Deploy a new server package

Is there any risk Deploying a server package while my users are working?

Oi Robson, Como vai?

In theory, no problem. The system is supposed to allow you to deploy server packages in real time.

In practice, I avoid that like the plauge. I do all of my package deploys after or before business hours.

I agree with Greg that you should only do a full package after hours.

If it is just a small update package, it will "pause" operations for a few moments, but then everything will take right back off. After hours, not as many people will be affected by the delay.

A full server package will take longer--for me, up to 15 minutes--but everything should continue as normal after that.

I'd also recommend doing this after hours. We normally have very good luck doing update packages, but once we had a problem and ended up corrupting our server specs; we had to restore from backup. It's much easier to do such a restore after hours than during the business day!

Hi Gregg, good hearing from you. Thank You and all that answered my question.
I'll deploy this full package in next weekend without my users working for safe.
