Can I restart JIWA while people are using terminals?

[JuiceyBrucey]

Hi,
7.2.1 SR 16
We have about five terminals running on JIWA with operators working on them all the time.
Can I restart JIWA while people are using terminals without any loss of data such as transactions in progress etc?

What do you mean by restart Jiwa?

[JuiceyBrucey]

Sorry, I meant the JIWA API.
by going to services and restarting the JIWA API.
Cheers

It would essentially come down to what the api is doing for instance if you use web hooks there is a fall back to the client directly putting data in the message tables if necessary.

In terms of the operators it depends on how they are connecting to Jiwa i.e. through a third party application or the actual Jiwa client, if its the Jiwa client then largely yes you can restart it as it connects directly to the database itself.

Ok, will do.
Thank you.
