>> so do we need to restart only the engine? 
For EPICS configuration, only the engine should be fine.

For the policy file, you don't need to restart anything. 

Hope that helps.

Got it.  I have one more question on them, so do we need to restart
only the engine? or all four services?

Is this policy file? So, in terms of policy file, we don't need to
restart the engine. Is this correct?

Thank you, always.

Best,
Han
