Hey,

I am new to Rosetta as of a few days ago! I was noticing that in my user account that there is a different cross project ID listed compared to what is show in the other projects that I run (Seti, CPDN, and Predictor).

I was wondering why this was and if there was anyway to get them all to show the same thing?

[edit] i should probably mention that they are all registered with the same email address[/edit]


thanks in advance.

It takes several things for the CPID to line up.

1) You must be signed up with the same email address including case. The more recent server software translates to lower case on store, so if you used a mixed case address, it will not match.

2) You must have a path from project server to host to project server that covers all projects (the simplest method is to have a single computer with all projects attached). A couple of examples: Project A is attached to computer 1, and project B is attached to computer 2. If this is the entire setup, then Project A and Project B will never have the same CPID. Example 2: Project A and project B are attached to computer 1, project B and project C are attached to computer 2. In this case, the CPIDs should eventually match through project B.

3) There must be sufficient project contacts to get the CPID changed at all projects that will change. It can take 2 or 3 for each project.

4) The project must publish stats.

5) The stats site must pick up the stats.

6) The stats site must publish the stats.

Note: There is a known problem in the case where projects A and B are attached to computer 1, and B and C are attached to computer 2. If projects A and C have earlier join dates than B, then the system will never stabilize (B will switch back and forth).

The only thing you can do to expedite the matter is to initiate some project contacts (the update button in the UI).

Thanks...I should have figured that you would be the one to answer the question!

Assuming that the project will be put on one computer how long does it take to update?

Thanks

I am assuming that you mean all of the projects on one computer.

I believe that the answer is 2 connections to each project that will change CPID (with the more recent clients 4.2 and later? that is only the new project - with older clients, it can be every project except the new one.) This is normally pretty quick, but can be enormous if a project is off line for an extended period (4 months is the record so far for an otherwise active project).

+

The time for the project to update the stats. Usually less than 24 hours, but can be much longer.

+

The time for the stats sites to get and publish the data (< 24 hours).

I'd just like to thank you 'VII' as this answered my own query.
