I can't comment on it because I have no experience with shared

Well, I'm on the list because my team develop ColdFusion applications. 
Reading everyone's complaints and filing bugs for them is not my job, 
frankly. I have filed bugs in the past when I've seen an issue that I 
really think needs fixing (and which might affect my team). If you find 
a bug, report it to MM. Reporting it here is fine for a sanity check 
but it is no guarantee MM will see it or act on it.

Yes, I agree that if a decent discussion is started about it then it seems
like Sean  Christian jump right in a get something done.
But this guy was taking it way to far!
And then starts insulting members and saying that he wants to aggravate us.
If the guy had a brain cell and a half he'd realize that we are the people
that can help him but instead he starts spewing insults at people.
a better logic suggests that if you have an issue then get the others to
push the maker to fix it, simple common sense.

I'd never before seen a major corporation rethink their  pricing/licensing
policies just from some posts on a mailing list
Exactly! but as I recall when ( I believe it was brook) started that out and
throughout the duration of the discussion it was handled fairly pleasantly.
A complaint was made and a discussion started  MM responded. If I was MM I
wouldn't respond to that putz either.

hey I realize its just my opinion  my opinion was he took it too far.
If I was MM I'd give him his money back, cancel his license and send him on
his cheerful way:)

Maybe Tony could share his half pipe with him and things would chill a bit
and he'd get taken care of.

 What else do u think it is?

The other option is a bug in the Oracle ODBC drivers.

The CF MX ODBC Service is the most likely candidate for being the cause 
of this problem, but I don't think it is the only one.

RE: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-05 Thread Dave Watts
 I think that the key here is running CFMX as a 
 named user. I couldn't get it to work when it 
 ran as system.

I suspect this is because you're using a trusted connection with your SQL
Server ODBC connection. If you use a native SQL Server login, you should be
able to run CFMX as whatever you want. (Not that you should run it as SYSTEM
anyway, though.)

   the answer to CFMX ODBC problems.
 
  It might be, actually. I would recommend that you try 
  it out, if you have a JDBC driver available. Sure, it 
  might be a pain, but why would you expect ODBC to 
  necessarily work as well from Java through JDBC as

Sure, but you might want to apply a bit of common sense. Macromedia isn't
going to say ODBC connections don't work, but they do say they won't work as
well as pure JDBC connections. Draw your own conclusions. The SequeLink
stuff (the ODBC Agent and Server) are a workaround for when you don't have
JDBC drivers, aren't they?

There is no COMMON Sense to apply here. Everything worked while
we were testing CFMX. Obviously..since we didnt see any problems...
took it to production.. and everything starts breaking.

There is NO warning in the release notes about an UnStable CFMX ODBC Engine.

Not release notes, the normal manuals.

quote
JDBC-ODBC bridge

Translates JDBC calls into ODBC calls, and sends them to the ODBC driver.

Advantages
Allows access to many different databases.

Disadvantages
The ODBC driver, and possibly the client database libraries, must reside 
on the ColdFusion server computer. Performance is also below par.
Macromedia does not recommend this driver type unless your application 
requires specific features of these drivers.

Anyways.. to end the topic... I already submitted the problem..
right after Sean/Mike gave me the Bug forum/Wish List site link.

The only 2 confirmations i needed from this whole post was...
1. Nobody on this list has CFMX ODBC working stable.
2. This is not an already acknowledged issue by MM.

Wonder how it got this far... Topic closed for me.

 Not release notes, the normal manuals.

How many of us have read the entire CFMX Manual?

Should have in the Release notes in BOLD like.

We do not Expect ODBC Connections to work properly in CFMX,
We recommend you use JDBC drivers

  Can you point me to the CFMX Release Notes that says
  ODBC Connections are not recommended in CFMX?

 Not release notes, the normal manuals.

 quote
 JDBC-ODBC bridge

 Translates JDBC calls into ODBC calls, and sends them to the ODBC driver.

 Advantages
 Allows access to many different databases.

