Virus scan during file check-in or upload

Is there any option available for doing virus scan on file being check-in in UCM? Is there any UCM service/ webservice available to do virus scan?
If we've implement custom logic for same, what's the best practice or approach to be followed from UCM standpoint.

Hi,
That can be done, for sure, but you will need an antivirus service(third party) that scans the actual file. Once you have that, you can communicate with it via some protocol and make the scanning requests. The service itself will be installed on some machine with all there is to it(according to the specs of the manufacturer) and then you can write a Java client/server (let's say) that adheres to the protocol the service imposes to make the communication possible. The service will do the scanning and your client/server will initiate the request, read the response, communicate with the WCC so on and so forth...
Considering that during the check-in the path of the file being checked-in is available and according to the service's API one can develop a flow that will scan the files before being actually checked-in. We have used SAVAPI - Secure AntiVirus Application Programming Interface (SAVAPI) from Avira that provides an interface to detect malware and repair infected files.

Virus scan a file before upload.

Hi friends,
I wanted to virus scan a file before being uploaded to the server. I have basically no idea how this could be done in java.Could anyone help me out in this.

Well, you'd have to virus scan after upload, since you couldn't to it on the client. And then you'd have to either find virus scan software with a Java API or use JNI to access a C++ API, or if it supports a command-line mode, use Runtime.exec() to execute that and parse that command's output.

Virus scan during Cfolder file upload

Hi Guys,
We have SRM with Cfolder. Supplier upload huge documents to cfolder, could you please let me know is there any antivirus software to scan the files. Please advise.

Hi,
As far as i know, there is no such feature available in cFolders. May be a virus scan at the server level could be possible. You need to check with SAP experts @ SAP security space.

Virus scanning of files

Hi All,
Anyone worked with scanning of files in XI configuration? If yes give me some inputs for this scenario
Thanks
Sai

Yes Sai,
Its true we can scan files in SAP using API's.
You can use the virus scan interface to include external virus scanners in the SAP system to increase the security of your system. This means that you can use a high-performance integration solution to scan files or documents that are processed by applications for viruses. This applies both for applications delivered by SAP and for customer developments, for example, during data transfers across networks or when documents are exchanged using interfaces.

Virus Scan on File Attachments

Hi,
I have added the file upload/download capability to a OAF page using AttachmentTable component. Everything works fine, I am able to upload/download files. But, I have to scan the documents for any viruses before uploading them. Could you please give some pointers on how can I do it?
Thank you.

Virus scanning is happening for iRecruitement Module if Semanatic antivirus server is installed(This required to buy sementic licence.)
iRec code use this oracle.apps.per.irc.common.VirusCheck file for scanning document (Uploaded by OAF pages).
After enabling this setup and using VirusCheck class you can enable Virus Scanning for your custom code.
We have also tried other options like finding any JAVA or PLSQL API and or any free tool but did n't get success in this way.

When downloading a file, how do I tell Firefox to not do a virus scan of files with specific extensions such a .gif files?

I'm using AVG Free as my anti-virus program and always use the latest version. I have set scanning options in AVG to skip the scanning of gif and jpg files but that seems to be ignored when I am downloading a very small file of either type. The "Downloads" (Ctrl J) pop-up window shows the progress of the download and scan. At times, the virus scan is so miserably slow for simple gif and jpg files that it is a while until I can once more move my mouse cursor.
By the way, I'm using version 3.6.17 Firefox and WIN 7 Premium.

Unfortunately, I continue to have the problem. Just to make sure, following your suggestion, I shut down Firefox then restarted it but had the same result. Similarly, I rebooted after making the changes but again, no difference. Ah well...
Just thought I'd attach this partial screen print to show that I am in Firefox and that I am downloading a file -- in this case, a daily Doonesbury gif file.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Virus Scan a file in java

Is there any API in java that scan a file for virus without using any external resources?

Sreejith-JavaDeveloper wrote:
Is it possible with the help of any external scan engine?You can call out to any external program you wish, but doing this kind of makes using Java pointless in the first place doesn't it?
1) Could you write a virus scanner in Java? Yes.
2) Would it be very good? No
3) Can you invoke some other virus scanner from Java? Yes
4) Can you programmatically interact with some other virus scanner from Java? It depends on whether that virus scanner implements an appropriate interface for you. Not likely.

