Changes are not saved when you add an inspection engine

If your changes are not saved when you add an inspection engine, check that the parameters are valid.

Symptoms

When you add an inspection engine, the new settings remain for a few minutes and then disappear.

Causes

There is an error in one or more parameter values with either the new inspection engine or a different inspection engine in the S-TAP configuration file guard_tap.ini.

Environment

The Guardium collector user interface is affected.

Resolving the problem

Check that every parameter that must be set for the inspection engine is set to a valid value. For example, some database types require that you set db_install_dir to the path of the installation directory on the server. However, for other database types, this parameter must not be set or must be set to NULL. Check the specific requirements for your database type in the S-TAP Help Book and make sure that everything is correctly set.
