Update an installed factory

I have a question about how to work with a GAT project. First I created a simple GAT project. This project creates the basic folders and projects to my solution. Now I want to extend the GAT project -> build a new MSI -> all developers in the project installs the new MSI and they can all use the new functionality from the factory. When I try to do this I got some problems. The factory doesn’t work at all. Anybody got any idea how to work with the GAT like this. Is it possible? How do I do? I can’t select my new factory in the Guidance Package Manager.

Thanks for your help. /Johan

Hi Johan,

If I'm following you, what you're looking for is an "upgrade" story for solutions created with older versions of your factory. This isn't there yet on the current shipping bits of GAT, sorry.

thanks,

-Victor.

Thanks for your answer Victor. Do you know if this functionality is coming in the future?

Justto clarify my question. I have made a factory let’s call it MyFactory. I have installed it and used it to create a solution. Now I have made some updates on MyFactory. I have added some new recipes to the factory that I want everyone to use. Is there any way to update an existing factory and then use the new functionality on the created solution?

Thanks again

/Johan
