Disconnecting the negative battery terminal

What needs to be reprogrammed if the negative battery terminal is disconnected to install a tune for example?

Radio, dash display, seat, cell pairing, etc. ?

I think it was also posted that if you open your hood and close up the car. Wait till it goes to sleep and no batt disconnect is needed
