Virus Scan for ABAP Web Services
On the provider side, you can use the Web services virus scan to scan incoming messages for viruses. Both the message payload and the message attachments are scanned for viruses at Web service runtime. If a virus infection is detected, message processing is stopped and a system error is displayed in the message monitor (transaction code SRT_MONI) and in the error log.
The virus scans are executed:
-
On the provider side, when the payload or the attachments are processed.
-
On the consumer and the provider side, when the payload or attachments are downloaded.
-
On the consumer and the provider side, when the payload or attachments are displayed in the message monitor, the payload trace monitor, the functional trace monitor, and the error log monitor.
There are no virus scans during processing of a message at consumer side. Therefore, a message might be sent out successfully, even if it cannot be displayed in the monitor because of a virus infection.
You use the virus scan interface of SAP NetWeaver.

-
Display the messages in the message monitor (transaction code SRT_MONI).
-
For the messages with system errors, check the Error Information column. This is where the information about any detected viruses is displayed. It indicates whether the virus was detected in the message payload or in an attachment.
Note that if a virus was detected, a warning is displayed if you try to download the message or an attachment. A message in which a virus was detected can not be processed any further.
-
(Optional) To download an attachment, display the message properties by double-clicking an entry in the list.
On the left hand-side, right-click the attachment and choose Download. Before the download starts, the virus scan is performed again. You can only download the attachment if no virus was detected.
-
(Optional) To display the message payload, select an entry and choose Error Log. In the error log, double-click an the entry to display the error context and choose Payload. Before the message payload is displayed, the virus scan is performed.
If the virus scan is not configured correctly or the virus scan detects an internal error, the Web service message is treated as if a virus were detected. In such a case, refer to the log of the virus scan.
