Both the PAR Agent and the PrivateArk Server Central Administration console are administrative tools designed to interact with a running Vault. They provide interfaces (command-line and graphical, respectively) to dynamically modify certain server parameters, including various debug levels. This functionality is essential for troubleshooting the Vault in real-time without incurring downtime from a service restart, which would be required if editing the configuration file directly.

C. Edit DBParm.ini in a text editor.

Changes made directly to the DBParm.ini configuration file are static and only read by the Vault service upon startup; a restart is required to apply them.

D. Setup.exe

Setup.exe is the installer program used for installation, repair, or major configuration changes of the Vault software, not for adjusting operational parameters on-the-fly.

"After you edit the DBParm.ini file

you must restart the CyberArk Vault Server service for the changes to take effect." This confirms why direct editing is not a dynamic method.
