Message 31568 - Posted: 23 Jul 2017, 18:51:32 UTC

Short time ago, on one of my PCs on which I had running 4 ATLAS and 4 CMS tasks, all these were "aborted by Project".
On the other two PCs, this was not the case.
None of the aborted tasks are being shown in my tasks list on the Webpage.

New CMS tasks were downloaded and got started, ATLAS tasks show up in the BOINC Manager as being downloaded, but the download is extremely slow and comes to a complete halt most of the time.
I checked my Internet connection, it works perfectly.

Anyone making the same experience?

Anyone making the same experience?

I had 2 ATLAS tasks running.
Looked at my system cause they should be ready meanwhile.
Those 2 were gone, but are not in my result list on the server.

This is in BOINC log:

Same here, one task is being downloaded but it just gives transient HTTP error and nothing comes down here (0 bytes downloaded after a couple of retries). Here's the one https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=152060009

The file it is trying to download is jf_e88cd5647976b8bfce8af462a99d37c5.

I have three ATLAS stuck in download ("project backoff") for a little over an hour, but none aborted thus far. Maybe they found the problem and are holding off sending new ones?

The ATLAS have all downloaded/uploaded and reported now, and I see no further problems at the moment.

Mine has downloaded also during the night.

I had also one Atlas task stuck on my other host which finished downloading after I retried it this morning. This host also had one Atlas task aborted by server (shows status "aborted, 202" on BoincTasks). This resulted in Vbox crash. It seems to run normally now.
[edit:]The aborted task is not on the server pages.

This resulted in Vbox crash...

also here, for all the tasks that were "abortet by project", the VBox crashed.

Since late night, every seems to be back to normal.

anyone any idea what the reason for the disturbance was?

No, but allow me to share this monitor page for your speculation. (Time axis is BST = UTC+1.)

Hello,

i recently had several tasks which exited with
202 (0x000000CA) EXIT_ABORTED_BY_PROJECT

For example task # 158294001

What could be the reason?

Regards, djoser.

At 10:42:36 UTC today a second replication of your task was sent to a Linux machine to run the task as a test of the ATLAS native application.
The result from that machine was returned at 11:28:45 UTC. Since your task was not started yet, it was cancelled by the server cause the result was not needed anymore.

this has started to happen to all of my atlas tasks(not cms though) lately, just a few days maybe. they abort in about a day, maybe less. one of them was also aborted while it was in progress. i see that they have been completed by other machines like Crystal Pellet pointed out.
is this normal behaviour then? nothing wrong on my end?

Cancelling task already in progress is not normal BOINC behaviour, except when done by the project administrator for reasons like bad created batches/workunits.
This is not the case here. If there are truly already running tasks aborted by the project, this would mean bad project configuration.

AFAIK there should be no changes regarding ATLAS over the last days. My PC has been happily crunching ATLAS tasks and I have a couple in progress.

(We're phasing out the legacy Sixtrack server, as announced under News, but this should not affect ATLAS tasks.)

Hi Nils,

A bit strange in my opinion is, that there are Native tasks (copies) sent out of VBox tasks in progress. Is this on purpose?

so far only one atlas task in progress has been aborted by project, but it was the only atlas task ive ran since this began. ive always been in the middle of other tasks when receiving atlas jobs and by time i finish the other tasks, the atlas tasks get aborted by project before i can start them.
what do you mean by "bad project configuration"? what should i be looking to fix/change, if im understanding you correctly?

Project configuration is done by the admins, not by clients/users, so you can't do anything about it.

guess i misunderstood your earlier posts. there is nothing wrong on my end then? you had said "this is not the case here" in response to my first post, so i was a bit confused.
