    Hi @Akashkumar Parmar,

    There is a guardtap.ini, just like other platforms, that can be modified on the local system.

    It's recommended that you provision a user and create datasource connections to the ibm-i systems.  There are two custom tables (DB2 for i S-TAP Configuration, DB2 for i S-TAP Status) that you can populate that allow you to manage the stap from the Guardium appliance. Then there are reports named the same.  When you right click on the STAP from these reports it will invoke the api and allow you to manage/stop/start the staps.

    The documentation is here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMPHH_11.1.0/com.ibm.guardium.doc.stap/stap/t_istap_configure.html
