Changing INSANE=TRUE in SetiQ

[IndyJaws]

What exactly will this do for me? If my queue refuses to store more than 800 WU's, will this bump it up?

 

[Poof]

Supposedly... although with at least the 1.8 version, it'll go and get the WUs anyway... after awhile....

 

[Confused]

Yes.














I emailed Ken (the maker of SetiQueue) about this a few months back. It basically turns off some of the built in checks, like to see if the max WUs has been entered at some stupendiously high amount, like those who want to queue more than 800 WUs

FWIW

Indy, are you limited to 800 WUs too? :Q

Actually some guys in white coats come to your house and give you a nice tight white jacket that is designed to protect your arms very well because it keeps them really close to your body. Also you get some good drugs

What else do you have to do besides change INSANE=TRUE to get a larger cache?

I've been resorting to cutting and pasting WUs to a different folder to keep some in reserve. Only problem doing this is those WUs are going to get very "stale".

I would like at least a 1,000 in the TS Q.

 

[Confused]

IIRC all you have to do is change INSANE=FALSE to INSANE=TRUE


If you want i can email Ken about it...again (Not got the original emails)

Yes, I guess that is all you have to do because I now have 803.

<< Indy, are you limited to 800 WUs too? :Q >>



Yep

Long outages really hurt me, since I can go through 300 WU on a good day

However, since making the change, I'm up to 807!

After admiting to SETIQ that you are insane, it would help if you edit the override max to whatever number you want it to be.

Thanks for that tip Is0s.

I'm sure at some point I would have asked, "How in the heck to you stop it?". Ha LOL

True , but you bang your head more often when they keep pushing you!

If your Q is just there for 1 user, I find it's easier to just manipulate the setting for min-max Queue size. That allows a maximum of 20 days worth at your current production levels. For multiple users however, the override min-max settings are useful because they can apply to individual users.

 

[Confused]

Max, i believe that the 800 WUs per user still applies, even when you change the min/max queue depth of the whole program.

The feature was, IIRC, implemented by Ken so that it would do some checking, and so that it stopped the queue from downloading thousands of WUs for one user if they are not needed.

[IndyJaws]

Exactly Confused. With a 230 WU/day average, with a minimun queue depth of 7 days, I should have about 1600 WU's available. It's always stopped me at 800. Changing to INSANE=TRUE has helped a little bit, but I'm only about 860.

 

[Confused]

Indy, have you tried manually changing the min/max queue depth since you changed Insane to true?

Or it *might* be that SetiQ needs a restart for it to start pulling more WUs...?

 

[IndyJaws]

I had already restarted it after changing the INSANE value. I just now stopped it, changed the min/max values, then restarted it. I'll see if that boosts the queue level.

This post is a little dated now. I've been trying to post to the DC Forum since early this morning and only just now have I had any luck.

I think ConfusedBW is mostly correct. Once before OrangeKid told me to get a change you make in the INI and other things to work you need to shut down the Q and then restart it.

A computer restart is not necessary but I've always found restarts to be helpful in many ways. So I'd reboot for the benefits that it provides but it may not be necessary to get the Q to accept the changes. Just shut it down and restart it.

Life is so rough!

j/k Indy. Go Hoosiers!

 

[IndyJaws]

LOL

 

[IndyJaws]

For anyone interested, this did solve my problem.

I just checked my queue and it appears that I now have almost 3000 WU's cached! :Q

I have the same problem.... (ya right.. I wish)


Sure glad your on our team.

Wow Indy no wonder I was having trouble getting units.

I can see it now.... this is berkley... We are fresh out of work units they are being crunched faster than our virgins can role... oops that's cigars... mean while on the front lines, Indy still is crunching wildly but has this PieDude on his a$$ pulling units almost as fast.
