2) Message boards : ATLAS application : Task ended with 'Validate error'

Hello,

I found out that two Atlas tasks on two different hosts ended up with 'Validate error'. Log doesn't show any obvious errors.
What is the cause of it?

Hello,

It seems like I have similar issues as Sid. Except I had only one error indicating connection issues. Would this be enough for WU to be reported as broken?
