Hello Supporter,

I have updated the Streaming engine to the newest release, after update i do not copied the old wdb files to the new created folder. Is there a possibility to merge the old wdb files with the new ones.

regards

Hi there,

To my knowledge there is not a way to merge these files. If someone else from support has an idea I am sure they will offer a solution.

Using the [patch available in Production Builds](https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-software-updates) to update Wowza should avoid this issue.
