>Hey does anyone have any idea when an updater for CFMX6.1 might be out?

Following is the 3/19 CF-Talk email where there was specific mention of
a "6.1 cumulative hotfix due in April". I've not seen any further
information posted about it.

Subject: Re: JRun 4 Updater 3 Now Available

Just to clarify.

The vast majority of what's in JRun Updater 3 is what was made available
to CF customers in CFMX 6.1

Updater 3 gets these fixes to JRun 4 customers.

There is a some small number items fixed in Updater 3 that aren't in
CFMX 6.1.  We're working on a cumulative hotfix due in April to make
those available for CFMX 6.1 Server-configuration customers.  

Some other fixes available ***POST-U3*** (didn't make U3) for JRun and
CFMX customers through hotfixes + other random thoughts I'll share:
(note: all of these will be in the 6.1 cumulative hotfix due in April)

- we expect to release new datadirect drivers soon to fix the oracle and
sqlserver issues customers have reported (no more data....,
arrayindexoutofbounds, hangs) with the 3.2 drivers shipped with JRun 4
Updater 2 and CFMX 6.1. They are still in testing mode.  JRun4 Updater 3
got the 3.1+ drivers since they were the most stable.  3.1+ was also
made available as a hotfix for CFMX customers with issues.  We expect to
replace the 3.1+ for JRun and CFMX customers with newer drivers in the
next few weeks if testing goes well.

Please email me if you'd like to participate in the beta.

- some connector enhancements - including failover in clustering working
as expected (we will have a hotfix for this soon  - please email me).
These fixes are long overdue.

- connection pooling fixes for "JRun datasources" to match the pooling
fixes for ColdFusion datasources (see technote below).
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/conn_pool_hotf
ix.htm

(for apps like AbleCommerce that use "JRun datasources" ie entered
through the JMC and available to all instances).  Users of JRun J2EE
CFMX versions would need these if they have connection-limited
datasources *AND* the underlying application used JRun datasources.

This fix will be made available in a few days.

- Client variable purge fixes for SQL and registry datasources (there
were 4 bugs fixed).  This often showed up when the server hung every
hour on the hour for the maintenance task of purging client variables
older than [N] days. This hits many customers if they use "registry" and
the registry grows to say 50,000 or 100,000+ entries.  SQL datasources
are recommended but even if users switched, the registry purges still
occurred (in addition to SQL purges) and could hang the system.  The fix
now respects the unchecked "purge" setting for all client datasource
types.  

These are the ones that come to mind that get reported most often
hanging systems.

***For Dick AppleBaum***:  
1) JRun and, therefore, CF use the JVM 1.3 instead of 1.4 (even with   
the fix posted  Christian Cantrell's blog site)

> Part of this is the installer not allowing the selection.  There are

Please email me and I can get you some code to test.

2) When starting a CF 6.1 JRun server instance, the scheduler does not

start (see below).

>  I've heard of this sporadically but can't reproduce it.  Perhaps send
me your neo-cron.xml and jrun.xml and I'll see if I can repro it on my
machine.  6.1 definitely massaged this .xml file on an existing server.
Perhaps the one in your new instance got corrupted somehow.
