Hmmm, 6 month job, last of the 6 months reported complete 3.5 days ago but the job itself has not closed.

I think this needs someone with access to the server.

email sent.

Hello,

Not as of late Friday 16th. I will restart the VMware VM that task is running on over the weekend and see if that makes a difference. I am catching up on a couple of VB tasks at the moment.

I'm running a hadcm3s from batch 900 on a plain vanilla MacBook Air.
It has 2 more zips to finish and upload.
Then we'll be in a better position to work this out.

OK, my task finished, reported, and is showing Success.

Are any of the people who reported the original problem still having it?

I've also had issues with successfully completed tasks that were acknowledged by the server, but not labeled as "SUCCESS" on the task page.

This thread was where it was discussed earlier. It appears to have something to do with the task reporting when the server is very busy, and it somehow fails to assign the task as a SUCCESS in the database.

Yes, this one is not showing success.

Still not showing as completed on the task list. Another task on the same machine has completed this afternoon and is showing as complete.

A long while ago, for reasons I no longer remember, I used to fiddle with things a bit to get them going again.

This involves making a copy, better yet several, of client_state.xml while BOINC was stopped.

Then I found the place where BOINC was keeping track of what it was up to with each model, which is (was) a series of numbers, and changing it so that BOINC thought the model was at an earlier stage.
e.g. Just to before model was "reported".
When restarted, BOINC would check this, move to the next step, (reporting), and things would move on.

Tricky enough when one only has one project running, with one or two models.
Probably far too daunting with multiple projects.

Many thanks for the info. Think to leave it like that, beeing happy that Linux works almost well.

greetings from Luxembourg

What if instead of exiting the model in VB/VM which does cause problems, we instead save the machine state? I have been experimenting for the last four days and it has so far caused no problem. Another advantage, on restart we do not have to start from the last trickle. I do not know exactly, any feedback?

Makes sense to me - the equivalent of suspend or hibernation in a machine that is not using virtualisation. - That has never lost me a task compared with shutting down and re-starting which loses me between one in ten and one in twenty tasks on average when I do it.

This task is stilll showing as in progress although it has completed. I did look at the client state file and there was no trace of the task (!).

Hi folks,

I have this one successfully finished but still In progress on the web https://www.cpdn.org/result.php?resultid=22089752
