Intelligent Update Manager

To access the Intelligent Update Manager
  • From the
    Build
     menu, click
    Intelligent Update Manager
    .
When intelligent updates are enabled, the Intelligent Update Manager dialog box displays a list of target snapshots after the initial compilation. Snapshots are copies of application versions taken after a download. Set the number of historical snapshots saved by the Intelligent Update Manager using the Intelligent Update Options dialog box. When the maximum number of historical snapshots is exceeded, the oldest snapshot is deleted. Protect snapshots. Protected snapshots are not included in the maximum number of historical snapshots. Also delete snapshots.

Unless specified otherwise, the newest snapshot is set as the current target snapshot. The current target snapshot has a gray background and is the topmost item in the list. A snapshot is necessary for intelligent updates to function properly.
TIP: Obtain application version information from the
TIC Version Checker
 or from the
Diagnostic Tool
.
The
Intelligent Update Manager
 compares the most recently compiled application with the target snapshot version currently running on the target and attempts to match data points and values between both. The
Intelligent Update Manager
generates the list of variable values to transfer and the device loads these values when performing an update. The
Intelligent Update Manager
 runs each time an application is updated (compiled and downloaded) requiring intelligent updates.
