Confusion about 990FXA GD65v2 bios.

So I just got the mobo listed in the title and I am trying to find out 100% positively if it will support Vishera (plan on getting a FX 6300) right out of the box. I keep seeing things that say it will but then I keep seeing things that contradict what I previously read. Even the box has a sticker that says B2 stepping ready but B2 stepping would be Zambezi, Vishera has C0 stepping. The US MSI page for this board has also never been updated so it really is of no help. The non-US MSI page has the nonV2 version listed but it says Vishera is supported by the 19.9 bios, which contradicts the New Egg review that claims the V2 is loaded with 19.7 bios and supports Vishera. I am very confused and just want to know if I can buy an FX 6300 for this mobo and not have to worry about flashing the bios to get it to work. Looking for definitive answers on this.

Wont swear by it but most V2 are V2 for the vishera fix.  The only real issue with the Vishera is extreme overclocking.  My fx8350 runs flawlessly at 4.2/4.6turbo.  Havent had luck getting to 4.8.  So it is worth it.

that is the thread most of us discuss issues and the round about to deal with any issues.  I give detailed information about my issues with this mobo and how I got my stability and explain issues and the problems they caused.  Could help you decide further.

    No, they don't. If they did, they would have the same name.
    http://us.msi.com/support/mb/990FXAGD65V2.html#down-bios
    That should be a link for the 990FXA-GD65V2 bios download page.
     Actually they do use the same BIOS. The link you provided stopped at BIOS 19.7 (7640vJ7.zip), BIOS files for the V2 are way out of date but the 990FXA-GD65 has updated BIOS files up to 19.9 (7640vJ9.zip) + K.x for W8. K.x should only be used with W8, not XP or W7.
    http://us.msi.com/support/mb/990FXAGD65.html#support_download
     For the FX 8320 CPU you would have needed 19.9 (7640vJ9.zip)
     Funki,
     What OS do you have?

  • Confused about the 'cpu fsb clock frequency' setting, etc., in cell in bios

    just got a new k8n neo2-f nforce3 board with an a64 3500+ venice chip.  It is properly recognized in the bios and windows as an a64 3500+ at 2.2ghz, but I'm confused about the cell menu settings in the bios. I see a 'cpu fsb clock frequency' which was automatically set at 200mhz, but the fsb runs at 1Ghz (1000mhz), so what is the 'fsb clock frequency' if not equal to the cpu fsb?  Is 200 the correct setting for that?  Should I need to change any of the other settings in here?  I wonder, because my 3dmark03 score only went up 200 points from the same system with a AthlonXP 2500+ chip and kt4avl mobo, which seems like a low increase to me.....

    I would set that to Manual in BIOS, so that you can incremently increase the CPU speed without causing a sudden crash. Each system is different and operates within the specs of not only the CPU, but system memory and PCI-E add-ins as well. Your video card is the primary driver behgind your 3DMark scores...but you haven't listed that?!

  • [MSI Z97 Xpower AC] Confusion about about BIOS updating...

    So I am a newb who has just finished his first build, using the "MSI Z97 Xpower AC" motherboard (purchased last month).
    The first thing I want to do is update the BIOS.
    But I am a little confused about how I should proceed.
    In the manual, it describes the "M-Flash" method for updating BIOS.
    But as I was reading reviews of this motherboard, there was some talk about the manual being "out-dated" in regards to BIOS update instructions. Some people suggested using some "forum method" for updating. I also see this topic which provides an alternative method for updating the BIOS:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.0
    So how do you think I should proceed with updating the BIOS?
    Really, what is the safest method?

    Quote from: JLio01 on 31-March-15, 07:54:03
    Forum tool is safer, M-Flash is easier. (my pov..)
    I agree with that. Although for this motherboard (any with Dual BIOS), it should not matter whether it's safer or not, as you can always restore bricked BIOS by using secondary one
    As you are using very first version of BIOS (v1.0) you can either use >>This One<< for MFlash which is latest official available v1.7 from MSI's product website OR for latest official/BETA BIOS to be used with Forum flash tool, you have to ask Svet to prepare a file for you (simply ask for it on current topic)
    But the real question is: do you have any issues with your system that BIOS will fix it?? Because if your reason to flash is "I want latest", then forgive me, but that's the worst "reason" you might ever have.

