Index JVM Restart will this be sufficient ?
Hello,
Can we do cache clear restart only index JVM, after installing a hotfix( Pega recommends to do cache clear and restart) ? How necessary is it to restart all JVM’s?
Why do we have to restart all JVM’s?
Thank you, Saritha

Hi Saritha,
It depends. Clearing cache should only be done if there are specific instructions for a particular hot fix to clear any caches.
In the case of there being an update to a java class (as an example something in the Pega runtime engine) then a restart of all nodes is required because the java class loaded happens one time at startup.
In the case of there being only rules in a hot fix, then a restart should not be needed. The rule changes are propagated across the cluster and should be available on all nodes.
In the case of a mixed rules and java classes, you must also restart all nodes so that rules dependent on class updates are in sync with the loaded java classes.
Hope this helps.
