# Upgrading the Barracuda Order Adapter

This topic describes how to upgrade the Barracuda Order Adapter.

## Upgrading the adapter

To upgrade the Barracuda Order Adapter using the Caplin Deployment Framework, follow the instructions below:

1. Copy the new Barracuda Order Adapter blade archive to the `<framework_root>/kits` directory
2. From the root directory of your Deployment Framework, run the command below to deploy the new adapter over the old adapter:

   ```
   ./dfw deploy BarracudaOrderAdapter
   ```
3. Manually update the configuration override files in the `<framework-root>/global_config/overrides/BarracudaOrderAdapter/etc` directory with any configuration changes introduced by the new version of the adapter.

   **📌 NOTE**\
   The Deployment Framework deploys a blade’s configuration files under the `global_config/overrides` directory only when the blade is installed, not when the blade is upgraded. When you upgrade a Caplin Platform Blade, the Deployment Framework will remind you to compare the configuration files under the `global_config/overrides` directory with the configuration files in the latest version of the blade.

+
To compare configuration files between versions of a blade, extract the installation files for the previous version and the new version of the Barracuda Order Adapter to separate directories, and use the `diff` utility to identify changes to the override files in the directory `<adapter-blade-root>/overrides/BarracudaOrderAdapter/etc`.