  • Confusion about UEFI/BIOS and GPT/MBR compatibility issues

    So a user said in another post that they were NOT able to boot in UEFI mode and install Fedora even though it is UEFI compatible.  But this person was able to useLegacy mode and install Fedora, and furthermore, was able to "keep the Windows partition."  I'm guessing that means that Win 8 that came with it, which would be installed in UEFI/GPT mode, correct?  I'm specificly referring to the Y510P but from what I understand *every* laptop that comes preinstalled with Win 8 must be UEFI/GPT.
    So the way I understand it is that the installed Fedora is in "BIOS"/GPT mode rather than "BIOS"/MBR mode because you can't have both GPT and MBR on the same disc.
    I have just started learning about this UEFI/BIOS and MBR/GPT nonsense, and it's going to drive me crazy until I finally understand it. So I guess what I'm asking is:
    1) When I get my y510p I assume it will be in UEFI/GPT mode. Can I install non-UEFI distros alongside it as I take it was done with Fedora?
    2) If I install a linux distro alongside Win 8, do I have to worry about compatibility issues with a drive that is in GPT format? Or does the MBR/GPT issue have nothing to do with it, so I don't have to worry about ever changing my drive to MBR?  
    For example, I read that Win 7 must be installed either as BIOS/MBR or UEFI/GPT.  This can not be mixed and matched.  This means that if I could not get the Windows 7 installer to boot in UEFI I would have to install as MBR.  This also means I would have to format the drive and reinstall Win 8 on the MBR.  
    So my question is do other OS's like Linux have these restrictions?  (For example, if a particular distro will not boot in UEFI and therefor MUST install on MBR)
    3) I have a pendrive with YUMI installed with a ton of distros/tools/Win installs/etc. (It is a USB boot tool like unetbootin that allow you to add multiple bootable images.) When I tried it recently on my dad's laptop.  I have used it many, many times with my older computers, none of which were UEFI.  It works great.  Now that I've had a recent encounter with my dad's ASUS Windows 8 computer (not with the y510p yet) I found out that UEFI seems to be complicating the crap out of things (for me, at least.)
    So when I used this computer, I noticed that when I boot (with legacy mode enabled) and enter the "boot selection screen" in order to boot with USB, I have two options a) UEFI:"name of usb" and b) "name of USB". The UEFI option would NOT boot, but it would boot without the UEFI: option.
    So does this mean that I am booting in non-UEFI mode and once I have booted this way and choose a distro to install that it CANNOT install in UEFI mode?  I recently saw a tool called Rufus that I have yet to try that has an option to set the bootable USB to UEFI, so that would possibly work if I wanted to install a UEFI compatible distro (Arch linux is what I'm wanting.)
    4)  If installing a UEFI compatible distro (such as Arch) requires that the USB device be able to boot in UEFI mode has anyone been able to do this?  Has anyone even been able to boot a device in UEFI mode to do *anything* such as run a live linux?  
    I'm 99% sure I would be able to boot in legacy mode and run a live linux (because I did so on my dad's computer) but the problems arise when I consider how to INSTALL.
    I would really like to know the answers to these questions (as scattered as they are.) Any help would be appreciated!
    Unnecessary info:
    (I started learning about BIOS/UEFI and MBR/GPT the hard way a few days ago by trying for hours to install Windows 7 on my dad's Windows 8 laptop because I could NOT get Win 7 installation to work...it kept asking for drivers before I could install until I finally used the Windows USB install tool, put the stick in a different USB, AND formatted the drive as MBR because Windows 7 would NOT install on the existing GPT drive until I used diskpart.exe -clean. And I have read that Win 7 64 bit will work fine on a UEFI/GPT setup. I used the Windows 7 USB boot tool which did NOT give me a UEFI: and regular option. It showed up simply as "name of usb" without a UEFI in front. Since I read that Windows 7 must either be in BIOS/MBR mode or UEFI/GPT mode that this drive would not boot in UEFI mode, and I don't know why...Although I believe I read that Win 7 cannot be installed from a USB in UEFI/GPT mode, only BIOS/MBR.  UEFI/GPT mode requires a DVD install but I did not have a drive to test this.)

