Putting changes to the omaconfig.xml file into effect

[MarkusWeick]

Hi experienced administrators,

I am working my way through the SAS9 Platform administration fast track course notes (790 well readably pages, downloaded this week, prepared date 04Nov2021). On the pages 3-96 and 4-94 I find two different "Correct Answers" for the same question ("pause" on one page, "restart"  on the other page):

So my question now is, which is the correct "Correct Answer"?

Best

The omaconfig.xml file is read when the Metadata Server starts. Pausing the server would not trigger this file to be read.

"When you change any option in omaconfig.xml, you must stop and restart the metadata server for the change to take effect."
