Ready to Report
From Unofficial BOINC Wiki
[edit] General
This status indicator shows that a Result has finished and that all related data has been uploaded to the Data Server. This is the final status that will show in the BOINC Manager. After the Result has been reported it will be deleted from the local Host.
Results will be reported automatically at the following triggers:
- New work is needed. Completed work will be reported at the same time.
- The Deadline is less than 24 hours away.
- The Result is less than the Work Buffer setting from it's Deadline (New for v5.4.xx)
- The Result has been in the Ready to Report status for 24 hours. (New for v5.10.14)
- The Result has been in the Ready to Report status longer than the Work Buffer setting. (Removed in v5.10.14 and later)
- If "net_status.have_sporadic_connection" will report immediately. (Not sure, but maybe something for dialup-users?)
- If a trickle is uploaded to the server, completed work will be reported at the same time (for projects with partial job progress reporting)
When the Ready To Report is successfully transmitted a brief 'Acknowledgement' will show on the task record Status colomn entry of the BOINC Manager after which the record is cleared from the client and it's local tracking files (except the message logs).
- Note: There is a bug in the 4.4x Versions of the BOINC Client Software that causes Results to be reported immediately after the status changes to Ready to Report.
