I've Been getting "no such task" when attempting to look at any finished WU's.

Is the DB doing a crash & burn??

Tasks are only kept for usually 24 hours after it has been validated. It is completely normal for a "recent" task to disappear.

yes, that's true, but I can't find anything from today or yesterday ... maybe it's just my old eyes.

I believe that's because the replica database is off line right now.

Replica DB is now back online.....but about 41 hours behind and catching back up slowly.

Yes! That would make a LOT of sense ...

I'd say slowly alright...for each 10 minute interval the number of seconds behind reduces by about 1000 (16.67 minutes). At this rate it will catch up by the time the database goes down for maint tomorrow.

I'm thinking We may If We're lucky have a short outage(I hope), Otherwise who knows how long It could last...

I'm in the same boat as EdwardPF, maybe with the old eyes bit......but its pretty clear that the user WU list pages have not gotten new data for something like 24+ hours. There is *older* stuff still there, but I'm showing no uploads recorded and no new work having been issued since mid 3/7, and here we are entering 3/9 (UTC). Some of the uploads that are not there were just uploaded minutes before looking (by virtue of button abuse!!). Sorry, with a new i7 online since the weekend I'm being a credit hound to see what it can do.....

Anyway, hopefully the replica db thing is whats going on here, and soon the old history will become evident to us (and boincstats, etc......)

I don't know the flow well enough to understand why the WU's are not visible in the primary (non-replica) db, but that's ok.

Anytime you look at a workunit or list of workunits, it is pulled from the replica to lighten the load on the primary.

When the replica is behind, it will not show work that you have recently uploaded or downloaded until it catches up to where we are now.

Ahhhh, thank you.

Had to look it up, but I drove thru Golden Valley on a overnight trip to the big city of Laughlin once back about 5 years ago (from Scottsdale via Kingman). Was a bit surprised by a hail/snow storm will crossing that range between Kingman and Laughlin (and this was not winter...).

Although I have not ventured into WU, check my Davis unit here:

We're a bit wet here recently.......

back to the old http errors little wus I expected timewise no vaders down again

Replica Database is now back online. Should be updated just in time for today's outage. Looks like another wait after.

Hmm, something's not right since the outage. Still getting the Scheduler request failed: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data) messages on various attempts, but also getting No Work Available messages, even though there's plnety of work ready to go and not much network traffic.

Take a look at the Problems thread, top sticky.

Yep, but it seems to have become worse since the outage.

Before the outage i might get a couple of the messages every now and then, but things were still happening with no real delay. Now, those messages are the norm, and contacting the scheduler & getting work is much less frequent- it's taking a lot of attempts.
And the network traffic is way down on what you'd expect it to be after an outage, and considerably down on what it was before the outage.

I stopped and then restarted Boinc 6.10.36(XP x64) prior to 4:30pm PST and I've seen the no headers no data statement only 3 times in the messages section of Boinc, After 7:20pm I've not seen It once and My PC has requested and successfully downloaded new WU's, So I don't see a problem here on My PC and It may be the server was just busy those 3 times, possibly.

Something's still not right- looking at the network traffic the inbound is much higher than it normally is, and the outbound lower.

Half of the time I have the no headers, no data answer, the other half of the time I get:

10-Mar-10 09:07:43 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
10-Mar-10 09:07:43 SETI@home Requesting new tasks
10-Mar-10 09:07:43 SETI@home [sched_op_debug] CPU work request: 1.00 seconds; 0.67 idle CPUs
10-Mar-10 09:07:48 SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
10-Mar-10 09:07:48 SETI@home [sched_op_debug] Server version 611
10-Mar-10 09:07:48 SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available)
10-Mar-10 09:07:48 SETI@home Project requested delay of 11 seconds

So whichever message, I get no work. ;-)

Now also interesting to see is that I usually get the no headers, no data on a manual update. As long as I let BOINC handle the communications, I get the no work available message.

Edit: having posted that I miraculously get work of course. ;-)

---

Getting none of the No headers: no data messages, but now getting lots of No work available messages.
Still getting work after it re-tries a few times.

Network traffic still doesn't look right IMHO- still much more inboud traffic than the outbound would justify, probably as a result of whatever is causing the no header: no data/ no work available problem.

Also noticed that for whatever reason the assimiliators have been struggling. Usually you get a backlog after an outage, but it clears away quite quickly. But lately backlogs have been occuring & not clearing even when there hasn't been an outage.