    I have a Y510p which is running dual boot Windows 8.1 and Arch Linux.   I think that it is strongly advised to do plenty of reading ahead of any install if you will be using UEFI and Linux so that you understand all the issued before making critical changes to the existing system.
    Yes, if the machine comes with Windows 8 (as mine did) then the disk will be formatted with a GPT partition table (instead of the old MBR partitioning scheme), and will boot using UEFI. If you are going to try to keep the existing Windows 8 system and add Linux then you will need to keep the disk with its GPT partition table and partition structure, but you can shrink the Windows 8 C: drive to make space for the Linux partitions that are needed ( a root partition and at least a /home and/or /opt partition and possibly a linux swap partition also ).  If you want to boot the Linux install via UEFI then you can simply add the required boot directory to the EFI System Partition (ESP).
    However it is very important that before trying to do any linux install that you switch off Fastboot from within WIndows 8 (or 8.1). Also most Linux distributions are in some difficulty booting using Secure Boot, though a few such a Ubuntu and Fedora are supposed to be able to do so. Hence it is much easier to work with Linux if Secure Boot is first switched off from the BIOS settings menu.
    The order of operations that I used was;
    1) Switch off Secure Boot from the BIOS - and boot back into the Windows 8 system to check that it boots OK.
    2) With Windows 8 running go into the settings and switch off Fastboot (which does a hybrid suspend when it shuts down instead of a full normal shutdown - if you don't do this then the memory gets overwritten when booting Linux in the future which means booting back into Windows will fail). 
    3) Reboot back into WIndows and check all is well, and if so then use the disk management facility within Windows 8 to shrink the C: drive to make room for the Linux partitions.
    4) Reboot to check Windows 8 still boots OK.  
    5) If you are going to update to Windows 8.1 then do so, and then update everything once it is booted (it is a huge update and takes ages!). Once done then you will likely have to update drivers for the graphics cards, the clickpad and possibly the wireless chip and ethernet chip. I found that I needed to get drivers that were newer than were available on the Lenovo website, by going to the relevant hardware manufacturer website (eg for synaptics for the clickpad). Then spent a week or so in the evenings getting Windows 8.1 configured the way I like it.
    6) Then I did a lot of reading about the various options for the boot manager that would suit a UEFI boot for a dual boot system for Windows 8.1 and Arch Linux and there was a choice of Grub, Gummiboot, rEFInd, and others - and after reading the details I decided on rEFInd as my boot manager which can boot not only any new Arch Linux install but automatically finds the Windows UEFI boot files and presents the options in a nice graphical window once the system gets past POST at bootup.
    7) It was important to check which partition was the ESP and to know what partitions I needed to create for the Arch Linux system.  Then I went ahead and booted from a usbkey to a uefi install system, and very carefully proceeded with a standard Arch Linux install, being particularly careful to know where to put the rEFInd boot manager files and the kernel and initrd files. Also I used efibootmgr to write the appropriate NVRAM boot entry in the motherboard memory so that the uefi boot system knows where to find the rEFInd uefi boot files in the ESP.
    8) Once complete the system boots to Arch Linux as the default, with a nice Windows icon which you can select with the arrow keys within the boot timeout period (default 20 seconds).
    I noted also that it is possible to create boot stanzas in the rEFInd boot manager config files which allow rEFInd to chain load other Linux systems or even other bootloaders if you wish - so it is very flexible. So if you want to you could install a grub standalone set of diretories/files so that if the normal linux boot fails then you can select the grub icon from rEFInd and chainload grub to boot either the same Archlinux install, or point to a third linux distribution if you have more partitions containing that third install which might be Ubuntu or Mint or ....
    Either way although getting to understand how uefi boot works is a learning curve it is actually generally simpler than the old legacy BIOS boot. With uefi you no longer need an MBR on the drive, and only a suitable EFI System Partition which has to be VFAT formatted. However if you want to have one of the linux distributions booting from legacy MBR then you need to create an MBR at the start of the drive - so you would need to move the start of the first partition and create a suitable sized Master Boot Record otherwise MBR boot can't work. If you do that then of course you have to be careful if the Windows partition is the one being re-sized that it doesn't mess up the Windows boot! However since using uefi to boot rEFInd allows a chainload to grub/gummiboot or other bootloaders then there should be no need to mess with MBR booting if you go down that route.
    If you are interested in rEFInd then the author Rod Smith has a good set of documentation that describe the details at http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
    He is also the author of a really excellent disk partitioner for GPT disks - http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/
    Clearly it is necessary to read up on the boot facilities available for any linux distribution that you plan to put on the system.
    One nice thing is that uefi boot with an efistub supported kernel build is really fast on the Y510p. My system boots Arch linux in about 7 seconds to the KDE login prompt once the POST is complete and that only takes a couple of seconds.  Of course Windows is much slower once it is selected at the rEFInd screen and takes somewherearound 40 seconds or so to boot, but at least Linux is super fast!
    Anyway I hope that this helps.

