Older stats issue

[CanoeBeyond]

Hi Bok,

I've been having a conversation with the SIMAP admins over here:

http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsim...0&p=8271#p8271

They seem to think that they're updating their stats data 4 times a day but if so it sure isn't getting picked up anywhere.

Your mission if you choose to accept it:

Log on to the SIMAP site and give them a heads up as to what might be the problem.

Thanks in advance for checking it out:

hmm, well it's definitely not working correctly if they are..I check the tables.xml file for a change to the last_update_time field. It's a very low bandwidth check. If it's changed I'll download the files and process on the next iteration of my script running. It means that I should pick up and process any updated stats certainly no more than an hour after they are published and usually faster.

Have a look at some crude output I produce here - that's fairly odd in that you see 3 updates on the 13th but usually just one on any other day. Looking through my logfiles show that the timestamp is certainly not being updated..

I would ask them to check if perhaps they are running the exports but somehow the timestamp is not being updated.

If you look at http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/stats/ you can see there is certainly no updated files for today (as of writing this mail anyway) - all files are timestamped with the 16th - so, given they are in germany, where it's well past the middle of the day...

Thanks Bok! This turned out to be the problem:

Yes, we had a mix up here on our side:
The stats are (re)generated 4 times a day,
the db_dump for the export only once every 24h.

FDCPS Team and Project stats are not updating. Looks like since the 12th. When you don't have too much to do or just propping up your feet maybe give them a check. Thanks

hmm, that's a problem on the other side a it happens - which is now out of my control.. I'll ping them and try and get it sorted..

Thanks Bok! I didn't know if anyone knew or not.

[Bok]

nope, didn't know. so for that

Should be fixed soon I think, I wrote the original sql script that's failing now, but the database has evolved since then and is now on a server I don't have access to, but it's a minor change to correct it and I've let the relevant people know..
