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.

By default, each SAP application that integrates a virus scan provides a virus scan profile. The names of these virus scan profiles is constructed as follows /<Name of the package of the application>/<Name of the function>.

If you want to create your own virus scan profiles, use the customer namespaces.
