Defining Scanner Groups 

Use

A scanner group combines multiple virus scanners of the same type. You require the groups to specify virus scan profiles later.

For information about which configuration parameters are required or supported by the product that you use, see the documentation for the product.

SAP does not deliver any scanner groups.
