1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Error on upload, will this/or did this cause a problem? (Message 6140) Posted 16 Nov 2004 by old_user1204 Post: > As long as the final trickle (phase 3, timestep 259248) went through, and > there are no "result#_[1-5].zip" files in your boinc/climateprediction.net > directory, it's probably OK. The final trickle did indeed make it and there are no result*.zip files anywhere so it looks like it's OK. Thanks for the help. I just wanted to make sure that all those months of computing made it to y'all. :)

3) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Cannot get a model to run (Message 2785) Posted 3 Sep 2004 by old_user1204 Post: <P>Looks like the model failed right out of the gate. The messages do show that it uploaded the failure results back. So in a little while your log should show boinc downloading another model to run. My question is does the new model run or does it fail in the same manner?</P> <P>Also check the stderr_um.txt file for the failed model to see if it gave any error messages. Should be in <Dir-where-BOINC-is>/projects/climateprediction.net/1pmo_000100690/stderr_um.txt, that might give a clue.</P> BCNU,<BR> Vance

5) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Disappearing run. Diagnostics? (Message 1794) Posted 26 Aug 2004 by old_user1204 Post: <P>I was running 2 runs on <B>boinc_4.05_powerpc-apple-darwin</B> on a PowerMac dual 1.25 GHz G4, 1.25 GB RAM MacOS 10.3.5. Runs started around 2004-08-25 18:54:30 for <I>00c3_300025420_0 using hadsm3 version 4.03</I> and <I>00c4_300025421_0 using hadsm3 version 4.03</I>.</P> <P>Checking after coming home today 8/26, it appears that run 00c4 has disappeared. The thing is I don\'t know what diagnostics to look for to see <B>why</B> it disappeared? The log file for that model shows...</P> <PRE> 00c4_300025421 - PH 1 TS 007633 - 10/05/1811 00:30 - H:M:S=0011:53:10 AVG= 5.61 DLT= 2.69 00c4_300025421 - PH 1 TS 007634 - 10/05/1811 01:00 - H:M:S=0011:53:23 AVG= 5.61 DLT=13.27 00c4_300025421 - PH 1 TS 007635 - 10/05/1811 01:30 - H:M:S=0011:53:25 AVG= 5.61 DLT= 1.94 00c4_300025421 - PH 1 TS 007636 - 10/05/1811 02:00 - H:M:S=0011:53:27 AVG= 5.61 DLT= 1.95 </PRE> <P>Then nothing else, no messages or errors just that run stoped reporting. Kicking in viz on that run shows a blue planet. Checking my account on the website shows no status for the 00c4 run. So 2 questions: 1) How do I determine if this was just a \"normal\" failed model or something else (like a bug)? That is, how do I diagnose this? 2) How do I get boinc to report home to y\'all about 00c4 status or will it just do that on it\'s own in time and then download a new model? </P> <P>Thanks for your time.<br> BCNU,<br> Vance</P>
