Topic 197428

I have a Completed (100%) Einstein Task which will not Upload, even when I do a Manual Update. It shows Progress as 100% but shows Status as 'Waiting To Run'
instead of Completed. And it shows ----- (ie Zero) in the Estimated Time Remaining Column.

I have tried Restarts, Shutdowns, Manual Updates, Suspending & Resuming ...
.. Nothing Works.
Any Suggestions?

It is not complete yet, even if it does say 100%, try and suspend other tasks to get it to run, it might be a while before it actually completes.
(Einstein has had a few apps that do extra computation after 100%)

Not sure what you mean by

Not sure what you mean by "restart" but just in case I will add this.......

I have had this happen a few times and at first I tried suspending and resuming and updating and then I decided to just reboot the computer and every time that worked here.

(It was a completely different story with the T4T tasks in the past but a couple years ago I first figured that out over there so I tried it here)

I know this, it looks like

I know this, it looks like that:

The wu stays there for a couple of days, not touched by BM. But short before expiering BM finishes this task.
The other way is to do it manually like claggy has posted.
There might be a 'misunderstanding' between BM and the wu when no remaining time is reported.

I'm not sure if I have


I'm not sure if I have Suspended All Other Projects, but I have a feeling that I have done. However, I'll try that (again) anyway.
Also, as I mentioned, it actually shows No Remaining Time in the Estimated Remaining Time Column: So how could it Not Be Finished?
This is the First Time Ever that This has ever happened to me.

By 'RESTART' I was referring

By 'RESTART' I was referring to 'Restarting (Rebooting) My Computer'. I have tried Warm Reboots (Restarts), and Cold Reboots (Logging Off and Shutting Down, and Rebooting) ..... Neither Option Worked.
All other Projects are Updating and Uploading Normally.
I'm going to assume Claggy's Suspicion (that it may not be actually finished), even though it says 100% Complete in The Status Column, and Try Suspending All Other Projects and see if that works, But as I mentioned, it shows Zero Time Remaining in the 'Estimated Time Remaining' Column (so I can't understand that it wouldn't be Finished if Both Columns say that it is.

FGRP3 (Gamma-Ray Pulsar Search #3) should be the only one, and this irritating behavior should be fixed with app version 1.11.

If the tasks affected are of different type, then there something else wrong.

Yes, it looks like that,


Yes, it looks like that, except, obviously, the Task Description is different.
It's been there for about 3-4 Days I think.
I have Tried Several Manual Updates, without Success, but I'm going to Suspend All Other Projects (even though I have a feeling that I may have already tried it), and see if that Restarts It, and hopefully it will Finish The Task, if it apparently Is Not Yet Complete, even though it says 100% Complete in STATUS Column, and Zero Remaining Time in Estimated Remaining Time Column.

Mine ran for almost 5 minutes past the 100% mark and that was on an AMD FX6300 6 core AMD cpu.

The Task Name is ...

The Task Name is ...
h1_0794.60_S6Directed__S6CasAf40a_795.55Hz_117_1

However, I can't seem to locate any listing of The (above) Task in any Copies of My Saved Event Logs, of it being Downloaded to my Computer: I have checked back as far as February 19th.
Elapsed Time is 55h:49m:23s and Deadline is 9th March 2014 at 3h:28m:45s (which is AEST / GMT+11 due to Daylight Saving ... Standard Time would be GMT+10).

I'm going to try and Restart It (assuming that it may have not actually finished due to a possible misunderstading between the BOINC MANAGER and The Task or the Einstein Server.
However, in the meantime, for your evaluation, below is a Copy/Paste of the Section of The Event Log that contains The Most Recent Successful Uploads for EINSTEIN.
Take Note that the Task Name is the same as The Task In Question, except for the Italic Part of it.
The 3 Entries at the bottom of The List give No Mention of any task Decription/Name.

I'm not talking about 'Minutes'..... I'm talking about Several days.
