What should be done after making changes to the dbparm.ini file?

When changes are made to the dbparm.ini file, the appropriate action to take is to restart the Vault service. The dbparm.ini file is crucial as it contains parameters that configure the behavior of the Vault, and any modifications to these settings will not take effect until the service is restarted.

Restarting the Vault service allows the system to reload the configuration file and apply any changes to the Vault environment, ensuring that it operates according to the new settings defined in the dbparm.ini file. This step is essential for the changes to be recognized and operational within the Vault.

While backing up the Vault, updating password policies, or running diagnostic checks are important maintenance tasks, they are not specifically required immediately after modifying the dbparm.ini file. Ensuring the service is restarted is the critical step that enables the changes to be enacted.
