Anti-virus exceptions
Anti-virus and security solutions should be set so that they do not scan-on-write any files used by IXIA CCMS components.
Anti-virus scanners can interfere with CCMS components and connection ports. Each component performs frequent disk I/O operations and requires quick access and low latency.
If desired, scheduled scans can be performed, preferably at times where usage of the system will be lower as performance will be affected.
Disable scan-on-write on the following directories and communication ports:
| CCMS component | Exclude directories | Exclude ports |
|---|---|---|
| IXIA TEXTML Server | Folder containing the Content Store (data) Destination of any backup Parent folder of all instances of IXIA TEXTML Server where the configuration files and logs are saved |
IXIA TEXTML Server communication port |
| IXIA CCMS Output Generator | Installation directory | IXIA CCMS Output Generator communication port |
| IXIA CCMS Scheduler | Installation directory | No required exclusion |
| IXIA CCMS Desktop | Working directories for Tomcat | No required exclusion |
| IXIA CCMS Desktop | Folder containing the CCMS Desktop installation Folder containing the workspace of CCMS Desktop, either local or on the Citrix/RDP server or network share |
CCMS Desktop communication port |
