Boinc Task .093/History/Reported/Status Question

[D.A. Pinniger]

I have a History / Reported Status  Qestion.
I notice some of the History Reported Work Units Reported: OK  have an
asterisk as Reported: OK *
What is the meannig of the asterisk?
I see no reference to it in the manual.

Thank you

Dave

Fred is on holiday and may be slow to answer, so I'll try:

That was a change introduced in version 0.91

Changed: History: Simplified the internal routines (HistoryItem CString -> char *), for more stability.
Changed: History: (u) Last seen in upload, now *.

The History only updates periodically (typically every 30 seconds).  If a WU was in the process of uploading at the last update and is "missing" at the next update, it is assumed to have uploaded and reported in the intervening period.  A reasonable assumption, else the BOINC client just lost the result, in which case the project server should download it again.  Hence the Status Reported OK* -- before 0.91 it was Reported OK(u).

Best wishes.
