Re: CFQUERY Timeout for SQL2005 Fails
Anyone? Bueller? I really need an answer to this -- even though I'm running Fusion Reactor and can keep a survival strategy, this is no way to keep a server running. Is there anyone out there who's successfully used the TIMEOUT parameter in CFQUERY with CFMX 7.0.2 and SQL 2005 Standard? Hi Casey, What happened today is that the SQL server basically locked up. CF kept waiting for the request to come back, but it never did because it just hung infinititely. It seems as if CF waits forever in a case like this, so it's vital that I can kill the connection from the CFQUERY. The real query I run returns usually within milliseconds, about 75ms at most. So this is something that is out of the ordinary, but I want to prevent it from happening in the future. Is there a way?

Re: CFQUERY Timeout for SQL2005 Fails
Mark and Casey, Thanks for clarifying this for me. I don't own the SQL Server that I need to hit, so it looks like I'm between a rock and a hard place. I still don't think the TIMEOUT parameter is working, though. In my example, I'm hitting a database that is fully operational, and I have a query that runs for about 3.5 seconds. However, I have the TIMEOUT param set to 1, so shouldn't it time out in exactly 1 second and return an error? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321612 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: CFQUERY Timeout for SQL2005 Fails
Also -- this may just be me being dense, but I don't get why the TIMEOUT feature in CFQUERY has to work this way. It's CF that's making the initial request to the datasource, so it should start counting down from the moment it creates that request. And then after waiting for a predetermined point of time (in my case, 1 second), it should sever the connection if the connection still exists and return an error. Is there another way this can be handled? Like I said, CFSETTING is also useless in this example, since it, too, has to wait for the CFQUERY to end. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321613 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: CFQUERY Timeout for SQL2005 Fails
Hi Mark, To answer your question -- there's a DDL transaction that's running on the server, and from what the folks have told me, an ALTER TABLE command was causing the lock to occur. And the downside is that giving hints (i.e., WITH (NOLOCK)) is not going to have an effect in this situation. Working for a large corporation, I often do not have control over the databases that are in the company. So as much as I'd love to fix the issue, I can't. I'm sure we've all been there. This is why it's imperative that CF has the ability to protect itself against underperforming datasources. - Sung The query timeout is not designed to work when there is no connection at all to the DB server. It is designed to time the statement - so if the connection itself is lost the setting will not have any affect. In affect you have an orphaned thread out there that is taking up space in the running request queue. The big question is why do you lose connection? Networking? Overloaded SQL server? That's where you need to focus I think. -Mark Mark A. Kruger, CFG, MCSE (402) 408-3733 ext 105 www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com www.necfug.com Anyone? Bueller?

Re: CFQUERY Timeout for SQL2005 Fails
Check this out. This one, as I've said before, outputs a number around 3000. cfquery name=test datasource=dsn timeout=1 select top 2 * from table/cfquery cfoutput#cfquery.ExecutionTime#/cfoutput However, this one results in an error: Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Execution timeout expired. cfquery name=test datasource=dsn timeout=1 select top 1 * from table waitfor delay '00:00:05' /cfquery cfoutput#cfquery.ExecutionTime#/cfoutput Porbably because the query in the second test ran under a second (completed successfully), then it waited five seconds. I read that portion of the docs, too, but I thought it meant if you'd strung more than a single SQL statement -- i.e., SELECT/INSERT/SELECT. Regardless, I think it's terrible that there isn't more substantial control over this. Shouldn't CF know how long a 3rd-party request is taking? There's a timeout parameter in CFHTTP, and it works just fine: wait.cfm cfset thread = CreateObject(java, java.lang.Thread) cfset thread.sleep(1) test.cfm cfhttp url=wait.cfm method=GET timeout=1 /cfhttp cfdump var=#CFHTTP# Result, in about two seconds: Statuscode 408 Request Time-out Which leads me to believe that the connection was indeed broken and CF completed the thread. And that's a 3rd-party call, too, isn't it? The docs say, no, it may not timeout at 1 second. Check out the livedocs... Because the timeout attribute only affects the maximum time for each suboperation of a query, the cumulative time may exceed its value. And, even then, the query stuff is considered to be 3rd party (or at least, so I remember reading a ways back) and does not fall under the same rules as CF templates when it comes to setting a timeout using CFsetting or by way of the administrator. The best way to kill those hung threads is going to be something like FusionReactor or SeeFusion.

