Hi all.
I might just be getting a bit inpatient but my system trickled up for the first time a few hours ago and i am yet to see the credits appear for m account. Can anyone suggest a reason for this please. IS the server experiencing a backlog or some such problem.
thanks

Credits are only updated once per day, now. It\'s done somewhere between 8-Noon UTC, lately.

Although no credits are granted yet, you still can see your trickles at http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=5293476.

By the way, I could see that quite a few models on your account had an error (0x0). I hope this is o.k. now.

yeah for some reason my computer kept rejecting them but not telling the server or something, i went to my account to find that i had about7 active WUs but only 1 functioning so i disconnected completely to let the server know it wasnt going to get the WUs from me so it could redistribute them. This latest WU seems to be running well though

i just checked the link you gave and it says i requested no credit? is this ok/

Well, the link above was the \"Trickle-link\", the following is the \"result-link\": http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=5293476. Here you can also see the credits granted for your current model.

BTW, don\'t be afraid about credits (and sometimes trickles) being late at your account. Three weeks ago the trickle server was down for almost one week, but finally everything was fine again. As far as I got to know from the boards no trickles and credits have been \"forgotten\" of CPDN (and BBC CCE) ever - and CPDN is running for a couple of years now.

BTW II: Perhaps you want to set \"no new work\" in the projects-tab of BOINC. This will avoid downloading models out of control, if you experience a problem.

Also, since CPDN WUs run for a very long time, are very computer-intensive, and do sometimes crash without apparent reason, I strongly recommend to do regular backups - e.g. once a week. With this, if something happens, you can always restore the backup and restart the WU from that point.

To take a usable backup:
1) create a BOINC_Backup folder somewhere, but not under the Program Files\\BOINC folder. If the BOINC_Backup folder already exists from previous backups, delete all contents.
2) Stop the CPDN application from the BOINC Manager via Activity -> Suspend (5.2.13 Commands -> Suspend) and exit the BOINC Manager.
3) Drag and drop the the entire contents of Program Files\\BOINC to the BOINC_Backup folder.

Step 2 is very important, as the files must be in a consistent state in order to restart after a restore.

The drag-and-drop copy can take a long time, especially when the WU is quite advanced in its processing. (It takes me about 15 minutes near the end of a sulfur model).

I also run the disk defragmenter before the drag-and-drop copy, but this is of course completely optional.
