2364632 - Socket Input Adapter: How to retry connection - SAP ESP

• The SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) project is using the Socket Input Adapter (e.g. Socket CSV Input Adapter, Socket XML Input Adapter) in Managed Mode.
• The adapter successfully obtains data from a third party source and publishes it into the ESP project.
• The adapter's state is CONTINUOUS, indicating that the adapter is running successfully. 
• When the adapter detects that the socket connection fails, the adapter's state changes to DEAD, as expected.
• However, when the adapter should detect that the socket connection is available, the adapter's state unexpectedly remains DEAD.
• The expectation is that the adapter would automatically retry to detect that socket is again available/detectable, so that it would resume obtaining and publishing the data to ESP.
• Instead, the adapter remains in the DEAD state.
• Setting the "retry" property to 30 seconds and "keepalive" to TRUE does not change the way the adapter behaves.
• Setting "keepalive" to FALSE also does not change the way the adapter behaves.
• The only way to cause the adapter to resume operation is to restart the ESP project or to restart the adapter.
• How to configure the Socket CSV Input Adapter to automatically restore the state back to CONTINUOUS, without manual intervention?