Re: The request has exceeded the allowable time limit
How long do you expect the job to take to complete? 2 hours seems way too
long for an http request to run.
How many templates are involved?
Hi Neil,
At this point, I don't expect the job to take any more than 15 minutes. I
currently have around 750 records, and at the 10-minute mark, it gets to about
450.
It's entirely possible for the transaction to take 2 hours, though, down the
road. The script runs when nobody is on the server, so load is not an issue.
I'm pulling in 5 other templates. For each record, it takes 2 seconds to run.
Here's a snippet of the log file:
{ts '2007-06-12 22:33:38'}: Start 1
{ts '2007-06-12 22:33:40'}: End 1
{ts '2007-06-12 22:33:40'}: Start 2
{ts '2007-06-12 22:33:42'}: End 2
{ts '2007-06-12 22:33:42'}: Start 3
{ts '2007-06-12 22:33:44'}: End 3
..
..
..
{ts '2007-06-12 22:43:36'}: Start 574
{ts '2007-06-12 22:43:37'}: End 574
{ts '2007-06-12 22:43:37'}: Start 575
{ts '2007-06-12 22:43:38'}: error 575
You can see here that exactly at 10 minutes, the script halts.
Is there some other setting in jrun.xml or something that I'm missing?

Like most CF transactions, I consider anything longer than 250ms to be ugly, but I have to make an exception in this case.

Re: The request has exceeded the allowable time limit
Looks like my reply got hosed somehow. In any case, to make a long story short, two of the DBs I hit come with some ugly latency, so 2 seconds is the best I can do. I always try to hit 250ms or less in anything I do in CF, but sometimes exceptions have to be made. CF Admin can't be the issue -- I have a 60-second limit on templates, but that's meaningless when you have cfsetting requesttimeout=xxx on the page. If there's no solution to this, then I'll need to run the script in steps -- 300 or 400 records at a time.

Is it just me or is Flash CFGRID's date sorting all screwed up? Here's my code: cfgridcolumn name=date_modified header=Date Modified type=STRING_NOCASE mask=MM/DD/YY LL:NNAA width=130 It does work -- eventually. I have to click on the heading three times -- after the third, it sorts correctly every time I click on it (ascending and descending). I have similar issues with sorting checkboxes (BOOLEAN).

Turning the XML Contents of a SOAP Envelope into a Structure?
Hi folks, I'm using CFINVOKE and CFHTTP to send SOAP-enveloped XML data to a server. Once the transaction is complete, the server sends me a response, also in SOAP-enveloped XML, like this one: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; soap:Body CreateServiceRequestResponse xmlns=http://tempuri.org/; ServiceResponse xmlns='http://www.site.com' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' ServiceRequestID1/ServiceRequestID ResponseCodeS001/ResponseCode DescriptionThe Service request was submitted successfully/Description /ServiceResponse /soap:Body /soap:Envelope What I want to do is store the ServiceRequestID, ResponseCode, and Description into a table for logging purposes. Sorry if this is such a rudimentary question, but this is the first full-blown SOAP/XML transaction I'm doing, and it's been a bit of a learning experience. I'm guessing it involves WDDX somehow, to turn this XML into a structure (which I can then simply insert into a SQL table) but if somebody can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. - Sung ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259615 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Turning the XML Contents of a SOAP Envelope into a Structure ?
Sorry for the confusion -- I'm using CFINVOKE to run the web service on my end, to generate the XML. Then I'm using CFHTTP to send the XML data to the other server. I'm using CFINVOKE and CFHTTP to send SOAP-enveloped XML data to a server. I'm confused. Which one are you using, CFINVOKE or CFHTTP? If you're using CFINVOKE, you shouldn't need to tinker with the SOAP envelope at all. If you're using CFHTTP, have you tried using CFINVOKE instead? Thanks, Dave. I did just as you suggested and it looks good except it doesn't seem to go beyond a certain point. When I CFDUMPed the SOAP structure via XMLParse, the last bit (and of course, the most important), looks like this: CreateServiceRequestResult - XmlText 1S001The Service request was submitted successfully The XML looks like this: ServiceRequestID1/ServiceRequestID ResponseCodeS001/ResponseCode DescriptionThe Service request was submitted successfully/Description Why does it choose to concatenate those last three sets of data? When I tried to CFOUTPUT this: myxmlobj.Envelope.Body.CreateServiceRequestResponse.ServiceResponse.CreateServiceRequestResult.xmlText it works fine, but if I try myxmlobj.Envelope.Body.CreateServiceRequestResponse.ServiceResponse.CreateServiceRequestResult.ServiceRequestID.xmlText it chokes... I'm guessing it involves WDDX somehow, to turn this XML into a structure (which I can then simply insert into a SQL table) but if somebody can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. If you know that the XML document will always have more or less the same hierarchy of nodes, you can do this easily enough using CF's XML functionality. Use XMLParse to turn the string into an XML document object. CFDUMP that XML document object to see what it contains. CF will let you reference elements and their values using array and structure notation. So, in the example you provided, I think you could get to ServiceRequest with something like this: myxmlobj.Envelope.Body.ServiceResponse.ServiceRequestID.xmlText Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.

