Re: A Tip (maybe new, maybe not)
Using SQL Server maintaining the connection would be advantageous because their wouldn't be the overhead for making a new connection, logging in, etc. In Access I don't think it matters. It is only Access after all. If I get concerned about performance of a site based on Access, I upgrade the site to SQL Server if CF's query caching wont do the trick. I believe it's actually reccomended that connections to Access databases are not maintained for memory reasons. jon Mike Kear wrote: What's the advantage of locking the server on to the database at all?

when i do this:

RE: cfreport
nevermind... found this on the crystal reports website
Unfortunately there is currently no integration with Crystal Reports 8 and
the CF report tag. ColdFusion ships with version 5.0 of Crystal Reports and
Macromedia has released patches to allow version 6 and version 7 to work
with the CF report tag. As this time there is no fix for Crystal Reports 8
to work with ColdFusion.
that sucks.

Does anyone have any expeirence with this tag? I have it working almost to where I need it but I'm running into an odd problem. I have a field that is coming in from a SQL Server VarChar with '00' as the value in the field. It is being output to the HTML as 00 in the table but for some reason the excel file is translating it as a numeric value and saving a single 0 in the file. The problem is that it's *supposed* to be a numeric value, so now I guess the question is how to I force the tag (or more to the point, Excel) to save the numbers as characters? TIA!

UDFs in a Custom Tag problem
Hello developers,
I'm writing a custom tag, and I've written some UDFs to clean up some of the code
within the custom tag. Only the custom tag uses these UDFs - they're pretty
specialized - so I thought it would be easiest to just put them right inside the
template for the custom tag. Here's my general structure:
cfif thistag.executionmode EQ start
cfscript
function IsOperator( value ) {
blah blah blah;
return something;
}
/cfscript
more code
/cfif
cfif thistag.executionmode EQ end
some output, etc.
/cfif
I get this error:
Routines cannot be declared more than once. The routine IsOperator has been declared
twice in different templates.
I have found that this error occurs at the very beginning of the end ExecutionMode
of the tag.
I can't figure out how to stop this error. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello all,
I am having trouble with the cfreport tag. I'm trying to connect to
an
oracle db, and I have created a dsn using the crystal reports oracle 8
driver, which is verified as working in the cf administrator.
this is what the CF5 docs say:
cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'
{Departments.Department} = 'International'
/cfreport
and then on the same page but different they say:
cfreport report = report_path
orderBy = result_order
username = username
password = password
formula = formula
/cfreport
when i try this:
cfreport report=dailytimesheets.rpt username=cf
password=fusion/cfreport
it can't find the report, even though the cfm and the rpt files are in
the
same directory.
when i do this:
cfreport report=D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt
username=cf password=fusion/cfreport
I get the error:
Error occurred while processing CFREPORT
An unexpected error occurred while using the Crystal Engine.
Error number 692 ocurred (Error in File
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt: Invalid export DLL or
export format.).
My thinking is that the cfdocs are just plain wrong and my syntax is
right..
but I must be missing something.
All help is appreciated.

RE: cfreport
More specifically, Crystal now has it's own webserver. So, the best
option seems to be to set up the crystal webserver and then run it in a
frame. I'm not fond of it because it sidesteps site security. Unless
someone out there has a way to integrate it with existing security, I
don't think it's a good way to offer your intellectual property over the
web. Crystal has it's own security framework that might be sufficient,
but I haven't seen a combined framework that passes parameters in a
secure manner between CF applications and CR8.
Oh, if anyone is successfully doing this, please tell me. I am aware
that the class can be accessed using ASP, I'm looking for a Cold Fusion
solution. Maybe someone has a COM object for it, or maybe someone has
figured out some LDAP tricks to keep within the security framework. And
if so, the next step is to move the crystal server to it's own machine

RE: Email Server
You may want to look at university of washington imap/pop server, which I believe is the default for most linux distos. Its really trivial to configure. If you are wanting some cf application to create mail accounts, that will take a little work. By defaults, mail accounts are created from the user accounts in the shadow file. You will need to be very careful if you are going to write something to do this from a web environment. In my opinion Cyrus is a very good imap server that can be set up as a black box and authenicate from a database instead of the shadow file. __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: UDFs in a Custom Tag problem
Dooh, I've heard of this but when I tested it on my machine, it worked fine
but I'm running the trial mx. I think the problem was that it gets defined
twice on the start and end call. I think the solution was to set them as an
include but cant test it out since it works anyway on my machine. Keep us

