When changes to the configuration take effect

Every operation that changes the configuration of a PATROL Agent also changes the data and index configuration files and the variables in the agent's memory. The new variables take effect immediately. Such changes, however, do not affect variables that must be acted upon at startup.

The [expand] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