Re: index.cfm Conundrum
I had this issue with 6.1, but it's the first time I've experienced it with 7. I'm not sure the save class file will help, but I'll give it a shot. Keep in mind that this is only happening with the index.cfm file, nowhere else, and only when it's called from root. So to summarize: http://localhost/index.cfm pulls in c:\cfusionmx7\wwwroot\index.cfm http://localhost/default.cfm pulls in d:\site1\default.cfm http://localhost/app/index.cfm pulls in d:\site1\app\index.cfm http://localhost:81/index.cfm pulls in c:\cfusionmx7\wwwroot\index.cfm http://localhost:81/default.cfm pulls in d:\site2\default.cfm http://localhost:81/app/index.cfm pulls in d:\site2\app\index.cfm It's only index.cfm, and only if it's being pulled in off the root. Like I said, it's a very weird issue. The save class files simple saves the java byte code of a given file. As I understand it, it's the other option that caches only one location for the file. For example, on a multi-homed server (a web server serving more than one CF site), if the index.cfm file for site1 is rendered first, then any calls for index.cfm on site2 will be served site1's index.cfm because the server path for index.cfm was cached as the path to site1. Likewise, if no file was cached and site2 was called first then the path to index.cfm would be cached as that of site2. This was a problem in v6.x because the caching value defaulted to true (cache the path) and it wasn't available in the administrator. You had to edit the XML config file to change it. The problem you're describing sounds like that to me.

Re: Fusebox 4 Slow?
Holy crap -- did that ever make a difference! Thanks, Barney. - Sung You've got the mode in fusebox.xml set to 'development', which INTENTIONALLY rebuilds the entire framework's metadata on every request. If you switch it to 'production', you'll see a nice improvement, at the expense of having the framework stop looking for changes to the XML files (both fusebox.xml and circuit.xml). cheers, barneyb On 6/6/06, Sung Woo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

Re: cfm vs. php?
Is that right? I thought CPU count only comes into account for .NET or J2EE versions. For the plain ol' server version, I thought it was no cost? http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/product_info/pricing.cfm It's only actually cheaper for single CPU servers though. So the benefit of BlueDragon over CFMX isn't really cost, but rather it's feature set and support.

Flash Form CFGRID Hyperlink
The more I use Flash Forms, the more I find how restrictive they are. Case in point: I'm trying to create a simple CFGRID with two columns: car name and a text field for color. I want the user to be able to type in anything for the color, and I want this information to be saved to a table. All of this is fine -- it's within the scope of CFGRID -- but I want one other thing. I want the user to be able to click on the car name and have it drill down to another page (picture and specs of the car, let's say). It seems like it isn't possible, at least not to me, to have an updatable grid that allows for a hyperlink in one of its columns. If there's a workaround, I'd like to hear it. FYI: I can't use onChange=xx because if I click on the text field, it drills down. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234529 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: Flash Form CFGRID Hyperlink
Thanks, Nick. The problem with this method is that if I click on any part of
the row, it drills down. So if I have two columns, one that's just text and
another that's an editable text field, clicking on either one ends up drilling
down. I need the drilldown to only happen on the static text column.
Sung, there's a workaround.
Use 'onchange' event hander in the cfgrid.
onchange=getUrl('index.cfm' +
grid_name.dataProvider[grid_name.selectedIndex]['database_field_name']);

Re: Datasource Setup Question
No -- I'd just read somewhere that 1-2 connections per CPU is the norm for SQL. I'm the one who's limiting it. Sounds like from the other reply, I should maybe remove this to see what happens.

Re: Datasource Setup Question
I'll see if removing the connection limitation has any effect. I do have CFMX fully updated (latest SP and hotfixes). I was under the impression that removing maintain connections ends up being a large performance hit -- is this not true? I do have pages taking longer than 10 seconds logged against server.log. I do see some entries, but they are what I expect (we have one reporting page that can take as long as a minute to run). On the day that the crash happened, there were no entries in the server.log for long-running pages. I guess the crash happened so quickly and so suddenly that server.log didn't get a chance to write anything. in your situation I would probably remove the connection limitations for the DSN. Do you have CFMX fully updated? We had some issues with 'maintain connections' set to yes and for our heavy DB based apps we still have it set to off. What you probably want to look at is your server log in CFAdmin. Look for long running request messages and focus on those pages for some tuning perhaps. Make sure you have 'log long running requests' set to yes. DK ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: Datasource Setup Question
Hi Mark, I believe Douglas's post suggested removing maintain connections -- at least that's the way I read it. Here's the snippet: We had some issues with 'maintain connections' set to yes and for our heavy DB based apps we still have it set to off. I'll see what kind of a performance hit it is. I ran some stress tests and it all came out fine, but Monday will be the deciding factor. Usage is highest on Monday, so if the box survives the onslaught, it should be fine for the rest of the week. - Sung To clarify - if the checkbox for maintain connections is unchecked it IS a performance hit. I didn't see anyone suggesting that you remove it. You WANT to mainain connections, you just don't want to restrict the number of connections. You want CF to be able to create enough connections to service the load. The connections are pooled and recycled as needed. ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:209936 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Datasource Setup Question
I have a quad-processor machine for a webserver and a quad-processor machine for a database server. Running CFMX 6.1 and MS SQL 2000. My question is about datasource setup in the administrator. My site is an intranet, and it isn't heavily used (about 150 people online at the same time). Simultaneous requests is set to 12 and timeout is set at 35 on both Administrator and jrun.xml. Although the site isn't too busy, it does have some lengthy processes...the app that gets the highest usage (ordering and reporting forms) take about 3-6 seconds to save. I've just experienced some instability issues. Here's the error log: 06/15 15:22:26 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 1/27 Sessions: 1 Total Memory=284836 Free=99563 06/15 15:24:26 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 3/28 Sessions: 1 Total Memory=284836 Free=214988 06/15 15:26:26 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 17/71 Sessions: 1 Total Memory=284836 Free=182188 06/15 15:28:26 metrics Web threads (busy/total): 17/71 Sessions: 1 Total Memory=284836 Free=182092 You can see how it just jumped to the max simultaenous threads within 2 minutes. The machine was completely unresponsive; we had to do a hard reboot. So here's my question (finally). I have one database that folks do everything on -- logging in, ordering, reporting, etc. Even after 6 years of use, the database remains relatively small (1.3GB). The number of users on the login table is under 3000. So naturally, I use only one datasource connection, with these parameters: Select Method: Direct Limit Connections - YES Restrict connections to - 6 Maintain Connections - YES Max Pooled Statements - 1000 Timeout (min) - 20 Interval (min) - 7 Login Timeout (sec) - 30 My questions: 1) Are these settings OK for a quad-processor database server (2GB RAM)? 2) Should I create multiple datasources for the same database? Should I have one for logging in and access-based, another for one of the big apps, and another for the second big app, and so on and so forth? Any other advice would be welcome.

