Virus Scanner Profile 
Definition
A virus scanner profile defines the virus scanner group used for a virus check. The virus scanner group defines which virus scan providers are used in the check.
Use
You can use several virus scanners consecutively in a virus check. To do this, create a reference profile and select it in another virus scanner profile.
Structure
The following parameters denote a virus scanner profile.
Parameters |
Required |
Description |
Profile Name |
Yes |
Name of the virus scanner profile. |
Description |
No |
Description of the virus scanner profile. |
Package Name |
Yes |
Java package to which the virus scanner profile belongs. The API contains functions that allow you to (de)activate all virus scanner profiles with a common identifier. |
Is Active |
No |
Specifies whether the virus scanner profile is active. If the virus scanner profile is deactivated, no virus check takes place. However, a successful check is then reported automatically. |
Is Default |
No |
One virus scanner profile only can be defined as the default profile. This default profile is used by applications if no virus scanner profile is specified in a virus scan call (Profile = null). |
Is Reference |
No |
Specifies that the virus scanner profile selected in the parameter Reference Profile is to be used as a reference profile. This means that the profile specified there is used instead of the current profile. If you activate this parameter, nothing can be selected in the parameter Scanner Group and Logical OR. This allows you to realize aliases for virus scanner profiles. |
Logical OR |
No |
Specifies whether and how logical OR operations are used. Yes: A logical OR is structured from the scanner group and reference profile (the group is used for the scan first). If the scan fails, the reference profile is then used. If this scan is successful, the entire operation counts as successful. No: An AND operation is carried out. The entire operation is only successful if both scans work (increased security but also increased effort). |
Reference Profile |
No |
You can specify another virus scanner profile as a reference profile for use with the logical OR operation (parameter Logical OR). |
Scanner Group |
No |
Virus scanner group to be used for the virus check. |
The table below shows possible combinations of parameters that are related to reference profile and logical connections.

Integration
You select a virus scanner profile in the configuration of the virus scanner service. This is used for all virus checks.
Example
Below are come example configurations for virus scanner profiles.
Example of a reference profile:
Profile Name = Company Reference
Package Name = com.sapportals.wcm.service.antivirus
Is Active =
Activated
Is Default = Activated
Is Reference = Activated
Reference Profile = McAfeeProfile
Example of a simply virus scanner profile:
Profile Name
= McAfeeProfile
Package Name =
com.sapportals.wcm.service.antivirus
Is Active =
Activated
Scanner Group = McAfeeGroup
Example of a virus scanner profile in which two virus scanner profiles are linked with OR:
Profile Name
= DoubleScanner
Package Name =
com.sapportals.wcm.service.antivirus
Is Active =
Activated
Logical OR = Yes
Reference Profile = Company Reference
Scanner Group = Symantec Group
