Allowing file access when the scan cannot be performed

About the mandatory_scan option

You can specify whether files can be accessed if the scan cannot be performed by using the mandatory_scan option of the vscan command. The default setting is On. When this option is set to On, file access is denied if a successful scan cannot be performed. When this option is set to Off, access is allowed even if no successful scan can be performed.

A scan might not be able to be performed if no scanner is available, if the request times out, or for other reasons.
