CF Scheduled Tasks: more than you may know, and should

The next Hawaii ColdFusion User Group Meeting is all about scheduling in ColdFusion. Please RSVP on our Meetup page – https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294711603/ If folks were asked to discuss CF scheduled tasks, I suspect most would feel “there’s not much ‘to say”, but there really is a lot more to working with them simply “setting a given url to run on a given schedule” (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance?). There are both more features than most realize, as […]

Fix for CF Issue 4211276 (MariaDB/mySQL Date error)

Posting some information here about an issue related to mySQL date errors in CF2021. Error posted here: CF-4211276 | Tracker (adobe.com) The thread is a long one, but these items should focus it down to a concise solution. If you are encountering this issue in CF2023, adding Dcoldfusion.jdbc.mysql.datetime.str=true to the JVM arguments should resolve the issue. For CF2021, there are the following patches available: 2021: https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/PR/cf2021/patches/4211276/hf202100-4211276.jar & 2018: https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/PR/cf2021/patches/4211276/hf201800-4211276.jar The detail with the “two different JVM arguments” comes from a […]

CFSETUP Not Exporting the Client Sessions Configuration

I’m using CFSetup.SH to export my ColdFusion Settings then re-import them into a Docker Container. The client session settings do not seem to be exportable. So every time I start my container I have to log in the the CF admin select the datasource from the dropdown and select it as my client store. Is there something I’m missing or is this a setting that is not exportable but should be? Chris

Will the latest version of Eclipse (2023-06) work with ColdFusion Builder 2018?

I’ve installed ColdFusion Builder 2018.  Eclipse was not already installed, so I used the stand-alone version.  I want to use SVN.  I installed Subversion through the Eclipse Marketplace.  Since the SVN connectors do not come with Subversion, I must install them separately.  I haven’t been able to install them through the marketplace (they don’t appear when I search), through the SVN tab in Eclipse preferences ( I get the error “Connector discovery completed without finding any connectors”), or when I […]
