In the example below I added the column to the query so it is selected, but what is the best way to check the compared […]

The downloads are available on the Adobe page where Adobe offers JVM updates. More about how to proceed to implement the update, in a moment.

At one of our customers we’re migrating an old CFMX7 application to CF2021. In certain reports the Week() function is used. <cfset oldlocale = SetLocale (“Dutch (Standard)”)> We’re performing the initial tests in our CF2018 developer environment. In using Week() in CFMX7 the week starts at Mondays and weeknumbers are correct. Using the same source code in CF2018 the week suddenly starts at Sundays and weeknumbers are incorrect (for instance today – 21/01/2021 – returns week 4 instead of week […]

Cannot send JSON to server due to communication issues – I believe it the Java security certificate
This a correction and expansion to news I shared here yesterday: first, the next release of CF will be code-named Project Fortuna, not Athena. I will explain that in a moment. Second and more useful, I can also share more here about what’s planned for the new release. Read on for more.
This is not huge news but it’s news nonetheless that some might have missed. It seems the next release of CF (after CF2021 which was released in Nov 2020) will be code-named, “Project Athena Fortuna”. (Update: When I first posted this, I reported it would be Athena, based on the resources I quote below. I learned the next day that they had indeed changed it to Fortuna. For more, including more on what’s to come, see my updated post.) Read […]
