Re: IIS/Index Server/CF and ASP
I had thought something similiar. In fact, other colleagues have said
pretty much the same thing. Two things about this strategy are unclear to
me.
1) Index server IS cataloging CFM pages so even if I knew where there was
such a list, adding it may or may not have an impact on the output.
2) When creating an index there are a very limited number of items to
configure. Since you point it to a specific web site running on IIS I
assume that IIS must be telling it to some degree that CFM pages are to be
treated like HTM pages.
Now I notice that MS Word Docs are also returned, but likewise have no
DOCTITLE. So I think you're definitely pointing in the right direction to
say Index Server doesn't recognize the same file structure as HTM so doesn't
know how to populate DOCTITLE.
I don't know enough about ASP, but there must be some way to say:
Any suggestions?

IIS/Index Server/CF and ASP
This is going to be broad, but is based on a CF problem I am having.
I have an ASP search page which is referencing Index Server catalogs. It's
a standard one I found and I believe is commonly used. I can provide the
whole code if necessary.
The Index Server appears to be cataloging both HTML and CFML pages
correctly. The search results page returns both HTML and CFML
appropriately. The problem is that CFM pages don't have the DOCTITLE
information appearing. It is simply blank. This is information that would
be contained within .
Here's the output code for searchresults.asp:
Response.write """ & oRS("doctitle") & """
I have confirmed that the CFM pages do indeed contain valid TITLE data.
This is happening to all CFM pages and no HTM pages.
Anyone have any insight? Thanks!

Bulletproof processing - Ensuring Safe CC transactions
I am developing a nightly batch process which will process CC's through Verisign, then update records as approved in order to release back orders which have had inventory replenished. The process is simple enough, though I need to ensure reliable recovery should something go wrong. I'm looking for additional suggestions, or insight into the process which I may be missing. Here's my outline: 1) Query orders to be released 2) Write a text log of invoices which are expected to be processed (record count, row number, invoice ID, customer number, amount) 3) Send CC to Verisign, get approval for each transaction, write to log with row number, invoice ID, customer ID, verisign reference number 4) Update Database with approval info, write to log indicating db has been updated. 5) When ALL transactions have completed, mark log as completed, indicate approvals and denials, 6) Generate email sent to me and others indicating entire process was complete along with transaction statistics. The log is written AFTER each step in this process so that it can be reviewed to determine which invoice failed, and at what point it failed. Also, I will be wrapping this in TRY/CATCH with error reporting to provide further details. This should catch most errors that pop up (crabby DBA can't sleep and decides to do server maintenance in the middle of the night and shuts down server?) But there are those extreme occasions when CF simply restarts itself. Anyone else have these? TRY/CATCH won't catch this behavior. This is the thing that worries me most. I will have the log to show where a transactions fails, but in the event of a shut down, no other info. Am I worrying too much? Am I missing something?

CFDIRECTORY - previous & next
I've been noodling around with a photo gallery which relies on Picasa2 to create thumbs and web friendly images. The app use cfdirectory to read the list of jpegs in any given directory making it easy to add and delete at will without updating the static HTML pages Picasa2 generates. It's basic, but works well. My app is three basic pages. A page which lists folders. A page which lists thumbnails when the user chooses a folder, and of course a page which shows the large image when the user clicks on one of the thumbnails. I've been wanting to add a PREVIOUS - NEXT feature on the main image page so the user doesn't have to always hit BACK to the thumbs to navigate to the next image. I don't see any way of using CFDIRECTORY to determine which file is next based on the current position. I'm guessing that I will have to create a list of filenames and keep it in a session so that I can call the filename based on list position. Any other theories?

RE: How does CF Mail Server Work?
In the past I have used something similar to throttle emails that are sent. With CFMX I it wasn't necessary as it was in previous versions. Maybe it's time to bring it back. My IT guy who has dealt with similar AOL issues has indicated that he never got a clear answer from AOL on what would trigger email being blocked. He even seemed to indicate that it can depend on which server of their cluster happens to handle your emails. Sometimes it gets blocked, other times not. Has anyone seen a good resource that might indicate how many is too many for AOL and others in a bulk email?

