Re: Suddenly lots of Invalid WUs

Status changed from INVALID to TOO LATE for approximately 95% of my cases. Is it the final ?

Re: Suddenly lots of Invalid WUs

Another reason why a 24-hour deadline is anathema.

I'm looking into that. It appears that we have received 5 successful results on one of your workunits which marks the entire result as invalid. I'm going to boost the max number of success results to 7 for these and then tell it to revalidate them.

Thanks,

I have 3 completed WUs listed as Too Late, but they are still within 24 hours from my receipt of them.

Re: Suddenly lots of Invalid WUs

The server still has about 24k workunits to process. It was over 112k earlier when i started the fix. For the time being I disabled the file_deleter so that if more cleanup is needed I still have the results.

As for the too lates. The transitioner marked them as too late due to them still needing validation, BUT since the validator hasn't rechecked those workunits, it hasn't updated their status. I believe once the validator finishes the final 24k, (probably the next hour) we should have the too_late issue resolved.

Again, I am sorry about this and appreciate the members letting us know in the forums.

The root cause was a programming error on my part. I put a new check into the validator to help fix the issue from last week that was stopping the assimilator. Since I've been working on a new monitor for the load balancers in bash, I took if (0) as true. In C/C++ this is not the case... Thus, kaboom and lots of workunits marked improperly. I basically had it recheck everything from when I installed the new validator yesterday.

Note: the new monitor for the load balancer is what caught the issue with downloads and I need to comment in the forums about the work done there.

Thanks again for your patience and sorry for the issue.

Re: Suddenly lots of Invalid WUs

Just read that the Validator is back online, and checked my status.
All 25 invalid are valid now.
Thanks for the quick response and fixing the problem @uplinger.
Started my Boinc-client again with the cached WUs :)

regards.

Re: Suddenly lots of Invalid WUs

Short Update to my previous post.
just returned 3 WUs which were nearly complete before i stopped the project, and checked now after uploading the result.
All 3 are valid, so everything seems to be fine.

Thx, and greetings from Austria.
