You want to know what scan exclusions can be applied to an Oracle database server running Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Exclusions could be set for the following extensions:

• .dbf - database file
• .log - Online Redo Log
• .rdo - Online Redo Log
• .arc - Archive log
• .ctl - Control files

Contact Oracle for a full list of files and extensions that should be excluded from scans.

Note:  Wildcard variables such as * and ? are not supported by Symantec Antivirus or Endpoint Protection

IMPORTANT : Symantec does not advise excluding entire directories (such as the Oracle database directory and subdirectories) from scanning as this poses a potential high security risk. Additionally you should not exclude any temp files or folders as these can be a target for security risks.
