A couple of options come to mind... - use <cfsetting requesttimeout = XXXXX> on the task page before the code... that should override setting in administrator - that's the only way I can think of to override the administrator default
- use cfthread to run your tasks in the browser - cfthread allows the browser to finish it's handling of the code while cfthread continues the processing. The drawback to this method is that the browser doesn't show when the task run by cfthread is complete. You'll have to use another method besides feedback in the browser to determine completion. Another positive with this approach, besides getting around browser timeout, is that you can spawn multiple threads to run simultaneously. (Making sure they're no co-dependent...in that case, you'd need to set up a series of "don't run the next thread until this one finishes. I do this every day with about 40 tasks processing data sequentially (But my threads are run in the task scheduler...you could do the same thing from a browser) Question: do the tasks have to be triggered manually from the browser for a reason other than running them sequentially? -----Original Message----- From: Earl, George [mailto:george.e...@ssa.gov] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 8:42 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Scheduled tasks timeout vs. server timeout We need to be able to manually run scheduled tasks that take longer to complete than our server timeout setting. By 'manually run' I mean by entering the URL for a scheduled task into the address bar of our browser or by clicking on links to a scheduled task (because we have limited access to CF Administrator). I understand that the timeout setting for scheduled tasks overrides the server timeout setting but I assume that works only when the task is run by the CF scheduler or by running it manually from within the CF Administrator, is this correct? If we run a scheduled task manually as described above is cfsetting\requestTimeout in the code our only recourse for overriding the server timeout setting? Thanks!
