I have not had any WUs resent that were aborted by my wingman since mid April (if ever).

Will these be "Deleted by Server" without points given? I saw someone had alot of these in February.

Today, 9 June 2020, I see one of my wingmen aborted over 500 WUs. I would have aborted mine too but it is at 20 hours so I will let it finish on the slim chance I might get points for it.

I took a break for about a month but I still have 42 WUs "Validation Pending", most are from March to April.

Please resend WUs as soon as possible after being aborted or error out or are invalid.

The main problem seems to be too many "in progress" work units. I have 11 valid and 73 pending.
Where are they? Lost in a black hole?

The project should shorten the deadline and limit the downloads. Some people are downloading way more than they can handle.
Maybe it is a BOINC scheduler problem, but the Admin should limit it somehow.

Jim1348 - I looked at 16 of your pending WUs, 12 of them your wingman aborted. You might have gotten dozens of WUs with that wingman, sorry!!

I am going to finish the 2 I have left and come back after my pending receive their points.

Thanks for checking. I will slug it out for a while longer, but will eventually have to do the same thing.

Hmmmm. Usually it's good practice to abort tasks when moving between projects, so that the project knows that the task will not be completed and can re-allocate it. QuChem is the only project I know whtat doesn't appear to support this.

I'll PM damotbe about it.

I don't believe it is a real problem. Project server will resend aborted/errored WUs at the end of this batch.

@damotbe could answer better than me.


Anyway

Why has server not sent them yet to 3rd wingman after 10 days? I have the same problem.

I don't know... It's the official code that manage this part.

The completion of the batches is long... I left the default behavior. I don't quite understand the current logic, but I can't change it efficiently.

damotbe's PM also said much the same as Luigi mentioned. It is expected that the aborted units will be re-sent at the end of this batch. As such, I'd hope that you will receive credit for them at some point in the future ...

Finally server has started resends for my old inconclusive workunits. :)
