How to force a handshake for OTA updates

Okay, so to trigger a handshake I just need to have somewhere in the loop() or setup() function

Particle.disconnect(); delay(3000); Particle.connect();

and on the Particle.connect() it will do a handshake?

Currently, this is what I’m doing:

void setup() 
{
    initAll();
    takeMeasurements();
    slowClock();
    sprintf(publishString, "{\"m_min\":%d,\"m_q1\":%d,\"m_med\":%d,\"m_q3\":%d,\"m_max\":%d,\"m_soc\":%f}", m_min, m_q1, m_med, m_q3, m_max, m_soc);
    unsigned long t_now = Time.now();   // seconds since Jan 1 1970 (UTC)
    int Sleep_Duration = getSleepDelay(t_now);
    System.sleep(SLEEP_MODE_SOFTPOWEROFF, Sleep_Duration);
   
    Particle.connect();
    waitUntil(Particle.connected);
    DPRINTLN("--- setup ====================================");
}

void loop() 
{
    DPRINTLN("+++ loop *************************************");
    if (published == false)
    {
        DPRINTLN("loop branch 1; publishing");
        published = Particle.publish(EVENT_NAME, publishString, PRIVATE);
        DPRINTF("Published with return value: %d (1 means success)\n", published);
    }
    else
    {
        DPRINTLN("loop branch 2; delay, disconnect, write to eeprom, go to sleep");
        delay(DELAY_CLOUD);
        Particle.disconnect();
        unsigned long t_now = Time.now();   // seconds since Jan 1 1970 (UTC)
        int Sleep_Duration = getSleepDelay(t_now);
        DPRINTF("End of connected cycle; time read: %s\n", Time.format(Time.now(), TIME_FORMAT_DEFAULT).c_str());
        DPRINTF("Going to sleep for %d seconds\n", Sleep_Duration);
        System.sleep(SLEEP_MODE_SOFTPOWEROFF, Sleep_Duration);
    }
    DPRINTLN("--- loop *************************************");
}

Basically, you’re saying if I add into the beginning of the loop function that snippet of code of Particle.disconnect(), and Particle.connect() it will do a handshake?