 Disadvantages
 The ODBC driver, and possibly the client database libraries, must reside
 on the ColdFusion server computer. Performance is also below par.
 Macromedia does not recommend this driver type unless your application
 requires specific features of these drivers.

Yup.

Personally I haven't been able to get it to work on Win2k on two dev
servers.  One is running a dev edition of CFMX.  The other is running a
full copy of Pro.  Forgot about a 3rd:  My laptop also has a full copy
of Pro on it and I had identical problems.  Seemed like ODBC just didn't
want to stay connected.

The JDBC worked fine so I didn't worry too much further about it, but if
I were trying to run Oracle 8i on CFMX Pro (I was) in a production
environment (fortunately I was not, so I ran my tests on an MX dev
edition) then I'd really have my work cut out for me trying to find
another set of drivers.

To get back onto the original topic: Has anyone found the ODBC socket
connection to work?  Using what db/version?  We've heard from people
who
didn't, both in this thread and previously.  Who can share with us an
experience of a stable connection?  Maybe if we approach this from a
different end we'll hear some good news.

 The only 2 confirmations i needed from this

 1. Nobody on this list has CFMX ODBC working 
 stable.

Well, that's simply not true. I do know of one installation that's using SQL
Server 2000 via ODBC with CFMX, because they require trusted connections.
It's slow, but it's no less stable than it was with CF 5, from what I've
been told.

Now, that information is probably pretty useless to you anyway, since they
may have less traffic than you, and they're using different ODBC drivers
than you.

 Mike,

 I would like to hear the official line from Macromedia regarding the
 stability of CFMX in production environments...especially regarding shared
 hosting.

 As I've posted before on this list (and I think you took the info from me
to
 follow up on it and never got back to me), a local ISP that upgraded to
CFMX
 had major issues and were eventually told by Macromedia tech support that
 CFMX was not stable enough for shared hosting.

 So is this Macromedia's position or not?  I'm not looking to point fingers
 and start some kind of MM flame war or anything.  I simply want to be able
 to tell my clients the truth...no matter what it is.

 I personally love CFMX and especially love Flash remoting.  No matter what
 your answer is I will still use theses products (although I may not advise
 clients to use CFMX if there are still issues).  If there are issues, I
will
 simply wait until they are resolved before advising clients to use CFMX.
Of
 course if I get lied to and then incorrectly advise a client to use CFMX
 I'll be one pissed CF developer ;-)

 BTW the use proper channels line is getting old.  I don't think paying
 customers should have to pay even more just to make MM's bug tracking
system
 work.  Change the system so someone such as yourself can report a bug that
 you see on lists.  The bottom line should be making the product the best
it
 can be and NOT following proper channels.

 Thanks for reading

 Cheers

  This is the reason we have those proper channels, such as tech support
and
  the wish list.
 
  If you post an issue here, we may not see it, and if we do, we may not
get
  the info needed, or have it logged correctly in the bug base.
 
  The people who monitor the wish list and tech support know what info to
 ask
  for, and can log it properly in the bug base.
 
  So, if you don't want to use those channels, that is fine. But you
should
  not expect to get one on one support from macromedia without going
through
  those channels.

If the issue is a CFMX issue, then you do not have to pay anything.
  
   What else do u think it is?... I am not wasting my time on this
 anymore..
   if you want... GO FIX YOUR PRODUCT (CFMX). Its quite obvious from
other
   posts here, CFMX is not production stable(continuous problems). When a
   problem gets reported, MM Folks should atleast show the courtesy to
   acknowledge the problem and try to fix it...NOT ask developers to go
  though
   the proper channel.
  
   I am not the ONLY person that has complained about CFMX ODBX Problems,
   others here have reported the problem as well. Switching to a JDBC
 driver
   is not the answer to CFMX ODBC problems.

What is it that you dois it in a shared environment?   I'm glad it works
for you...so far it works for me as wellI just want to advise clients as

  Yes I now this is not a MM list and I should not expect an official
answer here.

 They why do you ask for an *official* answer?

Like I said...if someone can tell me who to talk to at MM I'd be more than
happy to follow-up with them



  If the MM folks on this list
  feel this is the case, at least acknowledge me and tell me who to talk
to at
  MM for an answer.

