Disclaimer:
Any exclusion configuration in your antivirus settings can cause security issues. Consider this tip as a hint to investigate the cause of the performance impact on your AS build. If this helps, you should discuss it with your internal IT team.
During the build process, AS needs write access to the following directories, which should be excluded from virus scanners if there are significant performance impacts on build time:
- Temporary directory of the Automation Studio project. This is by default within the project
(\temp)
but can also be placed outside the project by the user.
- Temporary directory of the user who is logged on to the Windows system:
C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming
- Temporary directory of the user who is logged on to the Windows system:
C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Temp
- Windows temporary directory:
C:\Windows\Temp
When using fieldbus devices and DTM devices, there is write access to the following directories:
C:\ProgramData\BR\AS-Version
C:\ProgramData\SYCONnet
C:\ProgramData\IO-Link\Generic IO-Link Device DTM\IO-Link DDs