Slight Differences in New CFMX Install
I'm just about to set up another server, and I'm seeing slight differences in
the two installs. In my old install, I have these being referenced:
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\..\lib\cfmx-j2ee.jar
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\..\lib\jce1_2_1.jar
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\..\lib\local_policy.jar
There are others...but the list of the JVM path is much larger in the older
install than the newer. Is it because it's a clean install? The older one
went from CF5 to CFMX 6 to CFMX 6 Updater to CFMX 6.1. The new one went
straight from CFMX 6 to CFMX 6.1.
Normally I don't look at this sort of stuff, but the reason why I started
peeking around is because the JVM Arguments on the old box does not work on the
new box (it gives an error 1 and fails to initiate the service). Here's the
argument:
-server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Xbootclasspath/a:{application.home}/../lib/webchartsJava2D.jar
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:NewSize=48m
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.macromedia.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.macromedia.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
The one on the new box is the default one:
-server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Xbootclasspath/a:{application.home}/../lib/webchartsJava2D.jar
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:+UseParallelGC
I'm noticing other subtle differences...like on the page where you enter the
argument, the new box's page is only two lines high. On the old box, it's 6
high.
Any thoughts?

FYI, after many tests, we have isolated the problem as a memory leak in jrun.dll. I've replaced the current jrun.dll with the one in JRun 4 Updater 4 (build 84683), and it has brought down the memory usage, which, mind you, was going over 250MB easy a day, to a measly 19MB. It's a workaround, though; they'll be sending me a properly-patched connector soon. But for those suffering from this issue right now (and it is a burden), you might want to give this a shot. ~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:183307 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

One thing I forgot to mention -- it only happens if you use SSL. We use 128-bit SSL encryption for all our stuff. So that might be the distinction... I didn't extract it from the updater -- the Macromedia rep sent it to me.

Re: inetinfo.exe Memory Leak After 6.1 Updater
To remove and reinstall the connectors, would you run the two batch files in the \bin directory (Remove_ALL_connectors.bat, IIS_connector.bat)? I've never done this before, so I'm just curious...thanks for all your help! Hi Alex, It's standalone, using IIS 5.0. Exactly which file did you copy from a fresh install? jrunsvc.exe itself is not having any issues (steady at 36K, 2 threads), but I guess it is related? Hmm not sure about standalone. We have Jrun with cfmx deployed as a j2ee application, our problem started after we applied Jrun Updater 4. Since the standalone has Jrun built in I bet it also applied the latest Jrun patches at the same time you did the updater. Our inetinfo would slowly climb, one time it got up to 1.2 gigs! Then Boom it would crash.. Once I put the fresh file in place IIS runs at a steady 30megs. I would copy the jrunsvc.exe file from a clean install. Remove the Cfmx to IIS connector and recreate it.

