Unable to report and get new task

Hi after joining a few days ago and completing a few tasks I now find that I am having trouble in reporting a completed task and getting a new one even after pressing the update button. Am I doing something wrong?

Here are the messages I keep getting:-

Re: Unable to report and get new task

I see "not requesting new work" in there. In the Advanced window of BOINC (Click the View Tab, and click Advanced if not already there) choose the Projects tab at the top and make sure the Status Column does not say "Won't get new tasks" for the World Community Grid Project. If it does, click the box on the left that says "Allow New Tasks".

Also you can change your device profile under the My Grid tab, Device Manager, Device Profiles on the web page and change the "Connect To Network About Every" and change the default of .1 days to something like .5 days or 1.5 days. I have some of mine to connect every 3 days because of limited network access. it helps especially on weekends. So it has enough WUs to work through the weekend and on Monday I can connect up and report all the finished ones and download new ones.

Re: Unable to report and get new task

Almost without fail will a manual update be getting the reply not to fetch work. Regrettably the message is not different whether the project is allowed to fetch work or not (just tested and something for the developers to consider > BOINC: The Future thread).

Are there any work units listed in the Tasks Tab of BOINC's 'Advanced View' with "Ready to Report" in the status column? Can you show us more of the log before you started hitting the update button plz and would you look in the result status page to see if in fact your result was already reported.

No new tasks waiting, they usually come in before the WU has finished (20+mins)

No it hasn't reported in as it is still in BOINC manager at 100%

Re: Unable to report and get new task

So is the message in the Tasks Tab "Ready to Report" or not, though you imply it is. If not, what is the status message?

CPDN are very long running projects so if there is a very high time debt +, it wont fetch work for WCG.

Added: You can overcome and reduce the debt values by resetting the WCG project, until next CPDN is being owed lots of crunch time.

Re: Unable to report and get new task

Hi it has eventually all gone through!

23/07/2007 21:58:01|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work
23/07/2007 21:58:01|World Community Grid|Requesting 1558 seconds of new work, and reporting 1 completed tasks

23/07/2007 21:58:06|World Community Grid|Reason: requested by project
23/07/2007 21:58:08|World Community Grid|[file_xfer] Started download of file faah1943_d038n926_x2AZC_02_x2AZC.pdbqt

Thanks for your concern.

ps It appears that if one misses the automatic download then one has to wait for BOINC to restart that project before anything will happen. I usually have network activity unconnected until ready to download/report any WU's.

Re: Unable to report and get new task

Actually, hitting "update" opens the line automatically for 5 minutes on version 5.8 and up. If indeed you are off-line, you missed the call.... now the crux: A call for work is usually delayed by 5 or 10 minutes. If thus you would rely on that "update" function to open the line to report the task, the line will be closed again before you can fetch work.

I just checked thru the logs and the deferral is 5:03 minutes. The next fetch is 5:06 minutes.

23-7-2007 20:14:01|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work
23-7-2007 20:14:01|World Community Grid|Requesting 842470 seconds of new work


Another thing to ponder over if coincidence or programmed.
