-----clip from news cast front page August 26, 2004 We fixed the bogus URL bug and all servers are back up. If your cache is empty of all valid workunits and you have any of the bogus workunits, then reset the project. -----clip from news cast front page ---ENDS how do i id a bogus URL or bogus WU? thanks michael |

> how do i id a bogus URL or bogus WU? > > thanks > > michael > Ya I also wonder ??? I really don't know what to do. I have 10 WU in cache, one ready to report but no scheduler respond, Version 4 was supposed to release today, Should I continue crunching what I have or reset right away, if I don't will my curRent cache be compatible with ver 4 when it release...??? That's the problem with this project. Clear Communications. Only those who reads the board knows about the Bogus story. Those who don't won't have a clue about what they are talking about in the last news post. I guess that the word that comes more often in posts is "guess" ! -.-. --.- -.. -..- . - .-.-. -.- --... ...-- |

From what I have read...if the WU starts to download then immediatly stops, it has the wrong URL. Don |

A bogus unit is a unit that you can not download. It obtains the work unit from the scheduler, but when when the client goes to download, it it never able to. If you have a unit that never downloads, you have a bogus unit. A bogus unit is *not* a unit that can't be uploaded, or reported on. (This is probably just a temporary outage of the scheduler or something) I have a couple of bogus units, but i am not going to worry about it. When V4 client comes out, it will blow away the bogus units anyway. If you do want to get rid of the bogus units, make sure you have finished completing, uploading and reporting on any other units that are valid first, before resetting. No point blowing away perfectly good WU's. Marty |
