Is the CF scheduler Reliable?
How reliable is the CF Scheduler? For years we have used the infusion mailserver and its Infusion Scheduler App/Service. Its always worked great but since that product is dead/no longer supported, we need to find a new way of running scheduled tasks and adding/removing scheduled task programmatically. In the past I have seen lots of posts about the built in scheduler being unreliable. What I need to know is can the built in scheduler be used reliably for mission critical applications? Thanks for your input!

Set a schedule to run every minute and one second and call the same page that you were calling with your iMS scheduler and it can sort out what really needs to run.

Re: Is the CF scheduler Reliable?
I think the ColdFusion scheduler works great and can be used for mission-critical applications. I don't think you will find too many fundamental complaints about using it, unless perhaps you are looking at complaints from 10 years ago. Occasionally you will see comments about a scheduled task not executing, but I think all of these end up being user error where people don't enter a configuration setting correctly, or they have an error in the page being executed. Other times you will see comments about a task running more than once, but most of these are people forgetting that they set up the same scheduled task on a development or test server. I can't think of too many issues with using the cfscheduler that are not ultimately the result of user error. The daylight saving time clock adjustment can be a source of uncertainty, but this would be the case for any task scheduler. If a page execution takes longer than the scheduled repeating interval, say it takes 15 minutes to run a page that is scheduled to run every five minutes, and there is no multi-threading protection in the code, then this can be another source of problems. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 6:25 PM, Brook Davies cft...@logiforms.com wrote: How reliable is the CF Scheduler?

RE: CF-Scheduler - multiple tasks starting at the same time
Dave said: - I haven't really noticed any specific problems with that, but if the two tasks work with any shared data, the possibility certainly exists for problems to occur. What kind of strange behavior are you seeing? Thanks, Dave. Unfortunately I don't have details about the strange behavior other than applications 'stopped working' and 'they started working again after we reran all the scheduled tasks'. Turns out we have several groups of 2 - 4 scheduled tasks where all tasks in a group start at the same time, and on top of that we're load balanced across two servers. I suspect you are right about shared data if it turns out that the scheduled tasks really are the source of the problem. Ian said: The first thing I would look at are there any race conditions, concurrency or other logic problems when all of these requests are made at the same time. Thanks, Ian. This is second on my to do list after we see what happens with the next cycle of these scheduled tasks (first on my list is below). Claude said: Confuse, probably not, but cause a bottle neck on the sever, possible. We have also some scheduled tasks, and we programmed them to be scheduled at least 1 min appart. Right, I try for 5 min apart but settle for 1 min if I have to. I don't know how we ended up with all these concurrent start times but it's at the top of my list to break them out into individual start times.

CF-Scheduler - multiple tasks starting at the same time
Is there a fundamental problem with having two or more scheduled tasks start at the same time? Does this confuse CF? We have started to experience some strange behavior with CF scheduled tasks that run quick queries against Oracle and DB2 and write the returned answer sets into .js files. We have lots of these scheduled tasks, sometimes with up to four of them having the same start time. We're running CF7 on Unix. Thanks!

Earl, George wrote: Is there a fundamental problem with having two or more scheduled tasks start at the same time? Does this confuse CF? Not a fundamental problem, but a scheduled task is nothing more then an automatic HTTP request to an URL resource no different then if a bunch of humans did the same thing with their browsers. It is not unheard of for internet applications to experience difficulties when a bunch of requests to the same or related resources are made at the same time. The first thing I would look at are there any race conditions, concurrency or other logic problems when all of these requests are made at the same time. ~| 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:316575 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

RE: Problems with CF scheduler and SSL
I think this has been mentioned several times... There are alternatives to using keytool... 1. Don't use ssl. If you're running stuff on localhost, there is no need for ssl. 2. Buy a real certificate. These go for less then $30 these days.

