Virus-scanning issues
It is important to achieve a balance between ensuring a secure and virus-free environment while
also not interfering with the reliability and performance on each Wave Server. One contributing
cause of application and service outages or system performance issues may be not configuring
adequate exclusions if you use virus-scanning software.
Current best practice is to exclude the following Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) folders
from virus scanning:
%SystemRoot%\system32\MSMQ
%SystemRoot%\system32\MSMQ\storage
Important: Applying this exclusion is at your discretion. Applying any exclusion to your
virus-scanning configuration may make your Wave Server or your network more vulnerable to
attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. Before making any changes,
it is recommended that the risks associated with configuring virus-scanning exclusions be
evaluated thoroughly. Depending on the specifics of your environment, additional settings may
be required to prevent reliability and/or performance issues.
Installing WaveNet
Once your Wave Server meets the requirements listed below, the WaveNet applet in the Global
Administrator Management Console will be operational—no additional installation steps are
required.
Perform the following steps on each Wave Server that will be added as a node in the WaveNet
network.
1 Make sure that each Wave Server in the WaveNet network meets the following
requirements:
• Install or upgrade the Wave Server to the required versions. For the latest information,
contact your Vertical provider.
• Purchase, enter, and activate required one WaveNet license per Wave Server. For
more about Wave licenses, see Chapter 24.
