The tpm promote-connector command should be used after performing a tpm update with the --no-connectors option.

When using the --no-connectors option with, running connectors are not stopped and restarted with the latest configuration or application updates, which would otherwise interrupt active applications using the connector.

The tpm promote-connector stops and restarts the configured Connector services on all configured hosts using the currently active configuration, thus allowing you to elect to perform the restart at a convenient time to cause minimal disruption:

shell> tpm promote-connector

NOTE  >> Command successfully completed

The tpm command will use connector graceful-stop 30 followed by connector start when upgrading versions. If that command fails then a regular connector stop is run. This behavior is also applied when using tools/tpm update --replace-release.
