yes, this seems something that is still missing in the migration to the new version of Boinc: the selection of preference for projects is incomplete.

did you get the result to be sent or is the download of tasks that has problem?

hi,

this is a problem of request too large that sometimes has happened in the past and we increase the network limit for this , but it seems to happen again

Usually the project reset will help in attach again (and with the server ip changes sometimes is is the unique solution).

The transitioner now is super fast in processing a WU received, so it is strange that some WU are not validated and remain in the queue

hi,

after speeding up the DB using a special dedicated super fast SSD, now the transition log is cleared and I start again to send WU to client.

All seems normal now

thanks

In reply to Amenhotep's message of 24 Jan 2026:
Thanks..I still have tasks from the 16th that will be marked as invalid. Not downloading any more.

Is it possible to stop new WU creation ?

Unfortunately no.

The (new) WU creation is done when a received WU is processed and validated (as it is used the result as "seed"). If I stop the creation, the WU is assimilated, marked as done, and then I cannot create a new WU from a data that goes mixed in all the others.

Normally WU are generated in a independent manner, so you can stop it.
I can only block that users takes WU from the pool in case.

hi,

to prevent that credits are not gave due to out of time reached, you should considerate to don't download new tasks until the transitioner queue is empty.

Else, in case the queue did not terminate (actually it is still > on one day) fast, I could force to stop download new WU from the server, so you need to have another BOINC connected to process as backup.

We can move the DB to special super fast SSD, but before that I would like that old WU where processed in time for give credits.

Thanks

Now from the logs all seems running in good manner.

However it has to process a long queue, so it needs many hours to be in sync (else, new tasks are generated from validated WU, so expect to have very little WU available until the queue is empty)

hi,

the Transitioner is blocked for unknown reason that is being investigated.

It is the one that generate new tasks, so until it started to process, it not gives new tasks

Hi,

during the week there will be a change of server to a new better one. As all about ODLK1 is inside a virtual machine, there are no changes for clients.

The unique downside is that operation will takes around 1 hour and in that time ODLK1 will not be reachable.

Thanks

Hi,

For sure that option is saved into the Boinc DB as if you open your account from another PC you should see the selected options.

It seems me that the new the global page (https://boinc.multi-pool.info/latinsquares/prefs.php?subset=global) of preference of this version of BOINC did not expose available application as before.

I need to look at BOINC source to see what is changed and how it now expose application options.
I hope to be able to find the answer soon.
