Hi,

When I check the last line "apply changes to database only" from "no"
to "yes", I will need to save this change and them reboot the RS...
right ?
Well... to reboot the RS, what kind of command I need to use ??

Sorry, for this questions, but is the first time that I do this kind
of work and I don´t have anybody to give me this information!!

Tks,

Regards

Eduardo
