+	RDK_LOG(RDK_LOG_INFO, LOG_RFCMGR, "[%s][%d] Clearing DB Value: %s\n", __FUNCTION__,__LINE__,ClearDB.c_str());
+    set_RFCProperty(name, std::move(ClearDB), clearValue);

+    set_RFCProperty(name, std::move(BootstrapClearDB), clearValue);


Use-after-move error: The BootstrapClearDB string is logged at line 1300 using .c_str(), but then immediately moved at line 1301. After std::move(), BootstrapClearDB is in an unspecified state and using it is undefined behavior. The logging should occur after the set_RFCProperty call, or the second parameter should not use std::move() since it's still needed by the logging statement.

Suggested change

set_RFCProperty(name, std::move(BootstrapClearDB), clearValue);

set_RFCProperty(name, BootstrapClearDB, clearValue);

Coverity Issue - Variable copied when it could be moved

"ConfigChangeTime" is passed-by-value as parameter to "std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits, std::allocator >::basic_string(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits, std::allocator > const &)", when it could be moved instead.

Low Impact, CWE-none
COPY_INSTEAD_OF_MOVE

How to fix

Use "std::move(""ConfigChangeTime"")" instead of "ConfigChangeTime".

    std::string ConfigSetHashName = "ConfigSetHash";
    std::string ConfigSetHash_key = "Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Control.ConfigSetHash";
-    set_RFCProperty(ConfigSetHashName, ConfigSetHash_key, configSetHash);
+    set_RFCProperty(std::move(ConfigSetHashName), std::move(ConfigSetHash_key), configSetHash);


Unnecessary use of std::move on local variables that are only used once. The function signature set_RFCProperty(std::string name, std::string key, std::string value) takes all parameters by value, which means they will be copied regardless of std::move. Since ConfigSetHashName and ConfigSetHash_key are local variables that are not used after this call, the compiler's copy elision and move semantics will automatically optimize this. Using std::move here doesn't provide any benefit and makes the code less readable.

Suggested change

set_RFCProperty(std::move(ConfigSetHashName), std::move(ConfigSetHash_key), configSetHash);

Inconsistent indentation: Lines 1990, 1993, and 2001 use tabs while surrounding code uses spaces. This violates the consistent indentation pattern seen throughout the file. Consider maintaining consistent indentation style (appears to be 4 spaces based on surrounding context).
