This morning, FINALLY, I was successful in merging my old computers!!!!! It seems that the server software version is updated now, the options of the \"computers on this account\" are similar to that of the SETI project.. Thanks for resolving this :)
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Merging computers (Message 31519) Posted 28 Nov 2007 by old_user134877 Post: I was having the same problem (cannot merge computers) on the Rosetta@home project; they upgraded the BOINC server side code and I successfully merged my computers @Rosetta, and other users were successful :) See this thread: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta//forum_thread.php?id=3569 I don\'t have any idea of how the server software is done, but they had the same issue of the merge function and now (for me) is all ok :)

Get to the list of your computers from that account page; click All hosts to see all the records. Go to each computer in turn. Maybe you\'ll be given the option to delete or merge some of them. This is actually how I try to merge hosts. BTW, an Admin from the Rosetta project told me that the SETI project is a sort of \"testbed\" for new features, so they now have a \"new merge function\", which seems working better than the previous one, and they will be upgrading the server software when they can. So it seems the problem is the server software.. Maybe we have hust to wait that each project admin upgrades the software :)

(win2000/winxp). The hosts that are running SETI and CPDN are the same, but the web interface of SETI let me merge the hosts, CPDN don\'t

6) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Merging computers (Message 30570) Posted 19 Sep 2007 by old_user134877 Post: I\'ve never done those strange things with projects. The worst thing I have done seems to be this: changed OS and BOINC version. I can tell you that the web interface of the SETI project has \"forgiven my mistake\" letting me merge the hosts, but CPDN and Rosetta don\'t. If you look at the thread I\'ve opened in the Rosetta forum, they are talking about a new web interface for the BOINC project that hasn\'t these problems. So, IMHO, since CPDN is now a BOINC project, I think this is only a matter of upgrading the server software, if there is time to do it, it should be done. All IMHO, of course.

Well, I know there is so little time in this world :( I wanted to signal this thing, I was thinking the merge function not working were some BOINC problems that the people of SETI have solved. Thanks for your answers and good work! :)
8) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Merging computers (Message 30535) Posted 17 Sep 2007 by old_user134877 Post: You\'re saying that your merges worked on Seti even with different descriptions of the same computer? Exactly. Different description such as the new [mmx sse sse2 3dnow etc etc] and even different operating systems, the old being windows 2000 and the new windows xp. I don\'t see any duplicate host on my SETI account. I have also an account in Rosetta, but in that case I have no luck, I can\'t merge hosts. I opened this thread to signal the problem to the Rosetta people http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=3569
9) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Merging computers (Message 30522) Posted 16 Sep 2007 by old_user134877 Post: Oh.. I understand.. I thought some people of the project\'s servers were reading this forum.. I posted this request bevause I am participating in SETI@home, and in that case all the merge were successful, even with new/old versions of BOINC and even with different operating systems! (win2000/winxp). Yes if I look at hosts active in the past 30 days I see mi active hosts, but in BOINCstats I still see these \"ghosts\" that don\'t want to go away :(
10) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Merging computers (Message 30518) Posted 16 Sep 2007 by old_user134877 Post: Hi, I have 3 active computers crunching workunits now. But in my account I can see 6 hosts. I can\'t merge none of these host each other. In particular, I would like to merge hosts 743416 with 501288, and 758569 with 304572, but the web interface doesn\'t let me do it, perhaps because of the different operating system (windows xp now / windows 2000 in the old hosts). Can somebody of the staff do this \"manual\" merge?
