Message 54898 - Posted: 9 Oct 2016, 20:20:45 UTC

Hi folks,

This wah2_eu25 model finished successfully on 7th October, all zips are uploaded, trickles sent and present on the web, and task reported as finished (according to logs). Nevertheless, 2 days later it still has a status "in progress" on the web. Any ideas why it is like that and whether I can do something to fix it?

Cheers

I've had a couple like that, including this wah2_eu25, for which the log showed all the correct uploads and the reporting exchange. I assumed that something was waiting server-side to arrive in the right place but it never seems to have happened.

I wonder whether there is a script cleaning these ghosts (as well as few other type of ghosts)? Then we can see actually how many are in progress and not just ghosts. But I guess this is for the wish list section.

I think the number of “ghosts” is probably quite high. Some caused by equipment failure like hard drive crashes, other by people who just lose interest in the project and uninstall Boinc without aborting the WU’s on their computer first. These dead WU’s just sit and wait for their deadlines to arrive. Shorter deadlines would help as the deadlines on most CP projects is about 11 months.

Jim,
one of my ghosts is with a deadline July 2023 (yes 2023) from a computer long gone. Two are linked to a computer that does not crunch and I have no longer access to abort. And the last is the wah_eu25 I mentioned - probably server side issue. 4 ghosts from me only and I can't do anything - perhaps few can.

Before this thread goes too far off on a tangent, (or any other sort of transport :) ), the scheduler has been restarted.
Has this made a difference to those models "not reporting"?
(It may require a Retry to find out.)

Les,
my wah2_eu25 reported on 7th. So I could only hit Projects>CPDN>Update, no Retry though. Am I getting it right?

Hi Bernard

That's want we need to know.
It's "reported", but the server doesn't show this.
So, plane B. (Whatever that is.)

PS
In the previous post, I meant Update, not Retry. <sigh>

edit 2
And just to be sure that I've got this right, I mean "Do an Update now", as the scheduler was restarted a few hours ago.

Next thought:

Has this task also disappeared from the Tasks tab?
If the "Reporting" went OK at your end, then it should have, along with all of the entries about it in the client_state.xml file.

So an Update may not do anything.
But I can't think of anything else to try.
The project people may need to try a few things.

That was certainly the case for my latest of these stalled reports: everything looked fine but the server-side never caught up. No BSODs or Windows updates logged around the time - so no unexpected reboots.

The project got the Zips and the credits were awarded, so I just put it down as a server glitch, though from what other people report here it might be a little more than that ...

Hi Les,

I did hit Update right after you posted about the scheduler being restarted. May not have been clear from my previous post.

The task is no longer listed and I assume it has been gone from Tasks since 7th October. I first checked on 9th Oct.

No files left in the data directory. Client_state.xml does not have an entry about the wah2_eu25_80x6_202412.....model.

No restarts of BOINC and Win7 SP 1; BOINC version 7.6.9 (x64).

And here is what is in the log (I've deleted some checkpoints):

Hi Bernard

Thanks for that list. It confirms a few thoughts.

I sent another email a bit over an hour ago.
Now for the long wait for an answer.

Hi, this task,

http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=19976711 which completed today is still showing as in progress on the tasks page for it's computer. I have tried clicking on update but it makes no difference. Has gone from tasks list on computer, task folder gone and credit seems what I would expect.

Another puzzle which may not be solved.
There are no errors in the server logs, so no idea what went wrong.

If it happens again, please post about it.

Well I'm in the Progress of crunching wah2_eu25_b4o2_195912_12_386_010478483_2
Task progress here
(90% done) but various stat sites still haven't added my subsequent trickles (after trickle 4 (22-Sept-2016).

BOINC/CPDN show the correct in progress credit value.

Wondering if it's related somehow.

Hi Cameron

The credit scripts only run once per week these days.
News and Announcements 2: Here

And the scripts that create the Export files haven't run for a few weeks now.

Hi Cameron,

it would be interesting if such relation exist. For example, the model in the previous post finished in August, and since that external stats have been updated several times while the model has been in progress. However your current wah2_25 is still being crunched add would need to be added to the group reported here if it finishes (all zips, trickles uploaded, your BOINC software reports the task as done, it is no longer in task list, nor in data folders) but on the web it is still in progress.

As for the external sites CPDN exports credits and it hasn't been updated since 26/9 the is discussed here and we wait for a fix.
