Virus Scan Server as an Application-Server-Starter  

Use

With this use of the Virus Scan Server, your approach depends on whether the external product is compatible with the processor architecture of the SAP application server.

If this is the case, all required components are in the working directory of the SAP Web AS kernel on one host. The Virus Scan Server is included in the standard system. This means that you only have to ensure that the prerequisites for the operation of the application-server-starter are fulfilled.

If this is not the case, create a separate instance directory with the prefix V in the current SAP instance path /usr/sap/<instance name>. The storage for a Virus Scan Server in a separate instance directory, for example, for instance R11 with instance number 02, would be: /usr/sap/R11/V02/exe.

You can then use the CCMS to start it from this directory.
