Updating IQAN Program Without Losing Modified Parameters
Description
Hi,
I would like to ask about the best way to update a program on a machine that already has an existing IQAN application installed, especially in cases where some parameters have been modified from their default values.
If we upload a new program with the same project ID:
- Will it overwrite the existing settings (i.e., reset parameters to default)?
- Or will the current parameter values be preserved?
I want to make sure we avoid unintentionally resetting user-defined or tuned parameters during an update.
Thanks in advance!

Before you push a new program, you can use IQANrun to pull a settings file. Pushing an updated version of the old file should not reset settings, but if it does, you can push the settings file after updating, and it will return the settings to how they were before, except any settings that were not in the original file. You can also take a clone before and after the update and do a file compare to see what differences occurred.
It is important to note, that any parameters that are in an adjust group will remain through a program update, while those not in an adjust group will change to match the new program pushed.
