The reboot type can be 1, 3, or 4. The following list
provides the value for reboot types supported by System
Update:

• 3: The reboot that is required for the package to take

effect. The software distribution client will force a
reboot after all packages are installed.

• 4: The shutdown that is forced by the package.

system installs an update package with reboot type 3.
However, this parameter cannot suppress a reboot or
shutdown when packages have a reboot type 1 or 4.

folder are preserved or deleted during an upgrade or