 I thought your ISP had spoken to somebody at Macronmedia about this.
 Can't they give you the name of that person so you can talk to that very
 same person?

Not my ISP...just a local one.  No they can't give me the name...they're
embarrassed enough about upgrading a live server ;-)

Once again no answer to my question regarding the stability of CFMX in a shared 
hosting environment!!

Obviously.. No Comments...
To my knowledge CFMX in production is Unstable.. Especially if you try to to use all 
the new features.
This no surprise.. CFMX is a complete re-write in Java...
MM has done a real good job.. but released too soon.
I would probably run CFMX in development.. but wait atleast another 6 months to run a 
CFMX under full load in production.

 Mike,

 I would like to hear the official line from Macromedia regarding the
 stability of CFMX in production environments...especially regarding
shared
 hosting.

 As I've posted before on this list (and I think you took the info from
me
to
 follow up on it and never got back to me), a local ISP that upgraded to
CFMX
 had major issues and were eventually told by Macromedia tech support
that
 CFMX was not stable enough for shared hosting.

 So is this Macromedia's position or not?  I'm not looking to point
fingers
 and start some kind of MM flame war or anything.  I simply want to be
able
 to tell my clients the truth...no matter what it is.

 I personally love CFMX and especially love Flash remoting.  No matter
what
 your answer is I will still use theses products (although I may not
advise
 clients to use CFMX if there are still issues).  If there are issues, I
will
 simply wait until they are resolved before advising clients to use CFMX.
Of
 course if I get lied to and then incorrectly advise a client to use CFMX
 I'll be one pissed CF developer ;-)

 BTW the use proper channels line is getting old.  I don't think paying
 customers should have to pay even more just to make MM's bug tracking
system
 work.  Change the system so someone such as yourself can report a bug
that
 you see on lists.  The bottom line should be making the product the best
it
 can be and NOT following proper channels.

 Thanks for reading

 Cheers

  This is the reason we have those proper channels, such as tech support
and
  the wish list.
 
  If you post an issue here, we may not see it, and if we do, we may not
get
  the info needed, or have it logged correctly in the bug base.
 
  The people who monitor the wish list and tech support know what info
to
 ask
  for, and can log it properly in the bug base.
 
  So, if you don't want to use those channels, that is fine. But you
should
  not expect to get one on one support from macromedia without going
through
  those channels.

 1. Nobody on this list has CFMX ODBC working 
 stable.

Well, that's simply not true. I do know of one installation that's using
SQL
Server 2000 via ODBC with CFMX, because they require trusted
connections.
It's slow, but it's no less stable than it was with CF 5, from what I've
been told.

Now, that information is probably pretty useless to you anyway, since
they
may have less traffic than you, and they're using different ODBC drivers
than you.

Lets face it, they do not know how to do shared hosting environments!  Plain and 
simple.  With all the off the wall
work-arounds I have seen posted by MM people proves this to be a fact.

But they can dedicate dozens of engineers to develop one web site, but will not and 
cannot address issues as important
as the ones you raise.

It is a sad state of affairs, and the bean counters will eventually notice by the lack 
of sales, and perhaps start a
movement to address them.

I for one, am not going to be giving any credit card numbers to support staff for 
configuration issues that are omitted
from the installer application and darned sure omitted from the documentation!  There 
are just too many alternatives to
get the job done with much less hassle and unproductive time expenditure..

 What is it that you dois it in a shared environment?

I run several testsites in different shared hosting configurations where 
I demo i18n stuff. Since they include the ability to upload files for 
others, I have them run in a sandbox.
General load is below the noise level, but I have ran stresstests on the 
server for a weekend and didn't encounter any problems.


I have not encountered any stability issues with Sandbox Security. I 
have reported my share of bugs with CF MX in general, but none that had 
anything to do with Sandbox Security.
I only found a bug with Sandbox Security once, but that was a security 
issue, not a stability issue and Macromedia has released a patch [1] for 
that.

