Virus Scan Provider as an Application-Server-Starter

Use

The virus scan provider defines either a virus scan adapter or a virus scan server.

  • Virus Scan Adapter

    The vendor's virus scan adapter must match the architecture of the application server. If you are using it under Sun Solaris 9, the adapter must therefore be 64 bit compatible, since the SAP application server only supports 64 bit for this operating system.

    No other dependencies exist for other components, so that you do not require vscan_rfc.exe, xmlXXd.dll, sapcppXX.dll, or librfc32.dll.

  • Virus Scan Server

    If you use the Virus Scan Server, all required components are in the working directory of the SAP NetWeaver AS kernel on one host. The Virus Scan Server is included in the standard system. This means that you only have to ensure that the prerequisites for the operation of the application-server-starter are fulfilled.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the external anti-virus product and the associated Virus Scan Adapter in accordance with the instructions provided by the vendor.

  • The kernel directory contains the following components:

    • vscan_rfc.exe (Microsoft Windows NT) or vscan_rfc (UNIX)

    • The current RFC library or LIBRFC (see SAP Note 413708 Information published on SAP site)

    • sapcpp<XX>.dll (Microsoft Windows NT) or sapcpp<XX>.<shared ext.> (UNIX), where XX stands for the version and follows the release

    • xml<XX>d.dll (Microsoft Windows NT) or xml<XX>d<shared ext> (UNIX), where XX stands for the version
