Delivered Parameters

Use

There are INIT, SCAN, BLOCK, CLEAN, and CUST parameters, of which INIT, SCAN, BLOCK, and CLEAN parameters are passed to the external product. For more information about which parameters exist and their effect, see the documentation for the external product. The default values of the parameter configuration show all parameters. An external product usually only supports a subset of the parameters.

It is mandatory that the parameter SCANBESTEFFORT exists for every certified virus scan product. If you set this parameter to 1 , the most stringent security settings of the external product are selected. For more information about which settings these are and how they affect the performance of the product, see the documentation of the external product.

CUST parameters are used by the virus scan profiles delivered by SAP and are not forwarded as an external product. The following parameters exist:

  • CUST_CHECK_MIME_TYPE

    This parameter activates the MIME type check of the virus scanner. The virus scanner then not only checks the file extension, but uses the contents of the file to determine the file type. In this way, it can identify whether a file has been manipulated. If you set the value of this parameter to 1, the MIME types defined in the MIME Types section of the virus scan profile are passed to the external virus scanner. The virus scanner then compares the MIME type determined when checking the file with the list of entered MIME types and generates an error message if the MIME type does not match.

  • CUST_NOT_SCANNED_AS_WARNING

    Parameter that defines whether processing of the file to be checked is terminated if the return code CON_SCANRC_NOT_SCANNED is returned (default value). If the value of the parameter is 1, processing is continued. This return code is output, for example, if the file type is unknown, or the file to be checked is an encrypted archive file.

  • CUST_CLEAN

    Parameter that defines whether a repair is to be attempted using profile selection during the virus scan.

  • CUST_NO_SCANINFO

    This parameter specifies to the external virus scanners that no detailed information is desired about infections. This parameter means that less memory is used and processing is faster, but means that no detailed information about infections is supplied.

Parameters relate to each profile that contains a definition.
