Pause running code

2004-12-15 Thread office
Is there a simple way to pause a CF page for a set time at some point in the 
code then continue running it. I seem to remember seeing how to do this on a 
forum once - but can't find any reference. 

any help much appreciated.

Re: Pause running code

2004-12-15 Thread office
Thanks for the very helpful replies

I want to use this function for a workflow engine - where no user is 
present just for running various housekeeping tasks and grabbing XML 
webservices... so there would most likely be only 1 thread sleeping where 
required. Its on a hosted CFMX6.1. Would a hosted box throw a wobbly using 
martins sleeping function???

Mike if you want a Kiwi-friendly CFMX host that is economical and will
offer you everything you need as a CF developer - including CFMX,
SQLServer2000, plus PHP, .ASP,NET, PERL,  FrontPage (if you're a
thrillseeker) full control panel for administering your own sites, 
unlimited subdomains,  any number of email accounts - perfect for
staging sites, dev sites and production sites,   take a look at our
offerings http://afpwebworks.com.

We're mainly CFMX developers ourselves so we understand that what you
might need as a developer isnt quite the same as you want for small
business sites.  So we have very few restrictions.  We set up a CF
mapping for every site as a matter of routine, so you can use CFCs
easily and CFINCLUDES  - stuff like that.

And we won't nickel and dime you to death.  Once we settle on a
monthly fee for your setup, that's all we charge.  You dont get
charged a dollar for this and two bucks for that.  Need more disk
space? Just go to the control panel and get it.  Thats it.

Have a look.   Http://afpwebworks.com 

(and I'm a Kiwi myself. I talk NZ language even though I've lived in
Australia for the last couple of decades.)

I'm also working in a shared hosted environment which has a big heap of SQL

Been interesting following the list recommendations on CFMX hosting. The prices

I think this is a Microsoft design problem, I use another hosting company and 
enterprise manager to connect to SQL server and although there certainly aren't 
as many as 5,000 databases listed there it is a pain.(next time I'll count 
them to see!)

Thanks Hugo

a very useful link - I'll read every page.

Has anyone used PostgreSQL as the database backend on ArcIMS. I see PostgreSQL

It would be nice to use CFMX + ArcSDE + ArcIMS + PostgreSQL

Re: PostgreSQL database size

2004-11-29 Thread Office
very interesting stuff

Our issues are to do with history. NZERN has built this working legacy app 
(2000 pg's spagetti code) and is putting up a cheap to run mapservice using 
mapserver on another box. ESRI donated all the goodies couple weeks back (SDE, 
ArcIMS, ArcInfo9 etc) but I figure it will probably take 18 months to get that 
up on-line and working. The mapserver site will then migrate to ArcIMS.

I've seen flash interfaces on ArcIMS and they seem to run much faster than the 
java stuff. Our main website which is a content management system runs on CF 
and we are hoping to put up an alternative flash remoting interface on that for 
users who want it. The CMS will call and insert the maps into the CMS pages 
both cf and flash. Well thats the idea.

that's easy enough. we use cf to build url calls & then shoot them at 
the mapserver CGI using cfhttp. use cf to parse the response (like in 
the bad old IMS days). long ago we actually built a cfx_mapserver tag 
but it was flaky (mainly because mapserver itself was not thread safe) & 
broke other stuff (SDE functionality for instance).

not for anything spatial. we're still on arcGIS 8.x. there is no java 
API for pre-9 arcSDE and frankly i think it wouldn't be as elegant as 
postGIS's sql. that can go right into cfquery, no fuss, no muss. mind 
you i don't mind making java calls (that's how we talk to arcIMS) just 
that having the ability to make a simple sql call to do some spatial 
work is pretty cool.

> where is the boundary between CF and mapserver and flash

we haven't used the mapserver/flash functionality much. when we looked 
at it when it first came out, seemed like we couldn't control very much. 
if you're getting all that esri s/w for free, why aren't you using 
arcIMS? i don't like the cfx tag much but the java connector works a 
treat from mx.

Thats the answer I was hoping for. We have a hosted server running 
PostgreSQL/PostGIS/Mapserver running at www.gis.bush.org.nz hosting by 
limelyte. But no inhouse experience with even installing PostgreSQL.

We use MSDE2 inhouse but it has a 2GB limit. Being able to integrate CF with 
mapserver would be fantastic.

Paul - are you querying ArcSDE with CF directly. ESRI have donated  ArcSDE so

yeah, it's pretty slick. i've been a long-long time user of commercial 
GIS database products (mainly arcSDE) and to be able to use cf to run 
spatial queries is pretty freaking fantastic:



  SELECT provinceName
  FROM provinces
  WHERE CONTAINS(the_geom, GeometryFromText('POINT(100.65 13.85)')


and to top it off it can output results as SVG.