How does CF Mail Server Work?
My site sends a fairly large number of emails on a daily basis. In addition to newsletters that are sent to subscribers there are notifications of a variety of types (message board, requests for info, registrations, etc) As the newsletter subscriber list grows I am trying to manage it better by unsubscribing users that have email addresses that are no longer valid. I have written a script that reads bounced messages, finds the email address, matches it against certain tables and takes the appropriate action. This part works ok. But I am noticing that all AOL users and large groups of other domains are all rejected. The bounced message doesn't say why. Just that delivery failed. When I send an email via my personal account to an address (AOL) that was rejected when it came from the web site it appears to be received ok. The two email addresses I am sending from have the same domain so I don't think that that whole domain or IP has been blacklisted. Also, in the event viewer I see errors like "Could not connect to domain xxx.com" which I don't understand. System is Win2000, CFMX 6.1 Enterprise using Windows mail server. I realize this question is vague but the gist is this: What is mail server doing that needs to connect to a domain in order to delivery an email? Could this be what is causing some mails to be rejected? Could a specific address be blocked (note: messages that are bounced because of suspected spam have a different message) ? Thanks.

RE: Comparing two records within the query
Thanks for your help on this. I am pretty sure I have the query down as I need. I used a variation of your UNION'ed query.

RE: Comparing two records within the query
Yes, this is exactly the thing I'm looking for. This works, though I am not getting all rows returned and I haven't quite figured why yet. I hate to rely on the titles being exactly the same.

Re: Comparing two records within the query
That may be possible. Though it's not always up to me to get the marketing dept and the DB people to do work so my life is easier. Nonetheless...The basic nature of this kind of compare is eluding me.

Comparing two records within the query
Here's the dilemna: I have a catalog of videos I want to list. The product ID's indicate whether the video is VHS or DVD. For example -01 = The Teletubbies meet Jason (VHS) -03 = The Teletubbies meet Jason (DVD). Two records for each title if available in both media. In the list I want only one record displayed, the user chooses via radio button VHS or DVD. But not all title are available in both formats. They could be either, or, or both. So the record would be displayed as: Title - Media (if only one) Choose media (if both) - $price In the query, how can I create a flag that indicates that an id number has a partner record which indicates a video is available in both formats?

CFHTTP, Struts and some other stuff...
I apologize in advance if my question isn't detailed. I confess I'm not too familiar with an application I inherited but still must troubleshoot. I have an app written in a combo of CF (CFMX 6.1 on Win2000, IIS) and Java using struts. Most of the work is being done in Java with CF doing the output and controls. The calls are mostly being made via CFHTTP and output with CFHTTP.Filecontent. The problem is the app runs EXTREMELY slow. I am having a hard time debugging where the bottleneck is. Whether it's the queries, which don't show in CF debug since they're done in java, or whether it's a throughput issue resulting from passing too much data through CFHTTP. Any guidance on where to get info to help debug is greatly appreciated. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Thanks all for the suggestions. In my experience, my best candidates have been those with whom I've been able to have good discussions with. My interviews are very informal. As one suggestion noted, though someone might not know what MVC stands for, if they can articulate work they've done that results in a certain method, then they probably can produce good code.

How to output last line first
Has anyone tried to present the output of a process so that the last line is at the top of the page? For example, I have a process that runs through thousands of records, I want the user to observe the results of each record. In the CFLOOP I can CFFLUSH and print the results, but by default each new line is at the bottom of the page, thus creating a situation where the user will have to scroll to the end repeatedly. But if that last result is printed at the top, the first records completed will be pushed to the bottom of the page and the user will not need to scroll at all. Thanks.

This thread has been interesting for a number of reasons. I read most of the posts offered on this list because there is quite often a nugget of knowledge I glean whether the thread addresses a specific issue I happen to be dealing with. I've learned a lot from those of you who have been most vocal on this issue. I wouldn't pretend to be qualified enough to know the intent of MM's decision to use one methodology or one technology over another.