Subject: UDFs in a Custom Tag problem
Hello developers,
I'm writing a custom tag, and I've written some UDFs to clean up some of the
code within the custom tag. Only the custom tag uses these UDFs - they're
pretty specialized - so I thought it would be easiest to just put them right
inside the template for the custom tag. Here's my general structure:
cfif thistag.executionmode EQ start
cfscript
function IsOperator( value ) {
blah blah blah;
return something;
}
/cfscript
more code
/cfif
cfif thistag.executionmode EQ end
some output, etc.
/cfif
I get this error:
Routines cannot be declared more than once. The routine IsOperator has been
declared twice in different templates.
I have found that this error occurs at the very beginning of the end
ExecutionMode of the tag.
I can't figure out how to stop this error. Any ideas? Thanks

Re: cfreport
Rick, I've done exactly this. I created a VB com wrapper to access the
Crystal Object. Right now, I use the wrapper to pass username, password,
dbname, servername, and selection formula and then export the report to a
PDF (other formats are available, but mostly prove unusable :) ). After the
PDF is generated, I serve it to the user via CFContent. It's kind of a
convoluted way of doing things, but I didn't care for the crystal reports

Subject: cfreport
Hello all,
I am having trouble with the cfreport tag. I'm trying to connect to
an
oracle db, and I have created a dsn using the crystal reports oracle 8
driver, which is verified as working in the cf administrator.
this is what the CF5 docs say:
cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'
{Departments.Department} = 'International'
/cfreport
and then on the same page but different they say:
cfreport report = report_path
orderBy = result_order
username = username
password = password
formula = formula
/cfreport
when i try this:
cfreport report=dailytimesheets.rpt username=cf
password=fusion/cfreport
it can't find the report, even though the cfm and the rpt files are in
the
same directory.
when i do this:
cfreport report=D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt
username=cf password=fusion/cfreport
I get the error:
Error occurred while processing CFREPORT
An unexpected error occurred while using the Crystal Engine.
Error number 692 ocurred (Error in File
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt: Invalid export DLL or
export format.).
My thinking is that the cfdocs are just plain wrong and my syntax is
right..
but I must be missing something.
All help is appreciated.

RE: What is this SQL Error?
I'm trying to figure out if ColdFusion locks the whole table when running a
cfquery.
I'm getting those deadlock errors in production, where too many people
access the same table at the same time. It never happens in the development
environment or in the testing environment. But the thing is, I get deadlocks
with insert queries! Something simple as insert into sometable (col1, col2,
col3) values ('val1','val2','val3') This tells me that the lock is not done
on a row level, but on the table level. I'm using MSSQL 7, and the DBA
assures me that it would lock at row level, so I'm guessing ColdFusion is
requesting a lock at table level somewhere. Is there a CFAdmin setting for
this?

TIP: Checking to see if dynamic variable exists
Hopefully this is useful to some newbies (including myself). Lets say Forms are dynamically created and named on a page..(ex. Form.var_1, Form.var_2, etc.) Lets also say that one of those forms is a checkbox or radio, and they don't have to be checked or clicked...which means that the variable won't exist, (unlike text fields, where the formfield variable will exist even if left blank) So in order to do something with the information passed to the next page, you have to call it by its variablebut you might run into a problem if that variable never existed in the first place. Secondly, you don't know the name of that variable, since it was dynamically created! this is the basic way to check for it... CFIF isdefined(form.var_index) Let's say there are 4 form fields, but only 3 form variables were passed. Form.var_1, form.var_2, and form.var_4 You would put that check inside a loop CFLOOP index=index from=1 to=4 CFIF isdefined(form.var_index) DO and perform stuff /CFIF /CFLOOP thats how ya do it. Although this might not seem like much, you can created a new experience and different way to do things with your web apps! __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: What is this SQL Error?
If you're getting a deadlock error, chances are that it has to do with the
order that your queries are going. If you have one page with a transaction
that starts with an insert to Table A and then updates all the rows in Table
B while you have another page with a transaction that inserts into Table B
and then updates all the rows in Table A you can have a deadlock.
Example:
Page 1
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO TableA (field1,field2) VALUES ('value1', 'value2')
UPDATE TableB SET field1 = 5
COMMIT TRANSACTION
Page 2
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO TableB (field1,field2) VALUES ('value1', 'value2')
UPDATE TableA SET field1 = 5
COMMIT TRANSACTION
If both pages run at the same time, page 1 will lock TableA and page 2 will
lock TableB. Neither can let go of the lock until the transaction is
complete, but they can't get to other table they need until the other page
releases its lock.
The idea is to put all your tables into the same order so if page 1 works on
TableA and then TableB, then page 2 should work on TableA and then TableB as
well -- not in reverse order.
Does that help?