That is not to say there are no issues:
- the fact that limiting the number of connections to a datasource does 
not work (bug 49409) is more likely to have adverse consequences in a 
shared hosting scenario as on a dedicated server.
- I have not yet seen a shared hosting control panel supporting CF MX.
- the inability to flush compiled templates from cache is a pain (you 
can remove them from disk by examining them for a string containing the 
original file location, but not from RAM)

But none of these are stability issues.
If I were to configure CF MX Enterprise Edition I would not hesitate to 
switch on Sandbox Security even if I don't need it, just for the ability 
to limit file upload to directories where file execution is not enabled 
and more of that stuff.

 should not expect an official answer here.  If the MM folks on this 
 list
 feel this is the case, at least acknowledge me and tell me who to talk 
 to at
 MM for an answer.

Nobody from Macromedia ever told anyone from a hosting company that 
CFMX was not stable enough to run in a shared hosting environment 
(which, if I remember correctly, was your original question).  We have 
worked with a few hosting providers to resolve stability issues in the 
past, and those fixes were included in updaters one and two, and there 
may be additional fixes in updater three.  Does that answer you 
question?

 Uh, that's not true. I confirmed a working stable CFMX ODBC
 connection to
 SQL Server 2000; it's not mine, but a friend's site (U.S. gov't, internal,
 relatively high-load, using trusted connections because it's
 required by the
 security specification). I posted that earlier this afternoon.

Dave,
Are you suggesting that if we move our SQL-Server ODBC Connections
to trusted ODBC connections...that will resolve the problems?
I hope this is true...

My suspicions are the Connection Pooling and Re-Use in CFMX ODBC
is not working right... reason being...we get connection drops only
during peak hours of activity. Bouncing CFMX ODBC services resolves
the issue temporarily.

Jochem,
We know JDBC Drivers exist and WORK, this conversation popped up a while
ago.

We are trying to RESOLVE ANY ISSUEs with the CFMX ODBC Server/Engine

IF something like CFHttp doens't work in CFMX, the answer to that
is NOT.. Hey go download CFX_HTTPVer2 (written by...).. is it?

Others here have also noted the same problem, Can Anybody from
Macromedia Comment on this ODBC issue?
OR
can Macromeida tell us... WE HAVE A BUG in ODBC Engine, Go use JDBC!

It shouldn't be, but that would depend on issues like deadlines, delayed 
delivery fines etc.

There might be valid reasons not to use a pure Java driver, but it might 
also be a leftover from a previous CF. And considering that even 
Macromedia does not recommend using ODBC-JDBC bridges, I am just asking 
why ODBC is used.

 why ODBC is used.

Well, we never upgraded Production to CF5.0, we ran CF4.5 ENT in Production
with Client Access Express for 2 Years. NO Problems whatsoever.

We upgraded to CFMX from CF4.5 (kept all configurations) and we started
seeing Client Access ODBC Problems, for every connection drop..
our debugging mode..picks up and emails admins...So we know whats goin on.

Others here have noted the same problems. If CFMX ODBC is NOT supposed
to work, it shouldnt be there in the first place.

 but it might also be a leftover from a previous CF

CFMX ODBC Agent and CFXM ODBX Server are services introduced in CFMX.
These services didnt exist in CF5.0 or CF4.5

I really hope someone from Macromedia can explain
1. Why ODBC Connections are dropping in CFMX?
2. Is this a Known/acknowledged Issue?
3. Is Macromedia working on this ODBC issue in CFMX?

Thanks

Re: ODBC Problems?

This is the reason we have those proper channels, such as tech support and
the wish list.

If you post an issue here, we may not see it, and if we do, we may not get
the info needed, or have it logged correctly in the bug base.

The people who monitor the wish list and tech support know what info to ask
for, and can log it properly in the bug base.

So, if you don't want to use those channels, that is fine. But you should
not expect to get one on one support from macromedia without going through
those channels.

 I am not the ONLY person that has complained about 
 CFMX ODBX Problems, others here have reported the 
 problem as well. Switching to a JDBC driver is not 
 the answer to CFMX ODBC problems.

