Setting whether objects should be scanned or not

 

Follow these steps to set whether an object should be scanned or not.

1. Expand your system in iSeries™ Navigator > File Systems > Integrated File System.

2. Expand the folder or file of interest.

3. Right-click the folder or file and select Properties

4. Select the Security tab.

5. Select Scan objects with the option that you want.

For more information about the options, see the following sections. The descriptions for these options are for files. Only files may be scanned. With folders and user-defined file systems, you can specify what scan attribute should be given to files created in that folder or user-defined file system.

• Yes

  The object will be scanned according to the rules described in the scan-related exit programs if the object has been modified or if the scanning software has been updated since the last time the object was scanned.

• No

  The object will not be scanned by the scan-related exit programs.

  If the Scan on next access after object has been restored option is selected in the system values when an object with this attribute is restored, the object will be scanned at least once after the restore.

• Only when the object has changed

  The object will be scanned according to the rules described in the scan-related exit programs only if the object has been modified since the last time the object was scanned. It will not be scanned if the scanning software has been updated.

  If the Use only when objects have changed attribute to control scan option is not specified in the system values, this object change only attribute will not be used, and the object will be scanned after it is modified and when scan software indicates an update.

Notes:

1. On this tab for files, you can also determine the scan status of an object.

2. If the Scan on next access after object has been restored option is selected in the system values when an object with this attribute is restored, the object will be scanned at least once after the restore.