RE: What is this SQL Error?
I'm trying to figure out if ColdFusion locks the whole table
when running a cfquery.
This is entirely dependent on the database. CF is just a regular database
client, like any other database client.
I'm getting those deadlock errors in production, where too
many people access the same table at the same time. It never
happens in the development environment or in the testing
environment.
This makes sense, since you're less likely to have collisions with fewer
users.
But the thing is, I get deadlocks with insert queries!
Something simple as insert into sometable (col1, col2,
col3) values ('val1','val2','val3') This tells me that the
lock is not done on a row level, but on the table level.
I'm using MSSQL 7, and the DBA assures me that it would
lock at row level, so I'm guessing ColdFusion is requesting
a lock at table level somewhere. Is there a CFAdmin setting
for this?
No, as mentioned above, this isn't specific to CF; there's no CF Admin
setting for this. However, I wouldn't be so sure that locking is being done
on a row level. If I recall correctly, that's not the default behavior for
SQL Server 7. I think that SQL Server 7 locks pages (an internal storage
unit) rather than locking individual rows or locking the whole table.
Now, here's a problem. You may have several rows within a single page. Also,
if you're using an identity column as a primary key, and you've defined a
clustered index on that column, each insert will be physically located right
after the previous insert. So, if you have one page with one row being
inserted, and that page gets locked, and the database wants to write the
next row to the same page due to the clustered index (which by definition
matches the physical sort order of the column) that second write may be
delayed, and if the database is busy enough, that may cause problems. I've
heard that problem called a hotspot before. For a solution to this
problem, I'm not sure what route would be best to take, in your situation.
However, I'm not certain that this, by itself, is the problem you're having;
typically, I think that this problem simply causes things to get
significantly slower. A deadlock, on the other hand, implies that you have
two transactions occurring, and neither can complete until the other has
finished. So, the question for you is, are you doing anything else besides
the insert here? Are you using CFTRANSACTION or transactional logic within
your query/stored procedure also? On the other hand, for all I know, if the
hotspot issue gets bad enough, maybe that will return a deadlock error!
Your DBA should be able to help determine what's going on at the database
level, I hope.

RE: What is this SQL Error?
Thanks, I'll discuss that with our DBA.
I'm not using any CFTRANSACTION, though. What might have an impact here is
that this is a code that loops up to four times and does an insert every
time. The user selects up to four items, and then the code loops through
them and inserts a record in the table in each iteration. It's simple as
cfif listlen(selectedItems)
cfloop list=#selectedItems# index=thisSelectedItem
cfquery name=insertItem database=someDatabase
insert into someTable (col1,col2)
values (#thisUser#,#thisSelectedItem#)
/cfquery

RE: Strange SQL error
Something that's happened to me before is that, depending on what you used to write the code originally, a hidden illegal character may have been introduced. When you moved it, once again depending on what you were using, the cut and paste would eliminate any illegal characters. I usually pass code through notepad if I've touched anything like Word or Wordpad for example because of the illegal characters.

inserted, and that page gets locked, and the database wants to write the
next row to the same page due to the clustered index (which by definition
matches the physical sort order of the column) that second write may be
delayed, and if the database is busy enough, that may cause problems. I've
heard that problem called a hotspot before. For a solution to this
problem, I'm not sure what route would be best to take, in your situation.
However, I'm not certain that this, by itself, is the problem you're having;
typically, I think that this problem simply causes things to get
significantly slower. A deadlock, on the other hand, implies that you have
two transactions occurring, and neither can complete until the other has
finished. So, the question for you is, are you doing anything else besides
the insert here? Are you using CFTRANSACTION or transactional logic within
your query/stored procedure also? On the other hand, for all I know, if the
hotspot issue gets bad enough, maybe that will return a deadlock error!
Your DBA should be able to help determine what's going on at the database
level, I hope.

