Background documentation Operating the Self-Starter  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You can operate the self-starter as a service under Microsoft Windows NT or as a daemon under UNIX.

Operation as a Service

You can use the Microsoft Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) to install the virus scan server as a service. You can install up to 100 services of this type (numbered from 00 to 99).

Operating the virus scan server as a service means that operating system resources such as the Event Log are available to your for monitoring. You can also use the SCM to restart the virus scan server service after a termination. You can also use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to remotely monitor and control the installed service.

Example

Installation of a service:

vscan_rfc install -cfg <Drive:>\vsa\vscan_rfc.xml

Installation of additional services (VSCAN_<xx>):

vscan_rfc install -cfg <Drive:>\vsa\vscan_rfc.xml -srvc 1

Note

You must specify the local configuration file (option -cfg). The service is only installed after successful initialization of the virus scan adapter and checking of the SAP gateway.

Operation as a Daemon

You can start the virus scan server as a daemon directly at the operation system start.

Example

Starting a daemon:

vscan_rfc -cfg /vsa/vscan_rfc.xml –daemon

You can monitor the daemon with operating system resources (CRONTAB, INITTAB).
