Provider type choice: ADAPTER (Virus Scan Adapter): This option can be chosen in case Avira GmbH supports the SAP operation system directly. The virus scanner runs directly in the SAP web application server and no files have to be sent to an outsourced server via the network. With this configuration, there is no need to set a VCSAN_RFC as the SAP system communicates directly with the virus scanner. - Page 10 SERVER (Virus Scan Server): This option has to be activated if Avira does not support the SAP operation system. The files which have to be scanned are sent to an outsourced server. After the scan the virus scanner informs the SAP system if a virus has been found or not.
