CMS Simulation error
(Message 47560)
Posted 25 Nov 2022 by mikey Post: Whatever the problem with vocms0840, it looks to be fixed now. It could be back again as all I'm getting right now are "error while computing" for every single task. The main message seems to be 'glidein exited with return value 127' but here's the Stderr file for one of my tasks: Stderr output <core_client_version>7.20.2</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> The global filename characters, * or ?, are entered incorrectly or too many global filename characters are specified.

Have I done something wrong settings-wise? Can anyone help, please? Rogerp The Server Status webpage is cached so may not be up to date. I'm not getting any either. |

Posted 29 Oct 2015 by mikey Post: If I had as many computers as you Mikey I would have got 1000 WU's I try to keep my cache small, about 3/4 of a day, to not hog all the units. I don't like it when others do it and I can't get any units so try not to do that myself. I do have a stack of pc's but they aren't the newest or fastest, together though they can chew thru some units. |

You might make that suggestion to the Boinc discussion group and they could perhaps include in the next version so ALL projects could use it. |
