Erich,

It seems HITS-files have been received from your tasks.

Example: https://bigpanda.cern.ch/job?pandaid=3932182243

PandaID of your last returned task today -> https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=191554464,
received at the BOINC server at 11:17:43 UTC

As you can see a 273 MB HITS-file is there with status Ready.

many thanks, Crystal Pellet, for looking into this :-)

As you can see from the stderr of the task mentioned by you: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=191554464 - the stderr definitely does NOT show a HITS file. Which is strange.

Unfortunately, I have no access to the CERN server for which you sent the link - I guess I will have to register (if this is possible).
Would be interesting to find out whether also the other finished tasks uploaded by me show HITS files there. If so, I am happy !!!

thanks again, Crystal Pellet, for your efforts. It's great to see that my chrunching was successful, although the stderr files did not show the HITS files (for whatever reason).

I then could connect with Panda (via my Facebook), but did not have enough time yet to get an overview of all the data and information there.
I'll continue exploring tomorrow.

@Crystal Pellet:

Today I took a deeper look into bigpanda, mainly trying to find a way to get more information on a given task. Which does not seem to be that easy :-(
At some point, I opened the search page: https://bigpanda.cern.ch/?mode=quicksearch
regardless of into which field I inserted the Task number from here (i.e. 191616731), or the Work Unit number (i.e. 93612472) - everytime I got "no result".

The only field that yields a result is when I put my name into "User" - after clicking on the submit button, the screen jumps to where I can see jobs (not tasks!) with a lot of data - but I could not find any way to link anything there to any of my tasks or work units.

Am I missing something, or is this simply not possible?
In short: e.g. I'd like to get all information for my task 191616731 (or the corresponding work unit 93612472).

Your comments on that would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

In the result you find a line with PandaID and taskID like from your result 191657601

2018-05-21 23:05:55 (3536): Guest Log: Starting ATLAS job. (PandaID=3935108418 taskID=14116885)

That PandaID is your Job and the taskID is the batch-number.

This info is also available when the task is still running on your machine and kept in stderr.txt in the slot-directory of your machine.

When you have the PandaID you can browse to that ID with

http://bigpanda.cern.ch/job?pandaid=3935108418

For a still running job it's usefull to discover the number of events ;-)

Thanks, Crystal Pellet, for your explanations. Works fine :-)