It might be, actually. I would recommend that you try it out, if you have a
JDBC driver available. Sure, it might be a pain, but why would you expect
ODBC to necessarily work as well from Java through JDBC as it did with no
extra middleware layer in CF 5?

Re: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-04 Thread Bryan Stevenson
Mike,

I would like to hear the official line from Macromedia regarding the
stability of CFMX in production environments...especially regarding shared
hosting.

As I've posted before on this list (and I think you took the info from me to
follow up on it and never got back to me), a local ISP that upgraded to CFMX
had major issues and were eventually told by Macromedia tech support that
CFMX was not stable enough for shared hosting.

So is this Macromedia's position or not?  I'm not looking to point fingers
and start some kind of MM flame war or anything.  I simply want to be able
to tell my clients the truth...no matter what it is.

I personally love CFMX and especially love Flash remoting.  No matter what
your answer is I will still use theses products (although I may not advise
clients to use CFMX if there are still issues).  If there are issues, I will
simply wait until they are resolved before advising clients to use CFMX.  Of
course if I get lied to and then incorrectly advise a client to use CFMX
I'll be one pissed CF developer ;-)

BTW the use proper channels line is getting old.  I don't think paying
customers should have to pay even more just to make MM's bug tracking system
work.  Change the system so someone such as yourself can report a bug that
you see on lists.  The bottom line should be making the product the best it
can be and NOT following proper channels.

Thanks for reading

Cheers

 This is the reason we have those proper channels, such as tech support and
 the wish list.

 If you post an issue here, we may not see it, and if we do, we may not get
 the info needed, or have it logged correctly in the bug base.

 The people who monitor the wish list and tech support know what info to
ask
 for, and can log it properly in the bug base.

 So, if you don't want to use those channels, that is fine. But you should
 not expect to get one on one support from macromedia without going through
 those channels.

RE: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-04 Thread Jim Campbell
Our company came across an issue regarding Oracle stored procedures when we
tested an MX upgrade.  After some back-and-forth with the SP's themselves -
triple-checking parameters and making sure they actually *did* work in the
first place, some questions with other CF developers, and some JDBC and JDK
upgrades, we registered a ticket with MM tech support, and lo and behold,
it's an inherent problem with CFMX's Oracle connectivity.

This was a setback for us, as we were hoping to migrate to MX and utilize
its features to re-architect our major applications.  While we'll have to
hold off (and use MX as an ancillary server for now), we did take the
initiative to go through the proper channels with MM and get a team assigned
to what turned out to be an issue that _will_ be addressed in a future
upgrade.  This will guarantee this problem won't show up in later releases,
and we'll have a guaranteed fix as opposed to a workaround.

I could put it this way - would you rather users of your applications
complain about program bugs and other problems on a mailing list that you
check on occasion, or register the problem with you directly, so you could
assess the severity immediately?

On 3/4/03, Michael T. Tangorre penned:
I find your post rather brash, and not necessary for this venue. No one is

To be fair, CFMX is a VERY frustrating product. I don't even own a 
copy. I opened an account with Crystal Tech so I could test some 
applications. I'm sure Crystal Tech, from everything I've heard about 
them, is very knowledgeable and likely has CFMX optimized as well as 
possible. But just from testing one application, I've been pulling my 
hair out, on silly errors that show up on perfectly good code and 
should not be there.

No one forces anyone to upgrade (well, except maybe you know who), 
but when you purchase a product that is advertised as being a 
release version and not beta, you have some right to expect a 
working, somewhat stable product. From the little experience I've had 
with CFMX, A WORKING, STABLE PRODUCT IT IS NOT!

It is FULL of bugs. Some which are just ridiculous and make no sense, 
like the Insert query problem I posted about earlier.

This product should still be deeply in Beta. But it isn't. So if MM 
is going to take our hard earned money to be their Beta testers, then 
the least they could do is cheerfully give free support (without 
asking for a credit card) until the product is ready. heck, I'm still 
on 4.51 because they never finished getting the bugs out of CF5, like 
the headers showing up after a cflocation.

The whole thing stinks of M$.

Sorry for the rant.