  • 990FXA-GD65V2-all plugs going to the motherboard-help me out!!!

    Hello again,
    Its been a little since my last post....took a little break from building the monsters. Here is the specs I will have on this board...
    FX 8150
    990FXA-GD65V2
    PCS HD7870 GHZ version
    240gb HP SSD  v300a
    RX-850AE-Modular Power supply with a 80 Plus Gold
    ZALMAN Z11
    H80I cosair Water loop
    My question this time. I have used this board in the past-maybe it wasn't the GD65. But I noticed when looking at the pics. It has an Extra 6 pin plug for the board. So along with the 8 pin and the 24 pin. Do you have to plug in the 6 pin too, even if your Video card already has 2 of the 6 pins?
    Do I plug a 6 pin in the board----And Plug the 2 six pins in the Video Card. Is the 6 pin that goes into the board the same plug as the 6 pin that goes into the card? I have not recieved the board yet....But I would like to figure this out before it gets here.
    Thanks all for the answers and help.......

    So all the updates are complete...Superfast...Way better than the 890 ECS board I had in this...But I have a few questions..
    Live update---Is saying I need to update my chipset. So I downloaded the newest chipset...all good...But when I re run Live update it says the same thing...Cpu-z say Chipset RD9x0 southbridge SB910/950 LpCIO F71889A....
    Everything is running fine and great---But I also noticed....In CC I see Overdrive for the Card....But I don't see the amd overdrive for the CPU...Kind weird.....I had it on the 980ecs board--But it don't show up here.......I even went to amd site...download the latest driver for the 7870 and the chipset........Just weird Live update is still saying I need to update-The chipset.......
    Next question-I decided to use the DDR3 1600 Ram I had with the Cas7......But when I went into Bios....I set the ram to auto-- 1600....I believe I set to link---and than it let me set the timing----But when I put in the timing 7-8-7-24 and left the rest on auto.....It would not post to bios and I had to reset......When I went back....I only set the ram to 1600...and did not change anything else....Booted fine....Ram is Fast....But timing is 9-11-11-29....I will probably leave it alone....If it aint broke don't fix it........But wondering if I did something wrong-Ram is G.skill Ripjaw X." I have decided to save the 4x4 gb 2133 for my next I7 3770k build next week or so"
    So far Updates went Great....Did not take to long....Cpu score higher on this board.....I got a 7.7 cpu---7.7 memory--7.9--aero-gaming-Hard drive........On the ecs board I got 7.6--7.6....and 7.9 on the rest..........Temps are awesome with new H80I-----16 and under on idle"we know that bulldozer use Hex decimal below 45c".....and on load around 45c......Thermal paste....I just used Cosair......Cosair link on silent....
    Any Idea on the chipset and the timing ?????
    >>>>Do you think it has to do with control center?<<<<<<<<<<<I also noticed-In Bios there was no pci-e options....I know that this board does not have on board video. But I am pretty sure boards I have had in the past-still had the option...Not a big deal-Just wondering...
    >>>Sorry for making this so long<<<<
    Another thing I noticed-or a few things.....The FX 8150 and a few other amd 8 core cpus-When booting, like to pause before getting to the bios screen-Before the little numbers on the btm. Before it get to any parts of the bios before boot. I have built about 10 of these bulldozer beast. Different boards-Brand new Processors-all purchased from the start to now. Every single build-I have had the same issue. 15 to 10 second pause-blank screen, computer on with fans-Than the little numbers-bios screen and windows. Once it gets to the little numbers-it take 15 sec to boot. total boot time-30 seconds....If it would work normal-I would get a 15 second boot....Do you happen to know why?
    I also noticed-because now I have one click bios 2 in windows. Temps are way way off. any windows monitor tool is reading in the low teens...But Bios give the right temp. Figured out-You can not use any hardware monitor tool for the cpu temp----of course till it hits 45c or higher....But I did find it on Hardware Monitor-TMPIN----Mine is 0......Not sure what other boards might be....But I was able to compare both and they go up in temp together and the same with down....TMPIN0 is my Bios core temp....Just wish there was a program that could pull the bios temp and put it on desktop-My corsair Link is wrong--But You can watch the Temp of the pump--Hardware monitor-speccy-and core temp when it don't freeze the 8150's..."whole diff. Issues there.".
    These are the only issues-and Things I figured out with this build.
    Thanks again for all your time and trouble.......

