For server updates, we have not ever required a server reboot. Don’t want to say never, but I can’t think of any updates to the server software that would require a server reboot.

With server updates there are a small number of scenarios they should be aware of:

• Most updates consist of just copying in new files on the server. While these updates can be performed while the application is in use, this is not a good practice. It is best to pick a time when the application will not be in use for a short period of time. After the update, it is also a good practice to open the Modeler, Update Server Settings for the latest required Client version, and Deploy the application.
