a browser.
Run oltpverify -ds to verify directories and dba access to your database.
Run oltpcreate to create schemas.
Run oltpverify -a for a complete verification of database schemas.
Run oltpcore as your first run
Verify you can browse results from this run

You will now be ready to do real runs that may include:

Note that most scripts take a -H option to provide a brief help.

All reference guides is available as rwlman pages, start with rwlman oltp
