Introduce Timeout in DSMCAD

By default, dsmcad doesn't have any time out value.


Post Rapid Force NVA 6.6.128 upgrade, the connection of NVA Scan is not closing as expected. Post Scan of TSM Client on dynamic or dedicated dsmcad port, the connection stays as active, dsmcad service is sitting idle neither accepting new call from TSM server schedule or rejecting back the NVA Scan.


There is Sev 1 case (TS008634764) opened and had a very major impact, the only workaround was to restart dsmcad.

    efix was provided for this, please reference TS008634764.


    Did that address the concern or is there any other issue?

    A timeout would make sense.


    Also, not opening the port if it isn't needed. With MANAGEDServices schedule there is no need for the dsmcad port to be open, but yet you have to add Cadlistenonport no as well to the configuration.