RE: What is this SQL Error?
I'm not using any CFTRANSACTION, though. What might have an impact here is that this is a code that loops up to four times and does an insert every time. The user selects up to four items, and then the code loops through them and inserts a record in the table in each iteration. Well, then, see if you're using a clustered index on your identity column, and find out from your DBA what your lock level really is for inserts, and as a stopgap preventative measure, you may want to do the following: 1. Use CFTRANSACTION around your insert block, if for no other reason than if the thing fails, you won't have some of the records added but not others. Alternatively, keep track of which records have been entered successfully on each loop iteration; this will be a tiny bit of extra coding, but won't have the overhead of CFTRANSACTION if you really don't need it otherwise. 2. Use CFTRY/CFCATCH to catch your deadlock errors, and retry the operation in the CFCATCH block. You may even want to nest another CFTRY within there, so that if the second attempt fails, you can provide an alternative, like prompting the user to try again. Then, it's time to actually fix the problem (note that the above measures are just stopgaps). You may need a faster, or more powerful, database server, you may need to improve the speed of your database connection, you may need to port this logic to stored procedures (along with the rest of your db logic), and so on.

Subject: RE: What is this SQL Error?
I'm trying to figure out if ColdFusion locks the whole table
when running a cfquery.
This is entirely dependent on the database. CF is just a regular database
client, like any other database client.
I'm getting those deadlock errors in production, where too
many people access the same table at the same time. It never
happens in the development environment or in the testing
environment.
This makes sense, since you're less likely to have collisions with fewer
users.
But the thing is, I get deadlocks with insert queries!
Something simple as insert into sometable (col1, col2,
col3) values ('val1','val2','val3') This tells me that the
lock is not done on a row level, but on the table level.
I'm using MSSQL 7, and the DBA assures me that it would
lock at row level, so I'm guessing ColdFusion is requesting
a lock at table level somewhere. Is there a CFAdmin setting
for this?
No, as mentioned above, this isn't specific to CF; there's no CF Admin
setting for this. However, I wouldn't be so sure that locking is being done
on a row level. If I recall correctly, that's not the default behavior for
SQL Server 7. I think that SQL Server 7 locks pages (an internal storage
unit) rather than locking individual rows or locking the whole table.
Now, here's a problem. You may have several rows within a single page. Also,
if you're using an identity column as a primary key, and you've defined a
clustered index on that column, each insert will be physically located right
after the previous insert. So, if you have one page with one row being
inserted, and that page gets locked, and the database wants to write the
next row to the same page due to the clustered index (which by definition
matches the physical sort order of the column) that second write may be
delayed, and if the database is busy enough, that may cause problems. I've

Re: TIP: Checking to see if dynamic variable exists
Well that is fine if you know PART of the form.variable name as var_ and that the last part would ALWAYS be a number. Use this case if you do not know at all what the form.variables would be as well as outputting the variable name on the page. cfoutput cfif isdefined(form.fieldnames) cfloop index=frmItem list=#form.fieldnames# !--- Use this to output all elements --- FORM ELEMENT: #frmItem# br FORM VALUE: cfif #Evaluate(form. frmItem)# NEQ '' #Evaluate(form. frmItem)# /cfif /cfloop /cfif /cfoutput Might need to double check the syntax but did that off the top of my head. Randy Adkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/17/02 12:10 PM Hopefully this is useful to some newbies (including myself). Lets say Forms are dynamically created and named on a page..(ex. Form.var_1, Form.var_2, etc.) Lets also say that one of those forms is a checkbox or radio, and they don't have to be checked or clicked...which means that the variable won't exist, (unlike text fields, where the formfield variable will exist even if left blank) So in order to do something with the information passed to the next page, you have to call it by its variablebut you might run into a problem if that variable never existed in the first place. Secondly, you don't know the name of that variable, since it was dynamically created! this is the basic way to check for it... CFIF isdefined(form.var_index) Let's say there are 4 form fields, but only 3 form variables were passed. Form.var_1, form.var_2, and form.var_4 You would put that check inside a loop CFLOOP index=index from=1 to=4 CFIF isdefined(form.var_index) DO and perform stuff /CFIF /CFLOOP thats how ya do it.

CF_DEBUG Beta 2 Released
CF-Talk, We have created a unique tool for debugging ColdFusion applications, CF_DEBUG. This tag allows developers to organize, manage and maintain their debugging code within an application without placing this information directly in structured HTML layout and CF code. CF_DEBUG will also allow developers to leave debugging information an application when deploying. This can be very helpful for other developers working on an application, as well as aleviating the need to re-write debug code when developing further on an application. Download a copy of the Beta 2 Release here: http://www.brdwrks.com/v4/index.cfm?fuseaction=Developer Here are some examples of the tag in use: http://beta.brdwrks.com/v4/ http://beta.brdwrks.com/v4/index.cfm?fuseaction=DoesNotExist http://beta.brdwrks.com/v4/controller/getimage.cfm?image=../images/dynamic/badimage.gif * NOTE the orange handle at the top left We appreciate feedback, so please let us know what you think.

