Hi all,

How to delete host specific preferences which BAM! sends to my PC?

I changed global prefs for home venue in my BAM! account but when I update my BOINC Manager it get host specific prefs every time.

File acct_mgr_reply.xml contains next lines:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<acct_mgr_reply>
 <name>BOINCstatsBAM!</name>
 <version>2.2.2</version>
 <server>www3</server>

...

<global_preferences>

<host_specific/>
 <source_project>http://bam.boincstats.com/</source_project>
 <mod_time>1349344663</mod_time>

...

 </global_preferences>
 <host_venue></host_venue>

</acct_mgr_reply>

Thanks

How updating preferences works between BAM!, BOINC Projects and BOINC clients?

I still have the problem with updating prefs.

I change prefs here (in BAM! Work preferences page) but not all projects updated with that preferences. All my hosts receives old obsolete prefs from such projects (i.e. WUProp etc). So I need manually update my hosts to receive latest prefs from projects that has changed prefs (i.e. Einstein). But when I try update a host from BAM! it write in the log that it receives host specific prefs and global_prefs.xml does not contain prefs for all venues, only host_specific.

Can somebody explain how this all works ???
