5. Describe the type and number of clients. (Note: Logged-in users are connected to the Oracle database
while active users are "working" at any given time. The active users are categorized as light, medium
or heavy. Based on industry standards, the light/medium/heavy Forms users perform 4/8/15 business
events per user per hour, while all other light/medium/heavy users perform 2/4/6 business events per
user per hour respectively. A business event consists of a complete set of user actions such as entering
a journal or inquiring an account.)
