I read that there were issue with the science database crashing, but not sure if that pertains to my issue.

Last night I updated to the newest version. I had three or four ready to report with three actively working, but for some reason I couldn't do a "user request" update.

I log in today and it appears that those running went through because I can see a few that were sent in from yesterday. I am just judging by the date though.

The main issue is I'm not receiving any new tasks. I just wanted to check and make sure that the issue isn't on my end.

U´r not alone, have the same problem now after the update

There are no new tasks being distributed just now - all we can hope for are the odd resends :-(

There are plenty of other projects that can use our unused CPU cycles.

something new about this ?

My work group are the same, we do not receive jobs

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html shows Results ready to send 0 and 0.

Matt Lebofsky, project scientists wrote news here:

So! All the recent headaches are due to continuing issues with the master science database. While all the data seems to be intact, there's something fundamentally wrong causing informix to keep hanging up (usually when we are continuing work on reconnecting the fragmented result tables).

During the previous recent crashes I would clean up what informix was complaining about in various error messages (always the result table indexes) but this time I'm in the process of doing a comprehensive check of everything in the database just to be sure. And, in fact, I'm seeing minor problems that I've been able to clean up thus far (once again, no loss in data - just internal bookkeeping and broken index issues).

I thought this full check would be done by now (ha ha) but it's not even close. Meanwhile we *should* be able to do Astropulse work, but the software blanking engine requires the master science database to do some integrity checks, so that is all offline as well.

There are ways to speed up such events in the future. We're working on enacting several improvements. Yes, we here are all beyond tired of our project grinding to a halt and things will change for the better.

He also wrote earlier on the 8th of April:

Hey - just so y'all know it's the science database again. This time enough is enough and I'm doing a comprehensive set of integrity checks on everything in that database before starting it up again. So no MB splitting or assimilating. Eventually some work will show up for AP splitting in the meantime...

Might be back up by the end of the work day, if not shortly after that. I did find one problem which was obscured while checking things out after previous crashes, so there's hope.

Good to know I'm not the only one that isn't receiving tasks.

And even more from Matt:

Due to recent problems we are doing a deep cleaning of one of our larger databases. This is unfortunately progressing slower than expected, and keeping us from generating new work. We might be in this state until next week.
