Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Activation time	Indicates the time spent in activating a stateful session bean.	Secs	If the EJB container spends more time in passivating and activating the bean instances, then try increasing the timeout period for EJBs. The default value is five seconds. This property can be set in the container properties file for the Partition you are configuring. This file is located at: /var/servers//adm/properties/partitions/(partition-name)/services/ejbcontainer.properties. This file can be edited to set the ejb.sfsb.passivation_timeout property.
