Do know that the best way to keep the same CPID all over your PCs is to use one PC in your farm to attach to all possible projects out there. It doesn't need to fetch work from the projects, attaching is enough. (and then abort the work you inevitably get).

Or so I am told. ;-)

But yeah, make it a ticket. Clear, concise and constructed.


Yeah, I have been told that too. :-)

I have 14 hosts connected to all projects. The 15th I have been attaching for 3 days and still don't have them all in yet.

The real reason I think that don't work is that it doesn't matter because the Hosts have multiple CPIDs in it and they are controlling the CPIDs at the Projects. I started out with 4 hosts in Feb 2005 and added 17 hosts (2 of which crashed) that's why I'm at 15 and attached to about 90 projects give or take a few. As I attached to project and added hosts, I made sure they are and were on all hosts.

I tried everything I can think of to correct the problem with no luck. I just filled out a ticket and waiting.

Thanks

Bill

Edited:

I thought I filled out a ticket but I can find it now. It said a time for received. and assigned to ronm and now I can't find it.

Hi Bill,

Best register to Trac and make it a new ticket, as an Enhancement. That's the more direct way into the developer's backyard.

Albeit that to have the CPIDs be the same all over the place, it apparently needs the email address, used nickname, used URL and country to be the same. I still have 4 CPIDs simply because I use a different URL at a couple of projects, while my nickname wasn't the same everywhere either.

So a button in BOINC Manager won't make much of a difference, if you ask me. But it never hurts to ask. :-)


Ageless,

Thanks a lot. My username, password, email address, URL, country, zip code. team and team founder were the same throughout all projects and all of the previous 14 are connected to all the projects too. I've been having this problem for a long time and tried everything to stop my hosts from changing the CPIDs at the project every a different one connects to it. I just attached a new host to all the projects one at a time and used the host with my main CPID to change to it before attaching. Well that did work either because I stll ended up with 4 CPIDs in the new node. I think one of the others connected between attaching. It doesn't seem like anything is controlling the CPIDs except the hosts in my situation. That's whay I think if I could change my hosts CPID Hash by synchronizing to the one of my main CPID it would get all my hosts in line.

I'm off to try there.

Thanks Again,

Bill

Edited: I'm already registed there. So I should make a new ticket then?

Hi Ageless,

Is this where I could make a wish list request for a Synchronize CPID Feature in the Tools Tab in the BOINCManager for the problem of Multiple CPIDs (Which sewsaws project CPIDs) in my hosts for about the past year and a half? Something like at BOINCStats for synchronizing retired projects.

If not, Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Bill