inetinfo.exe Memory Leak After 6.1 Updater
I'm still having a rather nasty issue after installing the 6.1 Updater (and the 3
recommended hotfixes -- hf55681_61, hf56991.611, navserver_611) on my W2K box (SP4,
2GB of RAM). What's happening is that there's a slow but steady memory leak in
inetinfo.exe. inetinfo hardly ever used to go over 50MB, but now it regularly goes
over 200MB. My JVM settings look like this -- could this be the issue?
-server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Xbootclasspath/a:{application.home}/../lib/webchartsJava2D.jar -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:NewSize=48m
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.macromedia.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.macromedia.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
I thought JVM only affected jrun.exe...no? Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Post-6.1MX Updater - CFINSERT = String index out of range
I just went through a little hell backing out of the CFMX 6.1 Updater (the one released on August 2004).After doing this update, many (if not all) CFINSERT operations resulted in this error: String index out of range: -2 I'm using the JDBC SQL drivers (MS SQL 7.0). BTW, I explicitly followed Macromedia's instructions in uninstalling the updater, and it didn't work -- CFMX service wouldn't start again.I ended up reinstalling 6.1MX Upgrade (RedSky), and that did the trick.But oy vey, what a way to start a miserable Monday! - Sung [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Users Online, Take 2
So I've finally gotten around to rewriting the who is online? portion of my site, and it turns out that I didn't have to do much rewriting at all.The script below was using CFID to keep track, which, as many people pointed out, was not a good idea.I keep a session variable (session.UserID) in my application, so this was a much better idea.So the script is as follows: !--- keep a list of online users --- cfif Session.LoggedIn cfif NOT IsDefined(Application.UsersInfo) cflock timeout=15 scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE cfif NOT IsDefined(Application.UsersInfo) cfset Application.UsersInfo = StructNew() /cfif /cflock /cfif cfif NOT StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, session.UserID) cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=15 cfif NOT StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, session.UserID) cfset StructInsert(Application.UsersInfo, session.UserID, now()) /cfif /cflock /cfif cfloop collection=#Application.UsersInfo# item=itmUser cflock name=session_lock_#itmUser# timeout=15 cfif StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) cfif DateDiff(n, Application.UsersInfo[itmUser], Now()) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif /cfif /cflock /cfloop /cfif My question involves the StructDelete portion of the code, namely: cfloop collection=#Application.UsersInfo# item=itmUser cflock name=session_lock_#itmUser# timeout=15 cfif StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) cfif DateDiff(n, Application.UsersInfo[itmUser], Now()) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif /cfif /cflock /cfloop I have this script in the application.cfm file, which means this loop is activated with every single click.Sure, it isn't that much load, but I don't see any reason why this should kick in so often.So I cut it out of the application.cfm file and created a separate file, called cleanup_online_users.cfm.Then I used Scheduled Tasks to schedule this snippet of code -- and it doesn't work.It's very strange -- if I run it manually, it doesn't work, either.However, if I manually run it AND THEN force a refresh, it works.I was wondering if CF was somehow caching this page, so I changed the page to this: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN html head titlecleanup/title META HTTP-EQUIV=Pragma CONTENT=no-cache META HTTP-EQUIV=Expires CONTENT=-1 /head body !--- cleanup_online_users.cfm --- cfloop collection=#Application.UsersInfo# item=itmUser cflock name=session_lock_#itmUser# timeout=15 cfif StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) cfif DateDiff(n, Application.UsersInfo[itmUser], Now()) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif /cfif /cflock /cfloop /body /html Still doesn't work.The only way to make it work is if I load it manually and then refresh.What am I doing wrong?

Re: Users Online, Take 2
Hi Dov, I think the CFLOOP via COLLECTION is similar to what you propose with the LIST -- at least that's what the documentation tells me. The number of threads on my machine usually hovers around 54.Just now, it jumped to 96!I took the CFLOOP out, and now it's back to 54.So I still need to find a solution to this problem. I like what you propose -- I'll give it a shot -- but meanwhile, I'm still confused about why my scheduled tasks to clean up the dead users doesn't work... - Sung I'm not sure how java internals of cfloop/collection work, but chances are it's dangerous to loop through a collection you are deleting/adding items to/from. Perhaps change to CFLOOP list=StructKeyList(application.UsersInof)and then retreive the item if it's there... Also, How do you keep the person online... it seems like the following undesirable timeline is possible: 8:00 User logs in, gets a now() timestamp 8:14 User hits a page.Since still has a timestamp, nothing happens 8:16 User is deleted, since the 8:00 stamp expired, even though user hit 2 minutes ago... You should update a user's timestamp on each hit... I'd write it like this: when user logs in, Cfset Session.Stamp=structnew() Cfset session.stamp.last=now() Cfset application.UsersInfo[session.userid]=session.stamp Then whenever a user hits the page, you have Cfif session.isloggedin and isdefined(Session.stamp.last) Cfset session.stamp.last=now() /cfif Since session.stamp is a reference to a struct, which also exists in application.usersinfo, it doesnt get destroyed with the session [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: Users Online, Take 2
Just found my stupid mistake -- the file was pulling in application.cfm, so it must've been pulling up the login page instead.Makes sense why it would run when I ran it manually (since I was already logged in).I moved the file to a non-application.cfm-enabled directory, and now it works just fine...

