System Response

Since the desired status is that this virus scan server is no longer
started, the sytsem will attempt to stop this server using the

be some time until the virus scan server is deactivated. You can find
out from your system administrator how long this time frame is.

check the log messages of the auto-reaction method, to see if these
contain useful information.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
