I\'ve completed a task that show a completion of 99.999% with only 4 seconds remaining. It\'s hung right there, and I don\'t know how to get it to completion. Any thoughts will surely be appreciated. Thanks!

What do its graphics look like? Normal colours or monochrome blue for temperature?

What do its graphics look like? Normal colours or monochrome blue for temperature?

The colors are normal, but there is a note at the bottom left of the graphics that says \"post-processing\". It\'s been like this since its obvious completion which was a few days ago. Any ideas?

Dear theboyd:

It does seem that your WU is stuck in the Post Processing phase. I don’t know if you can save it or not, but there may be a way out. Do you have a recent backup? I always make one a few (real) hours before a WU is going to finish just in case there is trouble at the upload. If you can’t shake your WU loose you may be able to do a restore from a backup and run it to the end again.

Have a look in the directory projects\\climateprediction.net\\hadsm3fub_kaf8_005978295\\dataout under your BOINC data directory. What are the most recent file names starting with \"kaf8ca.\" and ending (and not ending) with \".x3.nc\"?

Thank you for your response to my query. Unfortunately, I haven\'t a B/U to fall back upon. So, that eliminates that prospect. Again, thanks:

Within \\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net I\'m unable to find any file with a name of hadsm3fub_kaf8_005978295. With its absence, am I to assume that this file has been deleted after its uploading?

It should still be there because the model hasn\'t yet sent its final file and trickle to the server. Can you find a whole folder with the name of this model?

If you can\'t find it after looking again, you could try the following as a final extreme attempt. These HADSM models don\'t like to be disturbed during post-processing. You may have inadvertently caused the post-processing to get stuck by exiting from BOINC or turning off the computer. Sometimes a disturbance of this type, instead of making the post-processing get stuck, will send the model back to the beginning of the whole model or the beginning of the phase it had been finishing.

As there seems no hope now of making the p-processing finish off, and if you can\'t use Thyme Lawn\'s suggestions, you could try a measure of last resort. Disturb the p-processing now by exiting completely from BOINC. Restart BOINC. If the model goes back to the very beginning, give it up as a very unfortunate bad job and abort it. If it goes back to the beginning of phase 3, let it process phase 3 again. If it\'s still stuck at the same place, exit from BOINC a few more times to see if you can send the model back.

But before trying this, first look again for what Thyme Lawn wants.

Oops.

I\'d like to thank those folks who offered assistance with my situation. After starting and stopping the particular task a few times, I guess that I jarred loose a hung-up post-processing module of this program. At any rate, it showed 100% completion, and then uploaded after a while. I only hope that it arrived where it was suppose to go with all data intact. If not, I\'m not sure that anything is left on my computer to fall back upon and regroup. So, I guess this situation has been resolved. Again, thanks, and all the best: theboyd

Well done! Your model has produced all its graphs which means all its data was received by the server.

You could try one of the new, shortish HadAM3P models which are usually better-behaved. You may need to select them in your account. There\'s a description of them in the forum News thread, top of Number Crunching.

That\' super. Now I can breathe again. Thanks all, and take care: theboyd
