These mini-batches seem to be a real mixture. EAS 24 and EAS 29 have been mentioned my new task below looks like EAS 25 batch 1011

I have received and started an WIN EAS 25 from what appears to be a batch sequence of 1011. Just past 4% and moving along.

Les,

It has been a few more years and there are still just under 20,000 invisible and probably old tasks hanging around ... Based on Active applications and tasks in progress vs total tasks in progress from the Server Status page ....

Can you bump an email to Glenn Carver and see what he thinks ?

Thank you

The Server Status page shows 52271 Tasks in progress but if I add the Tasks by Application at the bottom of the page that totals to 32344. The difference is 19,927 invisible Tasks ... ???

Suggestions anyone ?

Well since the powers above fixed Credit Export on September 08 credits have been exported daily not weekly. AND they have been consistent.

Our Thanks and congratulations for a Fix and upgrade all rolled into one.

Well it has been I think 7 days. Is the script going to be set to run once a week again now that we are back up and running on Credit ?

Thanks

Unless CPDN is exporting to a different location the time stamps above show that CPDN is not exporting Credit Stat's Daily or even Weekly. Most Projects Export Daily and the information contained is updated on a time line set up by those who write the Scripts.


Correct. My guess is that it wont be started again till the issue with stats having doubled is resolved.


Dave it has been another six weeks and we are now past 114 days without an export of stat's. I know that you have suspected that everything is hinging on the internal credit problem and it may be. But the amount of time that has passed is getting a little silly and is now someone should be slightly embarrassed.

Richard thank you for your diligence in researching the history and issues involved in our credit scheme. I can only imagine as each piece unfolded you were wondering "and what else will we find". You and Glenn make a pretty darn good team and now have the Creds as a can do pair.

Once they turn export on there may be questions but your thought pattern is solid.

Thank you again

I see you have a total credit of 15,539,788 - how does that compare with the figure before the server move?


Total credit was about 8,000,000 on 25th May. RAC was about 68,000 on 23rd, yesterday dropped to just under 5,000 then a slight increase today. On second thoughts, maybe that is just the script for RAC running again.


Dave

My account is showing total credit and average credit both increasing reflecting the Trickles that a couple of tasks are generating. But externally we are still not seeing any Export data. Is that what Richard is working on now ?

Well my slowest machine after 4 back to back failures is now 33 minutes into a task and running it by all appearances. It has not trickled yet but it is early. My other system that has a task in progress has done 3 trickles and is still happy.

I have three Windows 10 systems two are failing every task and one is chugging along working happily on a task. Age wise it is the girl in the middle. The other two systems are either slower or faster and all are similar 4 processor systems with the same version of BOINC and Win 10.

When the answer is finally figured out we will probably all shake our heads.

Well it has been more days and while we don't know for sure if the credit script is ever being run one thing we do know is that Stat's are not being exported. Here is a snapshot of the export files with time stamps.

Looking forward to it. Which app would that be?
Weather at Home Windows tasks.


Will they still be just for older versions of Windows? The Applications page states that they are for Windows 2000 - Windows 8.


As far as the Tasks will run on all versions of Windows after Windows 2000 including Win 10 and Win 11.

Since this is the tread where we discussed this the last time that we had a Credit Export problem ... I will bring it back here.

It appears The Credit Stat's are not being Exported on a regular basis again. Here are the current time stamps of the data last exported,