    the manufaturing number are the same but if you read the info on the first link it says 3.6Ghz and the seconed link says 3.0Ghz now is there a BIG (_*_) Mistake or are the company TigerDirect being too specific causing me to be insane lol huh ? Please help me I am trying to get a 3.2Ghz chip egzactley the same as in link 2 but 3.2Ghz not 3.0Ghz are they out yet?
    Please help Thank You very much :P

    I am so happy that I am an MSI guy here at this lovely forum I mean you all helped me so much and you did not have to but I do apreesheate it a lot from you guys I do know that I will be tossing plenty of money in to this chip but the reason why it so high at tigerdirect is because you are paying for there name brand and there product but I love shoping at there store because they are always polite there over the phone and I always get there best service there so I don't mind paying an extra few hundread dollors for there stuff.
    The reason for tossing so much money into this machine is no im not rich we or shall I say I am avrage I have a good job and still live with my parants so I have no utility bills to pay except insurance for my car every month but other then that I can save up quickley if I manage my money the right way hehe. But anywho I paid for the new from soyo SY-P4i875P Dragon2 Platinum Edition Motherboard capable of 3.02Ghz and will have a 3.00Ghz in it with HT   I bought it from http://www.Outpost.com/ witch I did love there service all around but if you pay by check be prepared to wait for 2 weeks lol god lee don't they know wow to torture there customers hehe so plz use money orders hehe but they sent it airborne express I belive thats what it is called correct me if im wrong. and that was quick hehe and also they make sure the person gets it too by having me sign for the package hehe I love how that works.
    I guess you guys are like havent he heard of paragraphs hehe:) Nope sure havent but since I went all out on video and sound I thought hey you know what why don't I dump this AMD and go for Intel pentium but before this desicion came around I was working on my Shuttle AK31 v3.1 and come to find out I ordered the wrong cpu when after I upgraded my bios to handle the xp2100+ cpu 1.73Ghz Thurobroud and was running the 1900+ 1.60Ghz Palimieo or what ever it was called but find out it would on;y run the paliminio chip so I was like well I don't want to overclock my board and put any stress on the board so I will put that 1900+ back in so I take my computer apart and go to take off the volcano 7+ fan made by thermaltake and requires a screwdriver flathead and a bit of skill in there words be carfull and use our product at your risk...lol
    anyways the scredriver sliped and broke off a micro transister and I was like oh crap and could had cryed for damaging my babie but I belive it was time to move on and that is why it hapened when it did hehe..
    but I called tigerdirect to get back on to the subject and told them what I was confused about and magell was his name I believe and he said yes it was a 3.00Ghz and the HT was what made it clock like a 3.06Ghz processor. So I was like wooo thats a relief and was so happy now I will order all of this below hope yo like my system hehe I know I will.

