Tech Tip:
StandGuard Anti-Virus Jobs and Single-threaded Queues
StandGuard Anti-Virus job descriptions use a default job queue of QBATCH in library QGPL. If you have made that job queue a single-threaded job queue (Max active 1), the StandGuard job will sit in the job queue until complete, which could be a problem for long jobs. This tech tip will show you two ways to change this. (Requires a valid Bytware StandGuard Anti-Virus support ID and password.)
