This has happened before with tasks that haven't sent trickles up. It was sorted last time but the moderator who has alerted the project people can't remember how.

The three tasks complained of are all "UK Met Office HadAM3P-HadRM3P Europe", version 7.23, issued at the end of January or very early in February this year (although they've only recently been reported as complete).

v7.23 was replaced by v7.26 on 4 February 2015, IIRC because of this very problem with missing trickles. Correcting the matter at this late stage will probably require manual intervention by the staff, but as Dave says they have been notified.

Edit - Aurel's host 1343036 has four more tasks from the same sequence, all issued on 2 February, which are still in progress and which will exhibit the same problem. It might help the staff if those tasks could be returned soon, and then the missing credit can all be sorted out in one intervention.

I assume that the credit script has not been running for the last 3 or 4 days. My RAC is dropping like a stone despite CPDN running on all 10 of the cores on my 3 machines.

If RAC is dropping like a stone, then the script is running - because (on this project) the script recalculates RAC from first principles every day, the same as credit.

More likely no new trickles are being processed, as somebody asked a couple of days ago. Today is a public holiday here, so I'm not even going to bother reporting it until tomorrow.

Your right. I should have realized that they fact that the RAC is dropping is a sign that the credit script is running, but, no new trickles are being recorded. The problem may be confined to hadam3p_anz tasks. All my cores are running ANZ�s at present. hadam3p_anz_m29h_2013_1_009739646_0, currently running and at 63% has not recorded a new trickle since April 29.

The "Shorts" have the same problem, not just the ANZs.

RAC dropped from 30th to the 3rd, it has since leveled off. I keep an eye on FREE-DC and I have not seen anyone getting credit since around the 30th.

For information about credits, read the last few posts in this thread about trickles.

I see that the credit script is running again after several days, but, the problem with missing trickles is not fixed. RAC is again dropping like a rock. Will the missing trickles ever be found? Do we need to put Scotland Yard on the case? Stay Tuned.

Must mean that they've found the problem and then re-run the scripts.

Yep, and credits have just taken a big jump when I went to look at my computers.