    Were you removing graphics driver before installing different graphics card?
    Since this board supports both: SLI and CrossfireX, maybe try secondary PCIe slot and see if it crashes then too? Card will only work at X8 but should show a bit more.
    his computer can't boot to do that

  • 990FXA-GD65v2 and New SSD

    I'm starting to pull my hair out over this because I'm not sure what's going on!
    My system includes the 990FXA-GD65v2 on BIOS version 19.9, which it came with. I have two (2) x 2TB HDDs in a RAID 1 configuration for redundant data storage, and a single Samsung 840 Pro 250GB with the OS on it. I recently purchased a new Samsung 850 EVO 500GB to replace the 840 Pro that was constantly running low on space. With no requirement to retain the existing Windows 8.1 Pro operating system, I opted to load the operating system fresh. After installing the new SSD in place of the old one, I was able to see it in BIOS, as well as in the RAID controller (though it is set as a "Single Disk" like the previous SSD). However, I'm not able to see it in the Windows 8.1 Pro installation DVD.
    Curious, I replaced my original SSD, and hooked the new SSD into another SATA port. Once booted into my original OS, I was unable to see the new SSD in device manager.
    I also attempted to clone the old SSD to the new SSD using Acronis 2014 on a boot CD. The clone was successful, but on restart, the computer was not able to boot to the new SSD.
    Both new and old SSDs are on the latest firmware. I attempted to provide the RAID driver for the board while trying to install Windows, even though the RAID 1 configuration shows up already, but the new SSD still does not show up.
    Help me!
    Thank you so much in advance for any replies.

    k.4 the version of the 990FXA-GD65 is compatible with the 990FXA-GD65V2?
    the 990FXA-GD65 and 990FXA-GD65V2 are exactly the same the only difference is the V2 version shipped with a newer version of the VBIOS back when the FX CPU's first hit the market as the normal ones did not have a BIOS that supported them!
    In essence they are the exact same product and use the exact same BIOS versions as each other the V2 just points out it will support a FX processor out the box!

  • I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

    I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out.  The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for.  Is this a stupid question?

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

  • Confuse about the injecting entity in EJB 3.0?

    Hi all,
    I have an customersBean which is inherit from customersRemote and my problem is i' am little confuse about injecting the entity(customer).
    Where can you apply the EntityManagerFactory is it outside on EJB or Inside the EJB? means outside EJB is use the web application or java application. i have and example.
    this is inside on EJB...............
    public class CustomersBean implements com.savingsaccount.session.CustomersRemote {
    @PersistenceContext(unitName="SavingAccounts")
    EntityManagerFactory emf;
    EntityManager em;
    /** Creates a new instance of CustomersBean */
    public CustomersBean() {
    public void create(int id, String name, String address, String telno, String mobileno)
    try{
    //This is the entity.
    Customer _customer = new Customer();
    _customer.setId(id);
    _customer.setName(name.toString());
    _customer.setAddress(address.toString());
    _customer.setTelno(telno.toString());
    _customer.setMobileno(mobileno.toString());
    em = emf.createEntityManager();
    em.persist(_customer);
    emf.close();
    }catch(Exception ex){
    throw new EJBException(ex.toString());
    in web application, i'm using the @EJB in customer servlets.
    public class CustomerProcessServlet extends HttpServlet {
    @EJB
    private CustomersRemote customerBean;
    blah blah inject directly coming request field from jsp.
    }

  • Confused about logical table source

    Hi,
    I'm confused about logical table source(LTS), there are 'General', 'Column Mapping', 'Content' tabs in
    LTS, in General tab ,there are some information,like 'Map to there tables' and 'joins',
    just here, we have created relationships in physical layer and BMM layer, so I would like to ask what's the use of the 'joins' here?

    Hi Alpha,
    Valid query, when you establish a complex join it is always between a logical fact and dimension table.Consider a scenario,
    Example:w_person_dx is an extension table not directly joined to a fact but joins to a dimension w_person_d.
    When you model the person_d tables in BMM, you ll have a single logical table with w_person_d as source.If you have to pull columns from both w_person_d and w_person_dx tables in a report, you add dx table as inner join to persond table in the general tab.Now when you check your physical query, you can see the inner join fired between the two dimensions.

  • Confused about transaction, checkpoint, normal recovery.