Re: cfreport
Ken,
We gave up on CF Report. It's very limited too.
We use Recrystallize from http//:www.recrystallize.com. It's a wizard that
produces the input and processing pages in ASP. We scrap the input forms and
redo them with CF and point them to the ASP processing pages which cause the
report to open with a viewer of your choice -- Java or ActiveX.
Note you will need Crystal Developers Edition on your server.
Might be worth a look.

Hello all,
I am having trouble with the cfreport tag. I'm trying to connect to an
oracle db, and I have created a dsn using the crystal reports oracle 8
driver, which is verified as working in the cf administrator.
this is what the CF5 docs say:
cfreport report = '/reports/monthlysales.rpt'
{Departments.Department} = 'International'
/cfreport
and then on the same page but different they say:
cfreport report = report_path
orderBy = result_order
username = username
password = password
formula = formula
/cfreport
when i try this:
cfreport report=dailytimesheets.rpt username=cf
password=fusion/cfreport
it can't find the report, even though the cfm and the rpt files are in the
same directory.
when i do this:
cfreport report=D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt
username=cf password=fusion/cfreport
I get the error:
Error occurred while processing CFREPORT
An unexpected error occurred while using the Crystal Engine.
Error number 692 ocurred (Error in File
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\kenbeard\dailytimesheets.rpt: Invalid export DLL or

My thinking is that the cfdocs are just plain wrong and my syntax is
right..
but I must be missing something.
All help is appreciated.

Well, I've no firm idea about the letter of the law on this, but to me you may as well be asking if walking into a supermarket and taking a bag of apples without paying for them is illegal! Further, even if there's some legal loophole you can jump through, IMHO it's *wrong* to do something like this. If you think the people whose stuff you're using wouldn't mind, I'd at least get in touch with them to confirm. If you think they *would* mind... well, you've kind of answered your own question there ;-) - Gyrus - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: Windows - pesky folders
It could be that they installed something that is using those directories and that is why you cannot delete them if your logged in with the admin account. -Shawn Regan -Original Message- From: Van Vliet, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 11:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Windows - pesky folders Similar thing happened to me.

Subject: UDFs in a Custom Tag problem
Hello developers,
I'm writing a custom tag, and I've written some UDFs to clean up some of the
code within the custom tag. Only the custom tag uses these UDFs - they're
pretty specialized - so I thought it would be easiest to just put them right
inside the template for the custom tag. Here's my general structure:
cfif thistag.executionmode EQ start
cfscript
function IsOperator( value ) {
blah blah blah;
return something;
}
/cfscript
more code
/cfif
cfif thistag.executionmode EQ end
some output, etc.
/cfif
I get this error:
Routines cannot be declared more than once. The routine IsOperator has been
declared twice in different templates.
I have found that this error occurs at the very beginning of the end
ExecutionMode of the tag.
I can't figure out how to stop this error. Any ideas? Thanks

RE: Windows - pesky folders
See if you can change the Attributes. Also make sure there are no hidden files or folders in it.

RE: [SOT] CF on OS X... just venting
Can you rack-mount those new iMacs? Yes, now you can... and quite nicely! http://www.apple.com/xserve/ I was counting the minutes until you posted this! I am not up on server prices, but I imagine the latest from apple are competitive on p/p, no? Close, but until the hardware-based SCSI RAID 5 is available (I don't think it is, yet), I reserve judgment. I still don't think these are going to displace Intel or SPARC servers to any significant degree, even if I think they're technically pretty good. I'm waiting to hear how you got CF MX working on OS X, though - we're getting a new OS X TiBook here in a couple of weeks, and I might give it a whirl.

I've got one - it uses JavaScript to rotate the ads, has a manager, click tracker and allows for local or affiliate ads from other sources.

Want to eliminate the Evaluate
There's got to be another way to do this.
Any ideas?
cfloop list='#form.fieldNames#' index=x
cfset fieldName = '#x#'
cfset fieldValue = #evaluate('form.#x#')#
#fieldname# = #fieldValue#br
