When a restartable Universal Connector command is initiated, it is either an initial instance or a restarted instance of a command ID.
The RESTART option is specified on the command line with parameter -restart. RESTART specifies whether or not the Universal Connector command instance is requesting a restart of a previous command ID. Possible RESTART values are yes, no, or auto.

Misunderstanding the auto restart behavior described above can potentially have serious consequences. For this reason, the ALLOW_AUTO_RESTART lets you allow or disallow the use of auto restart. You can make this specification in the Universal Connector configuration file and override it on the command line.
