Recommendations upon the co-usage of Kaspersky Security 10.x for Windows Server and Oracle DBMS

The article concerns:

• Kaspersky Security 10.1.2 for Windows Server
• Kaspersky Security 10.1.1 for Windows Server
• Kaspersky Security 10.1.0 for Windows Server
• Kaspersky Security 10.0.0 for Windows Server

If you use an Oracle DBMS on a computer with Kaspersky Endpoint 10.x for Windows Server installed, we recommend that you exclude the following critical Oracle files from scanning:

• Oracle files with the DBF extension.
• Files with the LOG extension.  Log files are created when backing up files or restoring the database from a backup.
• Redo files with the RDO extension which contain real-time Oracle performance logs.
• Control files with the CTL extension.

You can exclude these files in the following ways:

• By adding Oracles software catalogs to the Trusted Zone exclusions list on the server where the files are stored.
• Add exclusions based on the file extension in the protection scope settings of the Real-Time File Protection task:
  • *.dbf
  • *.log
  • *.rdo
  • *.ctl
