Hi,
The difference in the results might happen because of the way how the
results are propagated in SFT "server". Without going into technical
details it means, that the new report page (lcg-sft.cern.ch) needs
from few seconds to several minutes (?) to get the newest results
especially when a lot of results are coming into the system (which
happens every three hours just after new series of tests is
submitted). It can be sometimes a bit longer probably because of
temporary network problems.
The old URL for SFT report, although it works, shouldn't be used
because of reliability and scalability reasons. lcg-sft.cern.ch is in
fact an alias that points to the machine which is currently used for
all "reads" whereas lxb2001 is the machine which normally should be
used only internally by SFT for "writes" which means for publishing
new results.
I hope my explanation will help.
