Document scan status

When you add a document or a new document version, Objective Connect scans it to make sure it is safe.

• If the scan is successful, the document is added to Objective Connect.

• If you upload a large document (file size between 2GB and 25GB), the document is not scanned and the status is shown as: 

  

  You will be able to work on this document without restrictions - just like you would with a successfully scanned one.

  If your Objective Connect workspace is integrated with Objective ECM or Micro Focus Content Manager via Objective Connect Link, the file is not synchronised with your repository.

• If the scan is not successful, you might see one of the following statuses:

  • Failure to scan document

    • If Objective Connect fails to scan a document, typically due to a non-recoverable error with the underlying virus scan engine, the document is marked with a "Failure to scan document" status. Objective Connect attempts to scan the document up to 2 times across 20 minute intervals.

      

    • If a document is marked with this status, you can download it just like a successfully scanned one, if you have a download permission. To download the document, click for the document or open it and download it from its Preview page.

  • Virus detected

    During document scan if Objective Connect encounters a virus, the document is marked with a "Virus detected" status:

    

When a document is in one of these statuses:

• You cannot download it.

• From the option on the Workspace page, you can:

  • Cancel uploading the document. This is useful when you are unable to delete documents.

  • Upload New Version of the document.

  • Delete Document (if you have adequate privileges and if Objective Connect is not integrated with Objective ECM or Micro Focus Content Manager via Objective Connect Link).

• If the document has versions that were successfully added, you can rollback to or download a version.
