If you find that the CF ODBC services fail to start after applying the Feb 2019 (or Sep 2018) updates to CF11 or CF2016.

The first month of 2019 has passed and it was full of year end wrap up articles about anything and everything from 2018. Most were fluff articles on pop culture and such. What I found most interesting were the articles that quantified the past year of hacking and security breaches. According to NBC News, Hackers stole nearly half a billion personal records in 2018.

Although the CFAdmin > Updates shows that Update 7 is not applied and that there are two available updates, I am assume that the update is applied. The version number above shows a mux of 5 and 7, however implies 7 is applied since the build number (311392) matches that of Update 7, TomCat version was updated correctly and the new function GetCanonicalPath() is present.