    After reading the documentation pdf, I start getting confused about it's description.
    Rephrased from the paragraph on the transaction pdf:
    "When database records are created, modified, or deleted, the modifications are represented in the BTree's leaf nodes. Beyond leaf node changes, database record modifications can also cause changes to other BTree nodes and structures"
    "if your writes are transaction-protected, then every time a transaction is committed the leaf nodes(and only leaf nodes) modified by that transaction are written to JE logfiles on disk."
    "Normal recovery, then is the process of recreating the entire BTree from the information available in the leaf nodes."
    According to the above description, I have following concerns:
    1. if I open a new environment and db, insert/modify/delete several million records, and without reopen the environment, then normal recovery is not run. That means, so far, the BTree is not complete? Will that affact the query efficiency? Or even worse, will that output incorrect results?
    2. if my above thinking is correct, then every time I finish commiting transactions, I need to let the checkpoint to run in order to recreate the whole BTree. If my above thinking is not correct, then, that means that, I don't need to care about anything, just call transaction.commit(), or db.sync(), and let je to care about all the details.(I hope this is true :>)
    michael.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/TransactionGettingStarted/chkpoint.html
    Checkpoints are normally performed by the checkpointer background thread, which is always running. Like all background threads, it is managed using the je.properties file. Currently, the only checkpointer property that you may want to manage is je.checkpointer.bytesInterval. This property identifies how much JE's log files can grow before a checkpoint is run. Its value is specified in bytes. Decreasing this value causes the checkpointer thread to run checkpoints more frequently. This will improve the time that it takes to run recovery, but it also increases the system resources (notably, I/O) required by JE.

  • Confused about extending the Sprite class

    Howdy --
    I'm learning object oriented programming with ActionScript and am confused about the Sprite class and OO in general.
    My understanding is that the Sprite class allows you to group a set of objects together so that you can manipulate all of the objects simultaneously.
    I've been exploring the Open Flash Chart code and notice that the main class extends the Sprite class:
    public class Base extends Sprite {
    What does this enable you to do?
    Also, on a related note, how do I draw, say, a line once I've extended it?
    Without extending Sprite I could write:
    var graphContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
    var newLine:Graphics = graphContainer.graphics;
    And it would work fine. Once I extend the Sprite class, I'm lost. How do I modify that code so that it still draws a line? I tried:
    var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
    My understanding is that since I'm extending the Sprite class, I should still be able to call its graphics method (or property? I have no idea). But, it yells at me, saying "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Graphics.

    Thanks -- that helped get rid of the error, I really appreciate it.
    Alas, I am still confused about the extended Sprite class.
    Here's my code so far. I want to draw an x-axis:
    package charts {
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.display.Graphics;
        public class Chart extends Sprite {
            // Attributes
            public var chartName:String;
            // Constructor
            public function Chart(width:Number, height:Number) {
                this.width = width;
                this.height = height;
            // Methods
            public function render() {
                drawAxis();
            public function drawAxis() {
                var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
                newLine.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
                newLine.moveTo(0, 100);
                newLine.lineTo(100, 100);
    I instantiate Chart by saying var myChart:Chart = new Chart(); then I say myChart.render(); hoping that it will draw the axis, but nothing happens.
    I know I need the addChild method somewhere in here but I can't figure out where or what the parameter is, which goes back to my confusion regarding the extended Sprite class.
    I'll get this eventually =)

  • Confused about standby redo log groups

    hi masters,
    i am little bit confuse about creating redo log group for standby database,as per document number of standby redo group depends on following equation.
    (maximum number of logfiles for each thread + 1) * maximum number of threads
    but i dont know where to fing threads? actually i would like to know about thread in deep.
    how to find current thread?
    thanks and regards
    VD

    is it really possible that we can install standby and primary on same host??
    yes its possible and i have done it many times within the same machine.
    For yours confusion about spfile ,i agree document recommend you to use spfile which is for DG broker handling if you go with DG borker in future only.
    There is no concern spfile using is an integral step for primary and standby database implementation you can go with pfile but good is use spfile.Anyhow you always keep pfile on that basis you created spfile,i said you make an entry within pfile then mount yours standby database with this pfile or you can create spfile from this pfile after adding these parameter within pfile,i said cause you might be adding this parmeter from SQL prompt.
    1. logs are not getting transfered(even i configure listener using net manager)
    2.logs are not getting archived at standby diectory.
    3.'ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION' NEVER COMPLETE ITS RECOVERY
    4. when tried to open database it always note it 'always' said system datafile is not from sufficiently old backup.
    5.i tried 'alter database recover managed standby database camncel' also.Read yours alert log file and paste the latest log here..