Re: Count Online Users Conundrum
I've been tied up with stuff lately, but I finally have a bit of a breather, so I'm ready to tackle this thing once and for all.I just want to get some feedback on what I plan on doing: On my site, UserID (an integer) is a session variable.I'll create a structure that has the following three columns: useridlast last will be a datetime stamp that'll update every time they send a request to the site, i.e., click on something.Then every 15 minutes, I'll run a cleanup script that'll knock out any last values that are in excess of 15 minutes from Now().Does this sound like a viable option?Thanks! - Sung [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Java+JSP 10 times faster than CF? And Other Ruminations.
I just came back from a weeklong training session with java/JSP programming and have a couple of things to discuss.
FYI, I've been a long-time CF programmer (first version of 3.1).I've dabbled in UNIX shell scripts, perl, ASP, VB, and Pascal (yes, Pascal!) in my past incarnations, and hands down, I have found CF to be the best for me.It is the most intuitive programming language I've encountered so far.That opinion hasn't changed after my intro to java/JSP.
Anyway, here goes:
1) Since CFMX 6.1 is now running off of jrun, is it reasonable to see it as a huge and complicated set of JSP custom tags?JSP seems to behave very similarly to CF -- you write the code in a .jsp file and the compiler creates a .class file after the initial run.There are a ton of custom tags for JSP, and after sifting through them, it seems like CF can be seen as a large custom tag.
2) To quote Hal Helms:
http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=writings.displayOnScreenwriting=TenReasonsCompaniesLikeJava.htm
Java is a high-performance language. Java with JSP (similar to ColdFusion for presentation) is over 10 times faster than using ColdFusion. A single JSP server can handle 10 times the number of simultaneous requests that ColdFusion can.
I found this very disturbing, but I can see how this could be true.In JSP, the equivalent of a CFOUTPUT of a form field is as follows:
%= ${form_field} %
or
% request.getParameter(form_field) %
Either one will do the job, but when this code is run through the runtime compiler, you see two very different code -- the former is some form of an evaluate function (which, like Evaluate() in CF, will no doubt take more processing power) while the latter goes through unchanged, i.e., will be faster.So this got me thinking about CF in general.All the minute, annoying things that java requires help it run faster.In CF, you can simply declare a variable without regard for type -- cfset var = name and cfset var = 0 are both valid statements.But let's think about that for a second.Since java requires that variables be typed, is it not plausible to think that CF code will run less lean, since there will now have to be extra code to sort this out?This is pure conjecture on my part; I have no idea.Since CF can be seen as a custom tag that generates code, who really knows how efficient this code-generating is?Is that why Hal says JSP is 10 times faster than CF?
3) I'm considering running MachII (after this class, I'm fairly convinced of the whole MVC thingy).Will running something like MachII make my applications faster?Or is it just a way to organize big projects so they don't get out of hand?
4) Is there a way to optimize CF code so it runs the fastest?I know, for example, that virtual Query function is dog-slow, and that structures are lightning fast.Are there any other tips?Should I be utilizing more CFSCRIPT throughout my code?
No matter how much performance increase java/JSP offers, I find the whole language ridiculous.Then again, I find most computer languages ridiculous.Why shouldn't the parser be smart enough to know that a variable is a certain type without having me specify it?Why do I need to worry about case sensitivity?You may just call me lazy, but when I saw CF, I saw a language that was intelligent.It took the silliness out of programming and let me do what I really wanted to do.

Re: Count Online Users Conundrum
Excellent.So there are two instructions on the structure update: 1) update my time 2) kill any connections older than 15 minutes I'd still need to run a cleanup script every fifteen minutes, just to clean up any last connections, right?Otherwise, there will always be 1 person logged on, I'd think. BTW, on a completely different subject, is it possible to trigger AOL's AIM via hyperlink, something like aim:user1000 to bring up the... Never mind.Found it on google! aim:goim?screenname=SCREENNAME yes but you can also run the update to knock out past connections when you update the current time, that is what I do.

