Vitual Service Operation has no inbound request after deployment

Products

• CA Application Test
• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

My deployed virtual service works for a couple of hours/days (it is variable) and then is no longer able to process requests. The operation is listed as "(no date) (no incoming request found) and the VS log message says "WARN: No inbound request found" - "No inbound request found stored within the 'lisa.vse.request' property" 

The VSE spikes CPU consumption to 99% and it effectively locked up the server. Exceptions are thrown in VSE, Registry, Portal, Coordinator, etc

The virtual service will work again after re-deploying it. 

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

The Qualys scan was run on the VSE server.  

Resolution

 Recommendation: 

The known VSE ports should be placed in the scanner exclusion list.
