Hello,

I just succesfully finished this work unit yesterday, but the My Results page says it has failed:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=1306507
It did indeed fail some weeks ago, but I continued from a backup and everything ran perfectly. Why is the wu status not updated then? Will the scientists be able to use it, or is it lost?

Regards,
Kenneth

Hi Ken,

Those of us who have ever had to run from a backup see the same thing. The WU status says failed, because it writes the status on receipt of the fatal error message from the client, but the science was uploaded and credits accumulated. The status will not change on successful completion. Carl has assured us that those who use the results do not determine a WU status from the web pages.

Thanks for replying, I\'m happy that the result is useful, though all those failures certainly do not look good on my results page ;-)
