Do I need to reload a deployment server if I make an update to a deployment app for a universal forwarder to pick up the change?

[splunkn]

Assume I have all my folders distributed to Universal Forwarders under Repository location of my Deployment server.

Team1 -- App A - Serverclass A
Team2 -- AppB - Serverclass B

If am going to change some conf under App A and leave it as such without reloading deploy server. I want to know if in the next upcoming phoneHomeInterval my updated App A is going to be picked up by my UF automatically. Does it really need reload? and if so, what is the exact purpose of reload or phoneHomeInterval?

Thanks

ehh. No the UF won't pickup de change the next phoneHomeInterval.
If you don't reload the deployment-sever, it doesn't "know" the app has changed. (it has to genarate a new hash)