Re: PostgreSQL database size

2004-11-28 Thread Office
Thanks for your help Ubqtous

I have a large 60GB data set of land parcel and related information for NZ 
which has to be imported from some kind of txt files. One table is apparently 5 
GB. The data then needs to be transformed and then accessed via cold fusion on 
an in house server.

I've seen reviews claiming that MySQL and PostgreSQL fall over at the 100GB 
limit - so kind of curious about the truth in that.

I notice that Macromedia don't include PostgreSQL as a supported database fof 
Coldfusion MX6.1 Server but Bluedragon do.

Hmmm curious

Perhaps you're looking for testimonials, but according to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html:

4.5) What is the maximum size for a row, a table, and a database?

These are the limits:

Maximum size for a database? unlimited (32 TB databases exist)
Maximum size for a table?32 TB
Maximum size for a row?  1.6TB
Maximum size for a field?1 GB
Maximum number of rows in a table?   unlimited
Maximum number of columns in a table?250-1600 depending on column types
Maximum number of indexes on a table?unlimited

Of course, these are not actually unlimited, but limited to available
disk space and memory/swap space. Performance may suffer when these
values get unusually large.

The maximum table size of 32 TB does not require large file support
from the operating system. Large tables are stored as multiple 1 GB
files so file system size limits are not important.

The maximum table size and maximum number of columns can be quadrupled
by increasing the default block size to 32k.

Re: Re templates held in database

Thats 400 cf content templates replacing 50,000 static web pages. There are
another 200 CF tempates as well.
Coldfusion has been our salvation. It really is great. The SQL 7 database
sitting behind it has 370 tables, another 400 GIS data tables to add later
this year.

I'm teaching myself as I go. I'm looking for ways to make this website (with
200 applications accessable to members) managable. At the Macromedia MX
launch in Christchurch today, I became convinced to add fusebox 2 by talking

It sounds as if you don't need a database-driven site.  I see no reason
to 'build' 400 separate / independent pages just to store the data in a
database.
  If lots of the data is similar, and you only have to build 10 or 20
templates, that might be a different story.
  Are these 400 pages of data unique?  Are they related in some way that
would give you benefits of using a database?

Re templates held in database

2002-06-23 Thread NZERN National Office

It is tags.
Perhaps there is another way to approach this. The website uses a standard
CF template that includes 3 other templates using CFInclude (top, footer,
bar) plus one with the content that is always different. The Content
template querys are different, layout is different, some are lists, other
based on a row in table. As Matthew said I could put all the content
templates in a folder and reference them by templateID. I have 400 such
content templates, so I'm trying to figure out a way to keep things
manageable.

Any advice is really welcome

It does sound a bit clumsy. I guess the question to the original poster is
what type of CF code is he going to store. If its not tags, then no problem.
And placing it in the DB simply involves escaping the pound signs (using ##)
so that the function/variable is not evaluated yet.

Hi

My question. Is it possible to store the contents of a CF template in a SQL7
table, insert that into another template with a query and for it to work? If
it does, are there any restictions.

Setting locale in application.cfm for DateFormat

(I'm having problems getting my head round this)

I want to insert dates into SQL7 tables (Hosting Server Locale is default or

The form I'm using puts it into the table as 3/1/2002

I want to set Locale to English(New Zealand) in application.cfm at root dir
so all forms with dates work correctly

Hi I'm trying to install coldfusion-60-win-en.exe, and I keep getting a

"Error 1335 Data1.cab is corrupt + cannot be used."

I've downloaded it a second time, but it still isn't working.

The file is  coldfusion-60-win-en.exe, size  77.6 MB (81,453,056 bytes)
and the md5sum is

Anyone else get this error? Chould someone send me the md5sum of their 
working install exe, so I can see if my copy is currupt ?

Please cc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I'm on the digest version.

That's the English (United States) locale. 2057 is the English
(British). 5129 is English (New Zealand). It's used for setting
appropriate format for displaying dates, currency, numbers - e.g.
mm/dd/, dd.mm., /mm/dd, etc

Re: Maps

Hi Dave

That seems a very workable solution. We have 2 sites. The main site is
50,000 static pages plus images. The coldfusion site and database back ends
it within frames and is totally dynamic. I guess the CF site can mine the
static one for maps with the system you suggest.

Thanks
Mike

You can give each map an X,Y coordinate number. Have a table with MAPID,
XCord, YCord and FileName as the columns. Then, you can surround each map
with links to the adjoining X,Y coords, hit the database to get the file
names. You can populate the links dynamically using whatever sequencing
method you use to assign the X,Y coordinates to each map.

