Validation Errors in ABP Workunits

October 02, 2010

A recent modification to ABP workunit generation (bundling 10 dispersion measures into a single workunit) has caused all these new workunits to fail with validation errors. We have fixed the mistake, and have been sending out corrected ABP work since 14:20 UTC, October 2nd. In order to use and give credits for the work which (incorrectly) generated validation errors, the automatic validation of incoming results has been temporarily halted. Validation will be done manually, once per day, for (roughly) the next two weeks.
