Configuration of the Virus Scan Interface 

You can use the virus scan interface to include external virus scanners in the SAP system to increase the security of your system. In this way, you can use a high-performance integration solution to scan documents that are being processed by applications for viruses. This applies both to applications delivered by SAP and to your own customer developments, such as data transfer across networks or when exchanging documents using interfaces.

The interface consists of two parts: an external part for the certified anti-virus products of the various vendors and an internal part, with which you can integrate the virus scan functions into your own applications.

A list of the certified products for the interface (VSI) is available in the SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/securitypartners (see also SAP Note 786179).