Re: Count Online Users Conundrum
What are you actually trying to do?I'm assuming you're attempting to see who's currently using the system, and basically discounting anyone who's not been active in the last 15 minutes? If this is the case let me know and I'll knock a little code out for you!Can't do it today, stupid firewall issues...Eugh. Hi Tim, That's exactly what I'm trying to do.All I want is a counter that counts down from 15 minutes for every person who logs on without using the database, i.e., using session/application variables.Seems like this script can almost do it...it just needs one more bit of cleaning up.But maybe not?I hadn't considered the fact that CFID isn't really unique.Not that it matters since this is nothing but eye candy (i.e., I slug the value up there on the right corner of the site). But you know, I also wanted to know WHO exactly was online, i.e., has made a request in the last 15 minutes.The login system carries the ID (a number, session.UserID) of every user, so I can easily do this by keeping another application structure. I can actually do this -- I'm just being lazy.But if you want to take a whack at it, it'll be very appreciated.I've been coding for a while, but I haven't really dealt with many login issues at all, as it was coded by somebody else and it's been working just fine all this time.And, as you can see, I wasn't astute enough with the current script I was using to see how awful it was, so any expert advice would be fantastic. - Sung [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Count Online Users Conundrum
Hi Tim, Thanks so much for the breakdown.I got the code from easycfm.com and didn't think to really analyze it.I'll make the changes you suggested and let you know if I run into anything.Thanks again! - Sung Sung, What happens is that at the end of the day (I run an intranet where there are about 200 peak users), around midnight, it still shows 80 or so users online!What do you think could be causing this? Does the code you run to report on the user sessions run the code you posted first?By this I mean does it run through and clear any old sessions out before reporting how many are still there? What the code you posted does (badly) is record a timestamp of when a new session is started, for each user session (although the CFID is by no means guaranteed to be unique), and then deleting any over 15 minutes.So every session will remain there for 15 minutes (or until the first page call that runs the skimmer code after the 15 minute limit has expired) and then be deleted.If the user is still using the system, they will simply be added back in the next time they access a page, with a new 15 minute count. Therefore, at the end of the day, if there are no page calls made between 5:30 and midnight, all sessions will still be held in memory, because the skimmer hasn't been run.I would say that's why you're still leeing lots of users on line at midnight. I'd like to ask what you're actually attempting to do with this code. If it's to see how many people are using the system within the last 15 minutes and how long they've been using the application for, then this code certainly doesn't do that, or at most does a very bad job of it. What you'll need to do is add *two* timestamps to each user -- one for when they first accessed the system, and one when they last requested a page.Your 15 minute check should then use the difference between these values to determine whether the user has been inactive for 15 minutes. As for Ray's comment of but that is some pretty awful code I completely agree.I've attempted to go through it somewhat below code-block by code-block -- not changing any of the existing functionality, but just cleaning it up -- with explanations of what I've done and why. cflock timeout=15 scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE cfif NOT isDefined(Application.UsersInfo) cfset Application.UsersInfo = StructNew() /cfif /cflock Since CFMX (I'm assuming you're using MX?), you don't have to worry about locking shared scopes for reading only, so there's no need to lock everything as you have done.Put another cfif around so you only lock when absolutely necessary.Keeping the original cfif in there just makes sure that should two requests happen fairly closely, that only one initialises the new structure. cfif NOT isDefined(Application.UsersInfo) cflock timeout=15 scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE cfif NOT isDefined(Application.UsersInfo) cfset Application.UsersInfo = StructNew() /cfif /cflock /cfif cflock name=#CreateUUID()# timeout=15 type=EXCLUSIVE cfset user_cfid = Evaluate(CFID) cfset user_time = Now() /cflock This is a totally pointless lock.You're not writing to (or even reading from) any shared scope.Additionally, you're using a randomly generated lock ID so even if you were writing to a shared scope there's nothing to stop two requests happening simultaneously, because they are guaranteed to have different lock IDs! Secondly, I'm not sure why you're using an evaluate() call where you are, it doesn't do anything except add another function call.The user's CFID is available anywhere and won't change so there's no need to reference that as anything different.The user_time variable is only actually used once, so why not just replace it with the now() call?In effect, you don't need this section at all. cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=15 cfif NOT StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, user_cfid) cfset temp = StructInsert(Application.UsersInfo, user_cfid, user_time) /cfif /cflock Again, as in the first section, there's no need to lock for a read, so add another cfif statement around the outside of this section. Replace the user_cfid with CFID and the user_time with now() as described above.Finally, you don't have to assign the result of the structinsert() call -- it just means another variable clogging up memory during the page request: cfif NOT StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, CFID) cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=15 cfif NOT StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, CFID) cfset StructInsert(Application.UsersInfo, CFID, now()) /cfif /cflock /cfif cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=15 cfloop collection=#Application.UsersInfo# item=itmUser cfif Evaluate(DateDiff(n, StructFind(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser), Now())) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif /cfloop /cflock Now this is the sort of block where everyone's opinions will diverge somewhat.Some will say lock outside the loop, other will say only lock when
Re: Count Online Users Conundrum
My apologies -- this will give you their total session time.To work out if they've been inactive for more than 15 minutes you'll have to do a time check comparing the last active timestamp and the current time using now(). Hi Tim, Thanks.I ran your script and sure enough, right now, it says there are 99 users when it probably should be something like 20.I'm not sure if I'm understanding you completely -- I'm thinking that I need to add to the following snippet that already exists: cfloop collection=#Application.UsersInfo# item=itmUser cflock name=session-lock-#itmUser# timeout=15 cfif structkeyexists(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) cfif DateDiff(n, Application.UsersInfo[itmUser], Now()) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif /cfif /cflock /cfloop So I'd include another CFIF statement: cfif DateDiff(n, LAST ACTIVE, Now()) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif The problem is figuring out this last active number -- am I missing something simple?