CF Scheduler problem in MX7
I just converted to MX7 and some of my scheduled tasks are not running. I can cut and paste the URL from admin into a web page and they run fine. When I click run in the scheduler it says This scheduled task was completed successfully., but it doesn't actually run. The very first thing I do in the program is write something to a log file and when I check the log there is nothing there. I am pulling out what little hair I have let. Please help (or send Rogaine).

CF Scheduler - What if the server is down at the time of a scheduled event?
All: Quick question concerning the CF Scheduler... what happens if the server is down during the time when an event is scheduled to occur?

Also double-check any url vars and make sure they're in the URL for the task. And lastly, Make sure the same is also true for the first Application.cfm in the directory or any parent directories (all the way to the root of the drive or the *nix root directory) so as to prevent those from causing problems with the scheduled task. iirc any errors which occur on the page being requested won't appear in the scheduler log, they'll appear in the application log like any other error, so if you're running a scheduled task the scheduler log will say ok even if an error occurred on that page because the scheduler was able to receive the page via cfhttp without any 403 forbidden or 404 not found errors.

CF Scheduler - Weekly and Monthly events?
It's not absolutely clear how the CF scheduler handles weekly or monthly scheduled events. In the CF Administrator, it requires a time of day, but doesn't ask for a day of month, or a day of week. I assume then that monthly scheduled task must go off on the day of month that coincides with the Start Date? I.E., if you schedule something to start on 05/03/2002, then it would always execute on the third of the month? Similarly, with weekly scheduled events, does it figure out what day of week the start date happens to fall on, then run the task on that same weekday each week? One thing that must be a bug in the CF Administrator (CF5) is that when you edit a weekly or monthly event, it always resets the select box back to Daily. Jim __ Your ad could be here.

Hi all, CF 4.5.1 SP2 Win 2K Server Local intranet I put a task in the Scheduler via the Admin page. (It uses cf_mail to send a test alpha pager message to a small group, with a corresponding confirm message to their mailbox.) Start date, no End date.

CF Scheduler problem (resolved?)
FYI, I *think* I found the problem -- Sorry, I guess I didn't understand from the log that the task WAS submitted successfully, but the MAIL message failed. When I thought to check the mail.log file, I found: SMTP server replied Unable to connect to mail server. Looks like our corporate infrastructure folks did a number on us again - can't ping the server now sigh. Thanks anyway, -Ben = Hi all, CF 4.5.1 SP2 Win 2K Server Local intranet I put a task in the Scheduler via the Admin page. (It uses cf_mail to send a test alpha pager message to a small group, with a corresponding confirm message to their mailbox.) Start date, no End date. Recurring daily at 11:00:00 Operation: HTTPRequest URL = .cfm page on a local box The day I put it in the scheduler (7/30/01), the task worked fine. The next day (7/31/01) it worked fine. Since then, it has not worked at all. Scheduler.log shows: Information,TID=752,08/01/01,10:52:35,Refreshing scheduled task list initiated.

CF SCHEDULER
I have a page that if I run it in a browser it works fine. It processes the following code: CFHTTP method="get" url="http://www.blah.com/blah.cfm" CFSET newsindx = #CFHTTP.FILECONTENT# CFSET session.newsindxfilename = "#session.directory#\newsindx.htm" CFSET session.newsindxbody= "#newsindx#" !--- CFOUTPUT#newsindx#/CFOUTPUT --- CFLOCATION URL="newspublishnewsindx.cfm" Now if I run it manually it grabs the code from the CFHTTP, and then the CFLOCATION tag just pushes all the variables to another page to WRITE the file out on our server. It actually builds an HTML file. This all works fine IF I put the URL in the browser and do it manually. However if i do it through the scheduler it runs, says it's been successful but never really updates the page. Are there any issues I am unaware of with Scheduler that would cause this? Are there any other ways to schedule? ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: CF SCHEDULER
Try adding a token (addtoken="yes") on the cflocation. The CF Scheduler is really just a timed call to CFHTTP, and CFHTTP doesn't do cookie based session management. -Original Message- From: Kelly Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 12:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF SCHEDULER I have a page that if I run it in a browser it works fine.

