Hi BOINC community, I would like to report tasks immediately but I don't know how to write the cc_config file for it. Unfortunately, I tried to find but could not. If one of you could either write the cc_config to report tasks immediately as your reply or a link to where it is, I would appreciate it. I am looking to copy and paste it into the file. Michael |

Hi, I just wanted to say that I found what I was looking for and have the cc_config file on my computer to have tasks reported immediately. For those of you who are looking for something to copy and paste, here it is: <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately> </options> </cc_config> This is courtesy of a post on PrimeGrid.

For details of how to write your own cc_config.xml file, refer to the Wiki: Client configuration Current versions of BOINC will report tasks a maximum of 24 hours after they were completed - usually much earlier, because a need for new work prompts a server connection sooner. A change currently in testing (in version 7.2.36 and after) reduces the maximum delay to 1 hour. There are few cases where reporting more often than once per hour is important, and over-frequent reports can put BOINC project servers under strain. When the next 'recommended' version is released, you might consider upgrading to that, and removing your 'immediate' flag: see if that is adequate for your needs. |

As far as I know setting the immediately flag also involves you won’t get new work while reporting. |

As far as I know setting the immediately flag also involves you won’t get new work while reporting. Not by conscious design. You request new work when you need new work - but yes, the chances that that will exactly coincide with a finished task completing uploading are pretty low. So, you'll probably end up making at least twice as many demands on project servers (all the projects you're attached to - you can't set this for individual projects) as you needed to before. |
