Message 1301 - Posted: 20 Aug 2004, 1:39:15 UTC

Hello,

I have a work unit with the status shown below. Am I wasting my time by processing this unit, or is this just some harmless anomaly? I guess it\'s that exit status that has me concerned.

Server state In Progress
Outcome Unknown
Client state Downloaded
Exit status -185 (0xffffff47)

Also, is there a way to get a WU thrown back into the heap so that it will get worked on? When I first loaded the 4.02 client for CPDN, I forgot to change my startup file and it reloaded the Seti@home gui and deleted my forst WU and I had to download another.

Error -185 is #define ERR_RESULT_START ...

Are you sure this unit is still being worked on?

(btw, go away, you cannot have rank 226, I have it .. ;))

Not only is it still being worked, it's trickling twice a day.

Hmmm... That's a good question. With the other BOINC projects, a WU will sit in purgatory until the deadline is reached, then added back to the pool to be sent out.

I wonder if CPDN will operate the same way? Perhaps if a WU isn't sending trickles, it can be re-assimilated after a certain length of time?

The exit status -185 is also discussed in this <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=188">thread</a>.
