Mike, I have seen two techniques used for this:
1) If your server system has virus scanning software that runs when a file is saved to the disk (and generally it will save a cleaned file or empty stub if there is a problem) You can just have workflow that runs when TR.attachment != $NULL$ and have an action that Saves the attachment to disk and then a second action that reads the attachment from disk. If the file is clean, this is a write and a read of the same file so no issue and no problem. If the file is a problem, it would have been cleaned or munged (this is a technical term....) and your reloaded file is save -- although not the original. 2) Write a filter plugin and pass the attachment to the plugin and have the logic in the plugin do the virus check and then either return an error or a cleaned file or whatever you want in case of problem and just leave the file as is in case of no problem. I hope this helps, Doug Mueller -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of versicle Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 10:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Attachment Virus Scanning Hi All, Is anyone aware of software that Remedy can call or interface with to scan files before they are attached to a form?