Count Online Users Conundrum
I got this little snippet from easycfm.com to keep track of online users, but lately, it hasn't been working quite right.What happens is that at the end of the day (I run an intranet where there are about 200 peak users), around midnight, it still shows 80 or so users online!What do you think could be causing this? !--- http://tutorial12.easycfm.com/ - show session users - BEGIN --- cflock timeout=15 scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE cfif NOT isDefined(Application.UsersInfo) cfset Application.UsersInfo = StructNew() /cfif /cflock cflock name=#CreateUUID()# timeout=15 type=EXCLUSIVE cfset user_cfid = Evaluate(CFID) cfset user_time = Now() /cflock cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=15 cfif NOT StructKeyExists(Application.UsersInfo, user_cfid) cfset temp = StructInsert(Application.UsersInfo, user_cfid, user_time) /cfif /cflock cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=15 cfloop collection=#Application.UsersInfo# item=itmUser cfif Evaluate(DateDiff(n, StructFind(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser), Now())) GT 15 cfset StructDelete(Application.UsersInfo, itmUser) /cfif /cfloop /cflock !--- http://tutorial12.easycfm.com/ - show session users - END --- - !--- http://tutorial12.easycfm.com/ - show session users --- cflock scope=APPLICATION type=EXCLUSIVE timeout=10 cfoutput Total Active Sessions : #StructCount(Application.UsersInfo)# /cfoutput /cflock [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
CFMX/jrun.exe Thread Count
This might be a ridiculous question to ask, but I thought I would anyway. On my box (hosting 3 sites), the thread count for jrun.exe hovers around 53. I've seen it go as high as 56 and as low as 48. When the box crashes, which happens not that often, the thread count goes to 80 and beyond. So here's my question: what are some strategies in keeping the thread count down? I know this might be a tough question to answer (if not impossible), since you have no idea what kind of apps I'm running, but it's more of a general question...thanks...

Web Services and CFMX6.1 -- Why doesn't it work?
I'm at my wit's end here, folks.I don't know why my idiotic hello world web service just isn't working.Here's a path to my madness: helloworld.cfc cfcomponent cffunction name=getMessage access=remote returntype=string output=false cfargument name=name type=string required=yes cfreturn Hello arguments.name , web service is working. /cffunction /cfcomponent --- hello_component.cfm (to check if the CFC is working) cfinvoke component=helloworld method=getMessage returnvariable=aString cfinvokeargument name=name value=Bozo/ /cfinvoke cfoutput#aString#/cfoutput Output: Hello Bozo, web service is working. --- helloworld.cfc?wsdl Output: works fine, displays the XML --- hello.cfm cfinvoke webservice=http://localhost/ws/helloworld.cfc?wsdl method=getMessage returnvariable=aString cfinvokeargument name=name value=Bozo/ /cfinvoke cfoutput#aString#/cfoutput Output: Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation.

Re: Web Services and CFMX6.1 -- Why doesn't it work?
Hi Michael, Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work, either. I don't understand why I'd use port 8500...I'm not using the built-in webserver, I'm using IIS? [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: Web Services and CFMX6.1 -- Why doesn't it work?
Yup, I can browse it just fine.If I use the ?wsdl after the helloworld.cfc, I generate the XML file fine, too. And even stranger...I'm doing this because we're evaluating Vignette, which has nice interactivity with web services.This web service is recognized and fully usable by Vignette!So it only fails here, on CFMX.Very, very strange...

Re: MX: Scheduler firing off too often
Scott, I have the same issue with my CFMX 6.1 box on W2K.It only happens sometimes, maybe once every month.I haven't found a cure for it, only a workaround.I have a lengthy scheduled task that runs at 3am once a week, but if it runs during business hours, it can create some problems.So I wrapped a simple CFIF statement around it -- i.e., cfif this script is running before 2:55am or after 3:15am, then don't run it. Yeah, it's stupid, but it's a workaround.Since you have yours firing off pretty often, I'm not sure if this will work for you...but maybe other people will have some ideas.

Thanks for all your help, guys.I tried the snippet on my production server, and sure enough, it runs just fine.So I guess it is my server config.What could it be, though?I don't understand what inside CF could cause this, when all evidence points to the file being exactly where it should be.The Mappings on both production and test are identical...

CFMX Hanging Solutions?
I've been scouring the forums here and on Macromedia regarding CFMX hangs.I have a page on my site that takes more than 1000ms to return (runs about 10 big queries).If I get on this page and hit F5 over and over again, I can see jrun.exe memory size and thread count expand.The memory size never is the issue -- it's the thread count.When it goes over 100, it seems like the machine hangs.Eventually, it does respond, but while it's hanging, the site is cooked. So here's my question: Is it possible for me to wrap a CFLOCK around that entire page, to isolate it to a single thread?It isn't an often-visited page, so I could probably get away with this. Eventually, I'll need break up the query/page...looks like I'll have to do this.Oh, and by the way, whenever I use JDBC drivers, this issue is far worse...so I use ODBC Socket for everything.My setup is Win2K on a dual pentium 5 with 2GB RAM and SQL 7.0.Thanks!
