Hello,

Running over my log of completed tasks, I'm seeing a couple of WUs that, almost a week after my completion, are still listed Pending (based on having not been completed by the other system assigned to that WU). Now, should the other system never complete work on that particular unit, will it ever be re-assigned to another system, or will it stay in limbo permanently? And if it should be reassigned later, how long would it be before that would occur?

I've had WU that have been pending for months. If you check back through the boards, you will occasionally see a thread about oldest WU. Sometimes it's 6 months. The WU will be reassigned if the other computer doesn't give a result within the allotted amount of time. Just pray that the next person who gets it doesn't go AWOL.

If the other host does not complete the WU and return it by the deadline date, or returns and invalid result, it is then reissued to another host. Then you wait again. If the same thing happens with the new host, it would be sent to yet another host.....etc.
So you see, things can be in pending status literally for months sometimes depending on when somebody else turns in a valid result to match up with yours.

Hi all, yup probably explains my 600+ credit total pending a day or so ago...but now things are up and running again...think that pending will go down...thanks to the tireless workers at SETI who have things going again!

Best,

There may be a bit of a delay in getting credits -- seems that there is something amiss in the astropulse work credit handling -- Matt indicated it should be resolved soon enough and will award credits retroactively if needed.

But if I understand things correctly, AP make up very few of the WUs out there. So I imagine the majority of pending will be getting their credits shortly.
