I just started yesterday a new worker PC and it submitted a few results already. On the web page called "Your Computers", that PC it shows up, with a name (T3500), average credit, total credit... The reported ID is 7800782. However if I click on the "Details" or on the "Tasks" links on that page I get the error in the title: "No such computer" or respectively "No computer with ID 7800782 found". Can anybody explain this? |

All that data is read from the Replica database server, and that server's been off line for the past couple of days. See the server status page for things like that. The guys will probably check what's wrong during the normal weekly maintenance tomorrow. Just because that database is off line, doesn't mean that work your BOINC does goes missing, or isn't returned, or that you do not get credit. All of that is still stored in the primary database. Due to the load that thousands of computers press upon a database the project rather have that all that data is read from the secondary database, because when that one goes down, the project is still up. |

I was kind of thinking the same way. Hope it will be corrected eventually. Thanks! |