RE: Client storage (RE: ColdFusion 4.0.1/SPARC/Solaris help sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems)
The point is that an over-large registry *significantly* increases that odds of a registry-related failure, and write actions are the worst. Since we identified this issue, we haven't had a single problem with corruption of the registry. If you get the client vars out of it, most of the access is read, not write, which actually causes nearly nill action, since as near as I can tell, the registry is read into memory when CF fires up. If you've got client vars in it, every time CF serves a page, a write occurs, updating the last-access time for the client var. Michael J.

RE: ColdFusion 4.0.1/SPARC/Solaris help sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems
My personal opinion is that if you are writing multi platform software using something like the registry is a not so great idea. Heck relying on the registry is a not so great idea just given the chance it has of going corrupt from some other software screwing it up. Where, if you wrote your own configuration database which should not be incredibly complex since I have written something very similar just on a smaller scale for a C program I was working with. I realize they use the registry for things like client variables but I just think the whole idea is a bit hokey and I wouldnt trust it at all. Makes no sense to destabalize your software so much when the solution is not that difficult.

RE: Client storage (RE: ColdFusion 4.0.1/SPARC/Solaris help sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems)
If you're using client vars, get them into a database. If you're not using them, make absolutely sure they're not enabled anywhere. I'd like to strongly second this recommendation. No one, under any circumstances, should store client variables for an application within the registry. The registry, under NT or Solaris with WindU, isn't a good repository for volatile data. That's not what it's designed for, and it will fail. Export your registry, the only client var entries you should see will be from use of the CF Administrator application. (Though why in all of heaven and earth they are enabled there, I'll never know.) You can actually move these out as well, by changing the default client storage repository to a specific database. Of course, the problem with this is that if the database becomes unavailable, you won't be able to run the CF Administrator.

RE: Client storage (RE: ColdFusion 4.0.1/SPARC/Solaris help sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems)
This has nothing to do with client variables. Cold Fusion uses the Registry a great deal itself internally. For example, all datasource info, scheduled tasks, etc... Most of this is done when the service starts up, and reads the data from the Registry. The Registry isn't designed to store volatile data. It's a repository for configuration data. CF doesn't actually interact much with the registry during normal operations. If you were going to measure registry reads and writes from CF on a busy CF server (using NTREGMON from http://www.sysinternals.com/ for example), you'd find them to be negligible.

ColdFusion 4.0.1/SPARC/Solaris help sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems
We are still using CF 4.0.1 due to an inability to get 4.5.1 to consistently run on our SPARC Solaris 2.6 systems. While we are impatiently waiting for help from support, we have been seeing a two part problem in CF 4.0.1. First, we see the CF Scheduler after running a few days stop running. Within another day or two (of doing things like stopping and restarting ColdFusion, etc.) suddently ColdFusion no longer will run at all, reporting a corrupt Registry. If at that point in time we recover the Registry from a backup previous to when ColdFusion Scheduler quit working, the Scheduler starts up again. We are in need of tips, pointers, tools to analyze the Registry problem, etc. Any information you might be able provide to enable us to work out this problem would be appreciated. -- Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem.

RE: Client storage (RE: ColdFusion 4.0.1/SPARC/Solaris help sought - registry corruption and cf scheduler problems)
Actually, it might have a LOT to do with client variables. An export of our Solaris registry right after setup was less than 8KB, three weeks later, it was several MB in size, all due to a programmer who inadvertently turned on client vars when he meant to only enable session vars. CF doesn't purge client vars for 90 days, so needless to say, the registry can get REALLY big in a hurry on a busy website. Note that nothing actually set any client vars, the entries were just for the CFTOKEN and CFID. The Solaris server is reasonably stable as long as the registry file is kept small, and without clent vars, it will stay small. Summary: If you're using client vars, get them into a database. If you're not using them, make absolutely sure they're not enabled anywhere. Export your registry, the only client var entries you should see will be from use of the CF Administrator application.
