Using StartUpdate. exe Savapi Service searches immediately for updates. In the event of errors, the application returns the Errorlevel 1 (very useful for batch files). Background Immediate updates are useful, for example, to test the settings in SAVAPI. INI . You can also control updates entirely via the SAP environment (if supported). In this case, you should set the update interval to 0. 32 Avira AntiVir Virus Scan Adapter Avira GmbH 6 ABAP-Specific Configuration This Chapter describes the Virus Scan Interface configuration for ABAP systems. The texts are taken from the SAP website. 6. 1 Setting the Virus Scan Interface In order to use the SAP Virus Scan Server, you have to observe the implementation guide (IMG) files. Follow these steps: · Defining Scanner Groups ­ Page 33 · Defining Virus Scan Servers ­ Page 35 · Defining Virus Scan Profiles ­ Page 45 · Implementing a BAdI for Virus Scanners ­ Page 50 6. 1. 1 Defining Scanner Groups A scanner group combines multiple virus scanners of the same type to allow load balancing. Since you select the virus scan server using the scanner group when maintaining the virus scan profile, you must assign each virus scan server to a scanner group. Maintain a scanner group for each product class of virus scanners that are connected to the system using the virus scan server. If you include your own virus scanners with the BAdI VSCAN_INSTANCE, create a scanner group for each implementation of your own scanner and identify these as BAdI implementations. These are divided into initialization parameters and scan parameters: · Initialization parameters are transferred to the virus scan server when it is started, and are required to be able to start the virus scan server. If you use the Business AddIn, these parameters for the method of creating the scan instance are transferred. The parameters contain, for example, the path to the virus signatures. · Scan parameters are transferred for each scan process and control the behavior of the individual request, such as yes/no for activating the scanning of macros. Type the transaction number spro (upper-left field). Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir Virus Scan Adapter 33 In the Implementation Guide, choose (IMG) SAP Web Application Server/System Administration/Virus Scan Interface: Choose the Execute option next to Define Scanner Groups. The screen Change View "Scanner Groups": Overview appears Choose New Entries. 34 Avira AntiVir Virus Scan Adapter Avira GmbH The screen New Entries: Overview of Added Entries appears. Specify the data for the scanner group (see table below). Field Scanner Group Business Add-In Notes Freely definable name of the scanner group. If this indicator is set, the program transfers the request for a virus scan instance for this scanner group to the Business Add-In VSCAN_INSTANCE, with which customers can include their own virus scanners. If this option is not set, the program searches for a suitable virus scan server among the set of virus scan servers maintained in Customizing that have this scanner group. Group Text Explanation of the scanner group. Save your entries. 6. 1. 2 Defining Virus Scan Servers The SAP Virus Scan Server is an executable program that includes virus scanners from certified vendors using an interface and provides scan services to the application servers of the system as a registered RFC server. The application server controls tasks such as starting, stopping and monitoring the virus scan server.

These can be interferences such as viruses or other software which the user generally considers as unwanted (see also Unwanted Programs). For example, mail bombs: with such a program, the victim can be attacked by thousands of emails. [. . . ]
