File scan to detect malicious files

Summary

File scan to detect malicious files

Description

An option to scan files uploaded in Argus is introduced by integrating any file scan system with Argus. Configure any custom file scan adapter from Argus Console > System Configuration > Webservice > Bridge Configuration > Service dropdown > File Scan, similar to document management service or translation service.

To support file scan for the Argus Cloud users, the Service Assembly section parameters, like assembly file name, class name, and configuration JSON file are automatically populated using Oracle SFS (Shared File Services). This file scan feature is configured by checking the Enable File Scan check box at enterprise level.

Note:

To use the file scan integration, you must configure the Common Profile Switches > Network Settings > Argus Safety API Load Balancer URL (with port 8091). This is similar to the pre-configuration required for using any of the integration like Document Management System or Translation service.

File scan once configured performs scanning of the files while uploading files into Argus Safety from the following sections. If any file is found to be malicious or if you try to open the file while scanning is in progress, an appropriate error message is displayed.

  • Bookin > Attachments and References
  • LAM Event > Local Info > Notes and Attachments
  • Case Form
    • Additional Information > Notes and Attachments
    • Activities > Contact Log for Letter attachment
    • Patient > Lab Data > Import (only applicable for J user)
  • Reports > Periodic Reports
    • Any J periodic report > Generate Final > Checkout > Update any data > Checkin (same the Checkout button changes to Checkin)
    • PSUR/CTPR > Report configuration > Template (only when Dossier is enabled)
    • PSUR/CTPR > View Argus Dossier > Additional Content > Add (only when Dossier is enabled)
  • Worklist
    • Contacts > Click the Letter icon > Click YES to save the modified letter > Attach letter for case
    • Letters > Click the Letter icon > Click YES to save the modified letter > Attach letter for case
  • Advanced Condition > Case Series > Import
  • Utilities > Argus Unblinding > Unblinding Advanced > Randomization Data File load
  • Console
    • Codelist > Letter Configuration
    • Codelist > Reporting Destination > Email Text Body
    • Codelist > Event Groups > Import
    • Interchange > Manage Profile > EMA R3/PMDA R3 > Follow-up Receive > PK Element Configuration
    • Tools > Dictionary Management > EDQM > Dictionary File
  • EMA E2B(R3) and PMDA E2B(R3) XML file import having attachments

File scan is asynchronous in the following screens. You can upload file(s) and continue working while file scan continues in the background.

  • Bookin > Attachments and References
  • Case Form > Additional Information > Notes and Attachments

Note:

File scan is not performed while loading dictionaries like WHODrug, MedDRA, J Drug, IMDRF, and JFMDA. File scan is applicable only for attachments directly added in the application. Hence, features like Worklist > Intake, Worklist > J Literature Intake are not applicable because the data is read from these files and populated into Argus. These files are not uploaded into Argus.
