It won't disconnect any sessions but it will clear all form and workflow caches which will result in slowness to the first user to pull up any form that has not been used since the recache while the midtier reloads the form and object definitions from the server. Additionally if you have prefetching in use, it will likely put a performance load on the server in the short term while it reaches that content. So short answer is shouldn't cause any dropped connections or errors, but will cause short term slowness to the users while the midtier is having to recache the forms and objects.

Do you all consider a flush of the mid tier cache to be unintrusive - something that can be done during production hours? Or is it something that should be done off-hours? On our server I don't notice performance issues in using it, and in what little testing I've done, user sessions seem to be uninterrupted. (I'm not sure about floating users on the web, though - if there's anything to consider there.) I'm on ARS 7.5 patch 007 with mid tier 7.5 patch 007 with apache/tomcat.
