Virus Scanning

The software development kit for integrating external products can be downloaded from the SAP Integration & Certification Center (ICC) at http://www.sap.com/icc.

Application programs use virus scan profiles to check data for viruses. A virus scan profile contains a list of scanner groups that check a document. You can also use a virus scan profile to assign configuration parameters for the virus scanner. If you scan for viruses with this virus scan profile, the virus scanner receives the parameters.

A virus scan profile specifies steps that are to be run during a virus scan. A step is either a virus scanner, which is found using the scanner group, or a step specifies, in turn, a virus scan profile, which is then performed as part of the enclosing virus scan profile.

A virus scan is performed under the name of a virus scan profile. The system administrator can use the profile to activate or deactivate the virus scan for each component.

The component SAP_GWFND delivers a virus scan profile for OData version 4 (V4) services. By default, the virus scan profile /IWBEP/V4/ODATA_UPLOAD is inactive and not maintained. Follow the procedure described in the SAP NetWeaver documentation (Defining Virus Scan Profiles at https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/ee/50773f12f14a18e10000000a114084/content.htm) to activate the virus scan profile customizing. This change only affects new OData V4 services. The virus scan customizing for OData V2 service is still applicable.
