Hi Johnfelipe,
I assume you mean upgrading WhiteCore here :)

To upgrade if you build from source, once the compilation has completed, all you need to do is to replace the existing 'bin' folder in your running instance with the newly compiled 'bin' folder

You do the following...

• Rename the existing 'bin' folder in your configured WhiteCoreSim instance - i.e.'bin_old'
• From your build setup folder, copt the newly compiled 'bein' folder from the (build) WhiteCoreSim folder
  • i.e. (Build)/WhiteCoreSim/bin --> (Configured) WhiteCoreSim/bin
• Restart and you will be running the new code using the existing config, regions, database etc

There is also an auto upgrade process in place but this is not yet fully operational (work in progress)