How to virus scan uploads

I think everybody will be aware that large web sites
always virus scan the files you upload to there server.
Would anybody know how to virus scan a file that you would upload on to your server.
Using JSP or the Java Bean.
This one is trickly.
Many thanks to all.
Any help is good help

Upload it to a temporary folder. Run an external virus scanner against the file (find out how to run an external program). If it passes, move it to the "real" location. otherwise, prompt the user for instructions.

CG36 - No virus scan profile is selected as the "default profile"

When running transaction CG36 - Import Reports, I'm getting this message in the job log:
"No virus scan profile is selected as the "default profile" VSCAN 034 I"
Do I have to set up a default profile for virus scan? I have never seen this error until recent upgrade. Is there a way to by pass this virus scan if we choose not to activate it?
Thanks!

I encountered the same problem during the CG36 transaction.
"Error during virus scan in file "...\usr\sap\.....\xixoxoxioxo.pdf" with Message class "CM_REPORT_IMP_EXP" 010 E
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE.
This may be due to BASIS security level virus scan checks on the files being imported to the application server. Is BASIS assistance required on this or any workaround to bypass?
Thank you.

"The upload has failed.
There was a problem running a virus scan for the file. "
This is the message i get when tryng to update
any ideas?

Error: "svr.VirusScanExecutionError"
An intermittent problem with acrobat.com's underlying virus scan component causes this issue. This issue happens occasionally on a small number of server instances.
The solution is to update the article again. Trying again typically routes you to a different host in the server array.

Scan a file for virus before upload

In many CRM functions, eg - Activities, Mkt Planner, etc., there is a tab for uploading/attaching files. How can we scan the file for virus before saving? We have a Basis 620, so we can't use the Virus Scan Interface because it is available from Basis 640 onwards.
I am looking for two things - 1. A method to scan for virus and 2. A user exit where this can be implemented before saving.
Thanks.

Error Message: "A virus was detected in FILENAME. This file will not be uploaded"

I have been synching files using Creative Cloud Connect for many months. During the past few weeks, I get the message "Some files failed to sync". When I click on "Learn more", it has 3 files there and all have the message "A virus was detected in filename . This file will not be uploaded". I scanned all three files with AVG and Malwarebytes (installed on my system) and both report that there is no virus in those files. I have tried to chat with support but I could not find any resolution with them. I believe that I never got to the right place. I was connected with 5 different people. At the end of the last discussion I spoke to Adobe Captivate support. It so happens that the files with that error are all Adobe Captivate files. But that support also concluded that they couldn't help. I could not find similar entries in the forums either. Did anyone else have this problem?
I appreciate any help.
Angela

No unfortunately, I have not. I spent over an hour on the phone with them already regarding this topic. In the end, the support in Adobe Captivate (that's the 5th support group they connected me to) told me that I wasn't allowed to upload Captivate files since Adobe Captivate 8 is not a CC application and that's why the problem was happening. I am absolutely sure that this is untrue since I have many Captivate files on CC. I think the key will be to get to the right support group. Good luck! I really hope you find a solution. Keep me informed. Thanks.

How are people performing virus scans on uploads?

I am going to be starting an application shortly that will accept uploaded files from 3rd parties. Luckily they will not be annonymous but you never know if a friendly source may have become infected without thier knowledge.
So my question is how are other APEX developers ensuring that the files they receive are clean? Does running a real-time AV on the webserver scan temporary files hitting somewhere under /www or does APEX load each bit directly into the BLOB, effectively bypassing scanning? I've searched a bit but was unable to find anything concrete here on the forums.
I'm debating dropping the file to the file system for scanning before it is accessible by our internal users but if that is unnecessary I don't have to worry about it.
Thank you,
Kelley

Kelley,
Another option (in addition to those suggested) is to integrate with a content scanning service that supports the ICAP protocol, such as Symantec:
http://www.symantec.com/business/products/overview.jsp?pcid=2242&pvid=836_1
Essentially you let the user upload the file, then stream it across using UTL_TCP etc to your scanning service and check the result that is passed back (depending on your server setup you can choose to scan for viruses and/or check for content type to detect certain 'categories' that you might want to block).
It requires a bit of leg-work on you part to code the streaming, but it's not too bad once you understand how the ICAP protocol works (it's just a protocol that you need to learn to send the correct information to the server and know how to receive the content).
Hope this helps,
John.
