AArrrggg! I got the dreaded "No host found with that cpid." on host 7237635. Normally I would not care - the results show up eventually, but I'm doing the WOW competition and that box makes ~23K/day. It's the aliens, or Congress...

2 new files loaded today so far and both again have errors on the AP's plus 3 AP splitters are still doing the gang thing. :-(

Cheers.

I have sent messages to Eric, Matt, and Jeff to see if they could have a look into it. I don't recall having seen this behavior before, and they are not from a single bad recording day.

This may appear to be a silly question. Why is it a bad thing that we have so many tapes with errors in them? I am aware everything is not about credit but none of these tasks have failed in my task list. I am just trying to get an understanding of what is going on.

The errors are with the tape- these aren't errors in processing a WU. Since they are splitter errors, for all of those that come up as an error, no WUs are produced.

Given the number of errors occurring, it is most likely some sort of problem with the AP splitters. The data isn't causing the errors, the splitters are.

Hmmm.
3 AP channels done, 14 ended in error.

Looks like the MB splitters have moved on to those same tapes (looks like those 29-31 tapes may never get done), it will be interesting to see if they produce any MB errors after producing all those AP errors.

I've been burning a candle for the 31st tapes since May or April. I have hope that one day they may be split!

These tapes:
29no13aa
30au13ac
30my13ac
31au13aa
31au13ac
31mr13ae

They are from 2013, and they will not be split until all older tapes from earlier years have been split and in re-crunched. Maybe you all missed it when they said that older already crunched work, may be issued again, to be re-crunched with the newer MB V7 and AP V6.

The data sets are split in alphanumerical order. Those sets just have the disadvantage of being from the last few days of the month. So and data set with a date prior to the 29th, 30th, or 31st is done before.
Unless we have several sets of data with dates near these they may not be split for some time.
These were loaded around the same time as several other sets from 2013, but with dates near the beginning of their month. So they were split and were gone very quickly.

When it comes to the 2013 tapes, you are wrong IMO. They are deliberately being stopped from being split for the very reason I stated. Just look at 29no13aa (7 completed channels), and 30au13ac (2 completed channels) , those taped were started, but stopped from splitting more.

As I recall those were being processed before more data was added. Then after maintenance splitting resumed on the lower numbered data sets. Deliberately stopping the processing on a data set doesn't seem logical when it was already done for AP.
We both have ideas about what is going on. It is all speculation unless we have actual word from the inside.

Well at least the MB splitters havn't been throwing up errors on those files like the AP 1's did.

I´m sure i miss something, how is that possible? The data is bad for AP and Ok for MB? If is the same data. I know i´m so curious.

We'll have to see how the MB splitters cope with the whole dataset, and get through all of them with no (or only a couple of) errors.
It may have been an issue with the AP splitters, or just one of them had issues & was throwing all the errors.

It will be 4 days at least. If they follow their recent patterns of loading the new data sets after Tuesday maintenance.

Over 50 MultiBeam channels done & still no errors.
Looks like it was the AP splitter(s) having issues, not the data.

A large volume of the AP work from those data sets I am seeing end in 30/30 early exits.

Eric, Matt, and Jeff were all contacted about the situation. And at least Eric responded, so he knows about it. If the problem continues with the next AP run, I'll send the flares up again.
