@Unixchick
You're right. I also have lots of validated tasks, that normally should have been cleared from the result list, several days ago. |

Unixchick and GrumpySwede;
I've had a look at my backlog of validated tasks (using the old API) and it appears that most of them have the delete_state set to FILE_DELETE_DONE as one would expect when a result is assimilated. However, this implies that the purge system is not running at present, since once units are marked thus they should go away at the next purge, not hang around for several days! Unfortunately, the new API doesn't expose values such as the file delete state, and the old API can only be used on one's own results so I can't check Unixchick's example -- however, I'm fairly sure as to what I'd find... :-( Ah, well; perhaps someone at WCG might comment on this... Cheers - Al. |

I'm posting to this thread again, in hopes that cyclops will see this and mention it to the team. My WU I posted a link to yesterday is still there. Al gave some good info. I'm worried that the DB purge isn't working.

I'm worried that the DB purge isn't working. I'm currently trying to script something to give some solid data about the state of my returned, validated, results as at present -- once I've got something "short and to the point" I'm going to pop it in one of the News forum threads (unless old results mysteriously starts to disappear in the meantime...)Cheers - Al. |

Cheers - Al. Al., I wish I could help you in some way. If it would give you some sort of idea … I would show - if I would be me  - page 370, the oldest, of my validated results.Each page normally contains 15 workunits, this last page contains only 14 items. $ wcgstats -w -sV -a0 -m0 -AS Adri [Edit 2 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Feb 24, 2023 6:59:14 PM] |

Pretty similar here. I have a little over 2400 completed results with the oldest one completed Feb. 6, 2023 at 19:08:16 UTC still on the list. Most of them are marked valid with about 337 pending validation, which is just a little above normal.

Hi all, we updated the Comprehensive Bug List thread to include the validations issues, though it doesn't include much new information. As always, updates on this situation will be posted when we have some news to share.

Cyclops - I don't think you stated the problem correctly. It isn't that WUs are pending validation, but that verified valid WUs aren't being cleared from the database.

Well, the problem is still also that WU's that should be validated, either because both/all wingmen have finished them, or in the case of OPNG, (since they can be "Minimum Quorum: 1 Replication: 1"), are still sitting in Pending Validation for a long time.
----------------------------------------As of now, I have many OPNG tasks, that are still waiting for the validator to do its thing, So, it's multiple problems here. First the one where tasks that should be validated, waits a long time for the validator, and then the problem with tasks that should be purged, sits for many days without being purged. I know this thread is mostly about MCM1, but the problem is also with OPNG WU's. Since I do not do OPN1 just now, I can't say if the validator problem also applies to OPN1.

Since I do not do OPN1 just now, I can't say if the validator problem also applies to OPN1. A quick look through some of my results suggests _no_. The OPN1 tasks appear to be validating pretty quickly, and the ones that are pending validation are all waiting on the wingman to return first.  |
