We upgraded the server software - if WU distribution, reporting, etc. is confirmed to work correctly, on Monday we will update the web pages.

As a first consequence of the upgrade, you should be receiving "notifications" in your BOINC clients.

this is a major update, please report any problem in the forum.

Server cannot open database.

Other machine i have downloaded new wu's (first beta and later normal).

I can upload, report, and download tasks, but it seems to me that the stats aren't updating correctly (my overall RAC, and my hosts' RAC is dropping)
And I'm getting this "Server can't open database" message too.

I'm investigating, but the server message seems a transient overload error (hopefully).

successfully uploaded and validated a "long" wu, however, no wu downloading

Minor changes in credit scheme, no problem. However I am missing the column "granted credit" as it would be difficult to expain to new member time bonus system.

No downloading long wu's (not availabel) but also not downloading normally wu's even when prerefence allows it.

Good luck!

Scott: probably it was a short offline interval, I was fixing stuff at that time

Nenym: quite possible. which page are you referring to?

Ftpd: there are few LONG WUs right now (should not be related to the server change, I'll check). But normal WUs should download correctly.

still not getting any download, just "no work sent"

is there possibly a server setting that only allows 1 wu at a time?

i am crunching a wu now, about 4 hours to go

In two minutes the number of unsent long wus dropped to 21.
I've received 2. I need one more.... :)

We will put many more long task probably by the end of the week.

That's not a host, that's a user (no access except by the user in question). Try hostid=31329.

You are right, Richard, sorry. The "claimed credit" column - not granted as I have written before - is missing in both pages (as in any server, upgrated to CreditNew), it's credit scheme doesn't use benchmark anymore.

I'm not getting short or long tasks right now.

server says over 3K short are available....

ACEMD2: GPU molecular dynamics 3,511 1,408 0.81 (0.04 - 10.22) 743

Edit: right as I posted one machine got a long task, another still will not get long or short tasks..

There are no long wus currently. I'm worried about the short not going out.

Concerning the credits, ill post a short explanation as soon as the thing clears up.