>It's not a bug in CFMX, but rather your app. If your app thinks "foo@ >bar.com" or "foo@@bar.com" is a valid email address and lets someone enter >it, your app is broke. I don't agree fully with this. While I validate new emails on the forms I create, I don't always have control over new data. Lists can be imported, other staff can access the database from the backend etc. Old bad data lives on despite our best efforts. I got hit with this one immediately after upgrading to 6.0. I'm surprised more people haven't complained. But I addressed it as an annoyance, validated emails as they are being input AND as they are being sent, and flagged bad ones to not be sent to in the future. It was surprising that what seemed to work well in 4.5 didn't work well in MX. But, for me it was an education, I wasn't diligent enough about allowing garbage in.

Thanks- I've got a couple options to import the file directly into the db without using cffile. That's a good thing.

One is an expensive utilitiy from http://www.softartisans.com/. I've also seen a couple applets that can read a file size before it's uploaded but they require the user to download the applet first.

Querying a Text File vs An MS Access Table
I am building an application where users can upload a comma delimited text file to a unique user directory then retrieve the data from it for later use. The structure of the file will be pre-defined and the users must follow that format. Field names are included in the first row. I had intentionally decided not to import that data from the text file into a table because of the file size. Reading the contents of a file with CFFILE puts the entire contents into a variable which takes up memory. 100 users all working with 10 meg files at the same time could cause a problem. But I am finding that no host will offer to support a text ODBC connection. I even had one tell me it couldn't be done. Also, a few have stated that querying a text file is too flaky to be considered reliable. Has anyone had any experience similar to this? Am I worrying about using too much RAM unnecessarily? Perhaps a more efficient way to get the contents of the text file other than CFFILE? Thanks! BG _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Hey all! I am building an application that will accept comma delimited files of a standard format from a variety of users which need to be processed and inserted into a database. My concern is the text files may at some point in the future become too large to "Read" using CFFILE since this tag stores the contents in memory. What would be considered too big? By my guesstimating a 5meg text file roughly equals 70K records (the size I expect to see initially). 100 users could be uploading and processing at the same time meaning 500meg of RAM is being utilized. My server has 1 gig of RAM so this doesn't appear problematic at the moment. Am I considering all the important angles? I read about a possible alternative in the archives making the uploaded text file a datasource. An interesting option but I don't see how that would work considering I will have multiple users running concurrently. Each uploaded file would need to be named uniquely with the user's User_ID and Session info. Any other options? Thanks!

Troubleshooting Performance - CFMX
Can someone tell me if they've seen the following behavior and if this is normal. All of this is related to the CPU maxxing out at 100% and the whole JRUN.exe problem. The following situation is easily repeatable on my server: I monitor Task Manager and CFSTAT at the same time. When CPU usage stays in the 75%-100% range, requests running NEVER goes below 1. Frequently it rises until the 25 limit where they go to queue. At this point I turn off IIS and the CPU stays the same, roughly 50%-75% and Requests Running will eventually dwindle back to one. But never back to zero. How can a web server, which is not serving ANY pages to ANYONE, see such CPU use? And what request remains? There is no other activity on this box when IIS is off. I've tried nearly all the suggeestions I've read, except for uninstalling and reinstalling IIS. I've got updated Oracle drivers, I've updated to Sun's JRE 1.4, I've got all the updaters, all the IIS patches... I'm at a loss. Even those who have paid MM for tech support don't seem to have an answer. Any ideas? Thanks! BG _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

RE: Web Server Machine Specs
Yes, thanks. I have seen that too with a bad connection between Oracle and the web server. I should have noted it is an IIS/Win2000 box. CFMX with all the updaters. Task manager shows jrun.exe to be the worst culprit of usage.

OT: Web Server Machine Specs
I've got a web server that has been running well until recently. Suddenly I see maxed out CPU usage and CFSTAT shows requests go to queue frequently which results in bad lag on the site. There hasn't been any significant change I can track to this. I'm wondering if the machine has simply lived it's useful life. Site stats: 12 million hits/month 350K user sessions/month Heavy CF use The machine is a Dell, dual pentium 800's, 2 gig ram. Memory usage is nill.
