Hi all,
After sending the last report on 1.6.06 no more work is done. I checked the scheduler logs and found that:

"User has another host with same CPID" - what is that?
Any idea what can i do?

CPID is the identification number for your machine within the EAH database. In this case it is 586023, also called your Host#. The server seems to think that this number has been doubled up for some reason. I've checked on the website and there is only one machine showing in your list of computers.
As you apparently have no work in progress, you can afford to try a few things without having to worry about losing work. You could try detaching and then reattaching your computer to see if that fixes things. If you get reattached with a different CPID you can "merge" the old ID into the new one and then everything may be back to normal. I've never seen this problem before so I don't really know. Good work for tracking down the relevant entries in the scheduler logs. As a matter of interest, does your BOINC Manager think there is any work actually on your machine?
Try detaching and report back what happens. If necessary, there are other things we can try.
Cheers,

Gary.

I've done this but it doesn't helps me. Now I found the following entries in the log

Why "sending delay request 60.000000" ? Is this a request from server or from client?
Additional I post my local log entries for this request:

Here comes allways "not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks". What means this.

RE: I've done this but it
)
This is a routine message sent from the server to the client simply asking the client to wait 60 seconds before making any further requests to the server. Its purpose is to prevent overloading the server. It stops a client from making rapid fire repeated requests, particularly in some error type scenario.
It means exactly what it says :).
You initiated the exchange (rather than the BOINC client) by hitting the "Update" button in BOINC Manager. (Requested by user)
The BOINC client is stating that there were no outstanding work requests or reporting requests that it needed to make.
Now the real question is "Why does your client think that it doesn't need more work"?
One possible reason is that you might have work requests disabled in BOINC manager. If you look on the projects tab in BOINC Manager, does it say "Won't get new tasks" or something like that against the E@H project? It's hard to be specific without a lot more information from you.
Here are a couple of observations about situations you should look into. Your first message has certain information under your name at the left which gives your userID as 185089. On the website, your computer has a host# of 586023. Your second message has the same name but a new userID of 200627. Your host# is now 672428. So you have at least two separate accounts in the system. Neither host has any work but the host in your older account has a credit history so at some stage you were crunching successfully. Perhaps you might like to not use your most recent account and try to get the older one working properly.
To allow us to see what is going on, you need to post a lot more of the message log than you did last time. I would like you to completely exit BOINC and then restart it. Once activity finishes, can you cut and paste the entire contents of BOINC Manager's messages tab from the very first entry after the restart. This should be about 30-50 lines and should tell us exactly what is going on. Of course you wont need to do this if your problem turns out to be just that you had work requests disabled as I mentioned previously.
Cheers,
Gary.
Did you download one of the
)
Did you download one of the optimized applications? If so, you need to stop BOINC, delete the app_info.xml file, then start up BOINC. You will get new work, then.
I think, the Einstein server
)
I think, the Einstein server sends a specific message for the case that none of the applications referred to by app_info.xml matches the WUs that the server wants to send, so it's probably not caused by this.
It might be a debit issue. If some other project has very high debits, it can stop downloads for all other projects.
@Niemz : what happens, if you pause all projects except for Einstein? (should be only CPDN I guess)
________________________
p.s.: It might be something worse, like a damaged client_state.xml or a wrong account ID. Last host contact has been 2006-06-09 and not 2006-06-21 like it's listed in Niemz' last log.
Maybe you could check the entry in account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml and compare it to the account ID that you received by email. Don't post it here, it needs to be kept private - just compare them.

OK. I reconnected and have the old computer (host# of 586023) again. But noe I found the former entry in the server logs (User has another host with same CPID.)

This is from the WIKI

We are in no need of work from this project.
BOINC Wiki
RE: ... 28.06.2006

do you also run a WU from 'BBC Climate Change Experiment'?
Then you are possibly in 'EDF-Mode' (Earliest Deadline First, see this Wiki entry).
That means your BOINC client calculated an estimated duration for your WUs (duration_correction_factor * resource_share * time your comouter is switched on and BOINC is running * WU duration)
Especially a low resource_share for 'BBC CCE' can lead to the situation that BOINC client 'thinks' your computer will not finish that WU in time!
Therefore no new WUs from either other project are accepted.
Try to 'pause' the 'BBC CCE' WU and retry requesting E@H WUs.

RE: do you also run a WU

Hi Udo,
I believe you are right. My Client is connected to BBC and Einstein with 50% resource shares each. The BBC WU has a Deadline at 13.05.2007 and the estimated time is 1915:28:00 h. With 8 hours calculating and 5 days a week it's almost impossible to finish in time.
In the past I run the Boinc only when no user activitys. Now I run it for ever. Lets see what happens.
Thanks
Falko
