Yes. It looks like the user update got hosed this time which threw off the team stats as they don't include the missing user data from the second half of the day. Presumably we have some server times messed up again though that's not so evident this time around. What ever it is, this is really starting to get old. I mean, whoever is working on the server should be able to easily confirm they haven't messed up the server time yet again.

Ha - you think we treat you guys like mushrooms? Think about how the silly servers treat us........
I'm on vacation - have been since Wednesday. I'm the first to notice this issue on the tech team so I am fixing (we all peak in at various times - even while on vacation). The automated alert for issues with the stats run won't go out for another 30-40 minutes. This issue is different then the one mid last week. This time somehow a seriously large negative credit was awarded to a user. It overflowed some of the arithmetic during the ETL process and screwed up the run. I'm clearing out a few things and then will re-run the stats. That should resolve the issue. We actually fear anyone taking vacation - trouble always occurs when someone takes a bit of time off...... I'm not particular fond of Mr Murphy. |

Well, something definitely "weird" is going on - as, as far as I can see, all yesterdays' totals ARE included in the Users statistics (i.e., the fact that I'd gotten a Gold badge via the midday stats on Sunday is still there, plus some added time onto the HCC totals). Then, when the Status update had finished, the time was saying 24/08/09 00:06:03 (with an update of +1 UTC hr - i.e., my timezone), then, when I went back, it was stating the date as the 23rd, with +25 UTC time... As I say though, the stats (as far as I can see), do look correct....
----------------------------------------Edit, Thanks for taking an occasional "peak" at things (and taking the necessary actions to resolve this issue). Yes, unfortunately Mr. Murphy has an old habit of knowing when we go on holiday....  [Edit 1 times, last edit by gb009761 at Aug 24, 2009 2:01:52 AM] |

Once again, thank you Kevin!
----------------------------------------Personally, I prefer to hate the law of averages. You go long enough without any trouble and you really start to worry about your six. Perhaps you should post a warning when you leave on vacation just so everyone can "brace for impact". You gotta love IBM's idea of vacation too. I've known folks to go on a supposedly nice vacation in Hawaii and spend half of it online from their hotel room. It's not fair you guys can't even enjoy some time off. I guess the fact that it's not a bum time on a server this time around should be good news. |

Looks MUCH better now Kevin! Thanks again for fixing this. Part of me wonders how someone could get negative credit, especially big enough to cause an overflow. The other part of me just wants to assume the nuclear position. Think I'll go with the latter and hope for the law of averages turning again for you guys.

While the details appear to be correct once you drill down into them, the coverpage for team points is goofy:

Did anyone notice that the WCG has not refreshed this evening's update? Anyone?
----------------------------------------Or the fact that the WCG has yet to even convert those old UD Points to Boinc credit yet? Yikes!  Gotta wonder ...  Makes we wonder ... Stairway to heaven Lyrics Led Zeppelin There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misleading Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it makes me wonder There's a feeling I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking and it makes me wonder really makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forest will echo with laughter GUITAR SOLO If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean from the May Queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, Ooh, it makes me wonder Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady, can't you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind GUITAR SOLO And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all is one and one is all, yeah To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying the stairway to heaven Let's crunch on!  ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by Johnny Cool at Sep 7, 2010 2:15:15 AM] |

Now the conversion from those ancient UD Points to Boinc Credit ..... I have to admire your persistence JC.  It's like an insurance company. If you wait long enough to pay the claimants, most of them will die and you don't have to pay off at all. It will never happen.   |

The reason that this change hasn't been done is because unfortunately, we don't get to simply divide by 7 and be done. Many of credit database columns are integers at the user/team/country/global. Actually, only at the device level are the credits real numbers instead of integers. This is due to the old UD system. In order to be accurate, we need to convert all of these integers into real numbers. This means exporting out the database tables, modify the columns, and reloading. It also means changing the website code to handle them as real numbers rather than integers. Although this is all well defined and doable, it will take a couple of weeks to do and we haven't been able to get to it as of yet.
