Some members are having work aborted by the server

Some members may have been issued invalid work during the transition. The next time that they communicate with us, this work will be canceled.

If you are concerned that you might be running invalid work, then you should force your client to update with our servers immediately. This will either immediately cancel the work running if it is invalid, or do nothing if the work you are running is valid. You can force an update by going to the Advanced view, Projects tab, Select World Community Grid and then click on the Update button. You can see the results on the messages tab.

All clients will automatically connect to our servers within three days and resolve this issue then.

What happened is that we turned off BOINC on the servers in the old environment. However, we missed turning off a script that did file log rotation and as part of that it restarted the schedulers. About 8 hours after we exported the database from the old environment, the schedulers there turned on and clients that connected during that time would have been issued invalid work. About 4 hours after the schedulers were turned on in the old environment accidentally, we shut down the database there so after that time no more invalid work would have been issued.

We apologize to all the members who may have received this invalid work and we appreciate your patience as we work through issues that are occurring as a result of the move.
