I wasn't aware of SessionManager. However, I'm not sure it will help. Generally we are installing patches on a live server that has transactions/activity going on while we patch. I'd like to know if its possible for us to do a hot patch without causing any disruption to any user. If we reload, it will cause users to lose data that they are working on.
