Java specific Configuration with SAP NetWeaver 2004(s)
and KMC

Configuration via the Visual Administrator

Please, proceed the following steps:

• Define the scanner group

• Define the Virus Scan Provider

• Define the Virus Scan Profile

4

Define the Scanner Group

A scanner group combines multiple virus scanners of the same type. You need the
Groups in order to specify virus scan profiles later. SAP does not supply any scanner
groups.

In the Visual Administrator, choose the cluster Virus Scan Provider.

If the service is not started, click the Start button (or right-click on Virus Scan
Providers and select Start)

5

Create a scanner group by pressing the New button on the tab Groups.

Specify the name of the new group (AVIRA) in the dialog box and confirm your entry
with OK.

The group names are case sensitive. You have to use the same names later in the
KMC.

6

Select the node for the newly created group.

- Activate the Default option on the Settings tab to set the group as default.

- Enter a description of the group in the Description field.

- To save you entries, press Set.

You do not have to make any configuration on the Parameters tab at this point.

7

Define a Virus Scan Provider

- Choose the cluster Virus Scan Provider in the Visual Administrator.

On the Provider tab page, select the Virus Scan Adapter node and press the New
button, to create a new virus scan adapter.

Specify the name of the new provider (AVIRA) in the dialog box and confirm your
entry with OK. The entered name is automatically saved with the prefex “VSA_”.

The names are case sensitive. You have to use the same names later in the KMC.

8

Select the node for the newly created provider.

On the Settings tab, activate the Default option, to set the provider as default.

Default: This adapter is selected if no other VSA is specified.

Name: Name of the virus scan adapter. The name entered is automatically saved

with the prefix “VSA_”.

Description: Description of the current adapter.

Group: The drop down list shows the available groups to which you can assign the

current adapter.

Init. Interval: The time interval (in hours) for the NetWeaver to end VSA and restart
it.
Values:
0 restart only when the Virus Scan Service ends/starts, or when the Virus Scan
Provider is deactivated/activated.
1 for test environments. Advantage: the configuration is read hourly, without having
to end the servlet engine.
