SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

The observed value processRestartNeeded = Yes indicates that a configuration change requires a restart for the new value to take effect; therefore, the flag can remain set to Yes even when no restart has yet occurred, as the system continues running with the prior runtime value until a restart is performed.

1. Note that processRestartNeeded (also referenced as proceedRestartNeeded or RESTART_REQUIRED = TRUE) signals a pending restart requirement: the change is saved but not active at runtime until a restart occurs.
2. Understand scope: typically only the related service or component must be restarted; if the change has a global scope, a broader restart may be required.
3. After performing the appropriate restart, verify that the runtime reflects the updated configuration and that the processRestartNeeded indicator is cleared or no longer applicable.
