Enable Antivirus Scanning in Essbase

If your network uses an antivirus scanner, enable it in Essbase to ensure that files uploaded to Essbase are scanned for viruses.

Requirements:
  • You must be the system administrator.
  • The virus scanner software must be compatible with the ICAP protocol.
  • Essbase supports Symantec and ClamAV virus scanner software. The Symantec and ClamAV virus scanners are not included with the Essbase installation. Install the software separately and confirm that it can be reached by the Essbase server.
To enable virus scanning in Essbase,
  1. Log in to the Essbase web interface.
  2. Go to the Console.
  3. Click File Scanner.
  4. Enter the hostname and port for the virus scanner ICAP server.
  5. Enable the virus scanner using the toggle switch.

If the file scanner detects a virus, a message stating "File is infected by a virus" is displayed, and you will be unable to upload the file.

ClamAV has a known limitation on file sizes. Consult ClamAV documentation for details.
