A bit more information here is very much welcome. What options would you like to change? Do you wish to reload the datatable? Do you simply want to redraw the datatable?

Are you trying to perform a search? Do you use controls outside of the datatable that you want to initiate the reload?

Too many questions, please provide us with more insight.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot. sorry for my vague question.
i am going to perform a search in the server-side schema.i just want to change my ajax.data params to include my search keyword and then reload the dataTable.

Before:
"ajax": {
"url": "man_stucr_act.jsp",
"data": {
"act": 1
},
"dataSrc": "stucrs"
}

After:
"ajax": {
"url": "man_stucr_act.jsp",
"data": {
"act": 1,
"keyword": "search something"
},
"dataSrc": "stucrs"
}

Generally no, there is no way to change the options after initialisation. However, in the case of ajax.data - just use it as a function. The function will be evaluated at the point every Ajax request is made, so you can easily modify the parameter based on whatever criterion you need at that point in time.
