|
|
<div><p>These examples show what the exit program can scan for.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <ul><li>Viruses <p>The exit programs can scan for viruses. If a virus is located
|
||
|
|
in a file, the anti-virus program can act accordingly by repairing the problem
|
||
|
|
or by attempting to quarantine the virus. Since the iSeries™ server itself would not be infected
|
||
|
|
by the virus, what this accomplishes is a reduction in virus transmissions
|
||
|
|
between servers.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Calls to know when a file was opened <p>You may also scan to find out
|
||
|
|
when a file was opened. By enacting this scan, you are able to track the date
|
||
|
|
and time of when certain files were accessed. This would be useful when you
|
||
|
|
want to track the behavior of certain users.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The scan can occur at two different time depending on how the
|
||
|
|
system values are set and how the scan environment is established. The following
|
||
|
|
list describes different kinds of scanning depending on the time they occur.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <ol><li>Runtime scanning <p>A runtime scan is a scan on a file or files during
|
||
|
|
normal day-to-day activities. This ensures the integrity of your files every
|
||
|
|
time they are accessed. Scanning during your normal activities allows you
|
||
|
|
to ensure that your file or files are current for whatever standards you are
|
||
|
|
scanning.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Example of a runtime scan for viruses</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You
|
||
|
|
choose to access a file on the integrated file system from your PC. When the
|
||
|
|
file is opened from the PC, it is scanned. Because an open exit program is
|
||
|
|
registered and the QSCANFS system value is set to scan files in the "root"
|
||
|
|
(/), QOpenSys and UDFS file systems. The scan shows one virus is found and
|
||
|
|
the anti-virus exit program proceeds to repair the problem. After the exit
|
||
|
|
program repairs the file, the file is no longer infected. Thus, the access
|
||
|
|
from the PC is not infected and it cannot spread the infection.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Now
|
||
|
|
say that instead of scanning for viruses on that access, you choose not to
|
||
|
|
do a runtime scan. Then, after accessing the infected file from your PC, the
|
||
|
|
virus might be transferred to your PC. By employing a runtime scan, the virus
|
||
|
|
can be detected before it spreads to your PC.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
main shortcoming of this method is that resource time is required to do the
|
||
|
|
scans. Users attempting to access a file must wait until the scan is completed,
|
||
|
|
before being able to use the file. The system ensures that scanning is performed
|
||
|
|
only when required, not on every access.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Mass or manually activated scanning <p>You can
|
||
|
|
use this option if you want to scan multiple items at the same time. In this
|
||
|
|
instance, you can set the scan to occur when your server is off, such as during
|
||
|
|
the weekend. This has very little impact on accessing files during your normal
|
||
|
|
day-to-day activities. The scan is done offline. Therefore, it can reduce
|
||
|
|
runtime scan overhead for files that do not change after the mass scan is
|
||
|
|
completed. Because re-scans are not required when such files are accessed
|
||
|
|
again.</p>