Thanks Len for your suggestion

We will still use ArcIMS accessed via a password area for community groups
to change their maps. This will be hosted elsewhere. ESRI has been helping
us out so would be a bit opportunist to "jump ship".

The maps will be batch generated and stored as static jpeg files accessed
via the coldfusion site for general public to look at or download.

We have a solution dynamic mapping for Coldfusion using MapInfo as a
dynamic map generator. the maps are gifs drawn in real time. zoom in/out,
pan, find nearest, populate the map with various POI, etc, etc. it's of
course an OEM tool need integration with your specific maps.

as you must know, access sucks at any volume. I doubt the rate of queries
to support our dynamic mapping solution will be supported by Access.

For our CF MapInfo dynamic GIS, you'd need MapInfo MapxSite license, plus
our stuff. not cheap.

I wrote a program to batch schedule prize giveaways on a specific basis.

Basically what I did, was once the user chose how they wanted to repeat t

The New Zealand Ecological Restoration Network Website at www.bush.org.nz
is
currently being
moved over to ColdFusion. ColdFusion is a great tool!

We have the same need with events having patterns.
Our solution so far is to have a one form for one off events and another
for
regular events with
a pattern. The data goes back into one table.

There is a second table for the specific occurance.

A volunteer manually enters all the repeat occurances of a regular event.

Its a real hassle. Would be nice to be able to automate this too

To you too Mike, I am in Victoria so I am not affected but I feel for
those that do live in those areas.

I actually did something similar for Siemens Corporation about 2 years
ago, for their intranet. Mike I would use three filed one to decide the
date it was created, then the type (which could be a list) to determine
the period the event needs to be displayed and maybe one so that it
can't be displayed past this date.

The other thing to keep in mind that each event can be located in one
table, then use a unique user ID that would then identify who the event
belongs to as well. Sorry seeing words on a screen really doesn't help,
but hopefully we can help you out more.

We have the same need with events having patterns.
Our solution so far is to have a one form for one off events and another for
regular events with
a pattern. The data goes back into one table.

There is a second table for the specific occurance.

A volunteer manually enters all the repeat occurances of a regular event.

Its a real hassle. Would be nice to be able to automate this too

To you too Mike, I am in Victoria so I am not affected but I feel for
those that do live in those areas.

I actually did something similar for Siemens Corporation about 2 years
ago, for their intranet. Mike I would use three filed one to decide the
date it was created, then the type (which could be a list) to determine
the period the event needs to be displayed and maybe one so that it
can't be displayed past this date.

The other thing to keep in mind that each event can be located in one
table, then use a unique user ID that would then identify who the event
belongs to as well. Sorry seeing words on a screen really doesn't help,
but hopefully we can help you out more.

Andrew, Kym, thanks for your interest in my problem. Happy New Year to
y
ou.
I'm not sure where in Oz you are Andrew, but I hope neither of you are
be
ing
barbecued right now in Sydney. It's a worry for me out here in Windsor,

but
thankfully we haven't been directly threatened by the fire yet, although
some of our friends have had to evacuate their homes up in Kurrajong.


The site in question is www.bluegrass.org.au .. it's a directory of
bluegrass music and events in Australia. At the moment I'm keeping it
up
to
date by editing all the pages myself, using simple html for the most
part.
(there are some dynamic aspects to the site but the events listings are
a
ll
manually created).

Single events, like a concert, I have set up ok. I enter the location
an
d
other details and the date in my SQL database and the listing appears in

the
relevant state pages and disappears after the event is over.

Now I want to do a similar thing with regular events, such as monthly
association meetings, or regular jam sessions (which could be on the
seco
nd
Tuesday of the month say) and I want to allow people around the country
t
hat
I authorise to be able to update listings in their areas. So this
mean
s I
cant have it with all these people (with greater or lesser
understandings
of
html) tinkering with the pages directly. I have to do it by giving them

a
form and the database to get the dynamic updates happening.

So I'd like to give them a form where they can enter the location and
tim
es
and other details of the event, and for the date, let them choose either
specific dates, or a pattern, such as "monthly on the first Friday" or
"fortnightly on Saturday" IT's this aspect I'm not sure how to do.

In my processing of the form, should I insert these "monthly on the
first
Friday" details into the database or convert them to specific dates at
th
at
time.

Or should I pull these events out every time the page is called, and
work
out what events are coming up in the next month, based on the specific
da
te
listings, and the periodic listings?

Does that make it clearer?

Cheers,

I am a bit like Andrew, I would like to know more about the thing in
term
s
of size, business of the servers, etc. You can do more work in CF and
put
a
set of events in the DB but it will be bigger as a result but the
queries
a
lot simpler compared with calculating it on the fly every time.

BTW if you are showing the event for a month before, then clearing it,
ho
w
are you going to handle a weekly event :^)
