[edit] General

Message Type: Warning Message

The BOINC Client Software is not able to parse the Master File that was received, and thus cannot obtain the list of Schedulers for the Project.

This is likely to be as a result of the BOINC Client Software receiving a corrupt Master File and the operation to retry retrieving the master file will commence at the next communication interval.

Other cases exist where the Project is ended and the Scheduler information embedded within the Master File is removed. This is the case with most of the messages related to Pirates@Home.

                                   56 minutes, and 9 seconds

Line-By-Line Explanation

  • Master file parse failed
Parsing of the Master Page failed.
The cause of the failure was the lack of the Scheduler information on the Master Page.
This Message indicates that we will use the Exponential Back-Off Mechanism to calculate a time interval to wait before attempting to make another try to download the Master Page from the Project's Web Server.

[edit] Too Many Backoffs - Fetching Master File

2005-06-26 23:46:04 [Pirates@Home] Too many backoffs - fetching master file
2005-06-26 23:46:05 [Pirates@Home] Deferring communication with project for 2 days, 16 hours,
                                   17 minutes, and 48 seconds

Line-By-Line Explanation

We are going to do a Scheduler RPC to obtain the Master File from the Project's Web Site.
  • Master file parse failed
The Master File failed to parse for one or more reasons.
Because of the number of times we tried to work with the Master Page exceeds the error bounds, we will obtain a fresh copy after the time required for the Exponential Back-Off has expired.
And now we wait for a brief span of time, I mean, heck, it is only 2 days ...
