Summary :
SAP Note emphasizes the use of virus scanners on Windows servers running SAP software while maintaining that it does not endorse specific antivirus products. SAP details that performance assessments by hardware partners should occur in environments without active antivirus software to avoid skewed results. It explains antivirus operations like permanent and selective virus analyses, which can impact system performance by consuming additional memory and CPU resources. In case of operational issues potentially caused by antivirus tools, SAP advises disabling or uninstalling the antivirus for troubleshooting. Specific file access errors during SAP operations or support package imports might necessitate modifying antivirus configurations to avoid file lock issues.