I hear you, however I'm referring to situations such as this list (and
granted there are some ifs involved).

-if Mike or someone else from MM sees a potential bug on a list
-if they can get the info you laid out Dave (and this can be easily obtained
by asking the poster)

Then they should be able to get that info into the system.  Would anyone
hear only consider something a bug if a client called you up and paid you
for the honor of reporting it?  I think not

The bottom line should be using all resources possible to make the product
work and work properly and not limiting MM employees to the tech support
process for finding and fixing things.  Lists like this should be considered
a gold mine of information (granted it needs some filtering) and not
ignored.

my 2 cents...but I hear ya Dave

Mike,
We dont have any support licences and as far as i know
to contact Tech Support we have to pay for the support.
   
This is really a Macromedia Product (CFMX) Problem and we
are not willing to pay to resolve MM Product Problems.
Please let me know, if you can help.
   
Thanks
Joe Eugene

 It might be, actually. I would recommend that you try it out, if
 you have a
 JDBC driver available

Dave,
I got the JDBC driver working. The purpose of this whole post
is to find out why the CFMX ODBC Agent/Server is not working/stable?

I never saw any MM documentation saying that CFMX ODBC Connections are
NOT Stable or NOT supposed to work.

  I am not the ONLY person that has complained about
  CFMX ODBX Problems, others here have reported the
  problem as well. Switching to a JDBC driver is not
  the answer to CFMX ODBC problems.

 It might be, actually. I would recommend that you try it out, if
 you have a
 JDBC driver available. Sure, it might be a pain, but why would you expect
 ODBC to necessarily work as well from Java through JDBC as it did with no
 extra middleware layer in CF 5?

 As someone who's been on both sides of the tech support fence, I
 don't think
 Macromedia has any choice but to use proper channels. It's not as simple
 as reporting a bug based on second-hand information.

Does Macromedia have a CFMX Bug submission site? I would happy to
submit any bugs in such a manner. Am not willing to give my credit

  BTW the use proper channels line is getting old. I
  don't think paying customers should have to pay even
  more just to make MM's bug tracking system work. Change
  the system so someone such as yourself can report a
  bug that you see on lists. The bottom line should be
  making the product the best it can be and NOT
  following proper channels.

 running? What database are they running? What database driver? What patch
 level? For anything beyond the most trivial problem, you need a
 back-and-forth communication between the person having the
 problem, and the
 tech support person. It's as simple as that.

 This product should still be deeply in Beta. But it isn't. So if MM
 is going to take our hard earned money to be their Beta testers, then
 the least they could do is cheerfully give free support (without
 asking for a credit card) until the product is ready

I second this as well...i have personally spend hours testing CFMX...
Alot of unproductive hours.. and Macromedia wants us to pay to REPORT
bugs in CFMX. This is riduculous.

 I find your post rather brash, and not necessary for this venue.
 No one is
 forcing you to use MX.

 To be fair, CFMX is a VERY frustrating product. I don't even own a
 copy. I opened an account with Crystal Tech so I could test some
 applications. I'm sure Crystal Tech, from everything I've heard about
 them, is very knowledgeable and likely has CFMX optimized as well as
 possible. But just from testing one application, I've been pulling my
 hair out, on silly errors that show up on perfectly good code and
 should not be there.

 No one forces anyone to upgrade (well, except maybe you know who),
 but when you purchase a product that is advertised as being a
 release version and not beta, you have some right to expect a
 working, somewhat stable product. From the little experience I've had
 with CFMX, A WORKING, STABLE PRODUCT IT IS NOT!

 It is FULL of bugs. Some which are just ridiculous and make no sense,
 like the Insert query problem I posted about earlier.

 This product should still be deeply in Beta. But it isn't. So if MM
 is going to take our hard earned money to be their Beta testers, then
 the least they could do is cheerfully give free support (without

 on 4.51 because they never finished getting the bugs out of CF5, like
 the headers showing up after a cflocation.

 The whole thing stinks of M$.

 Sorry for the rant.

Re: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-04 Thread samcfug
MM marketing employees frequently post to the effect that support along the line
of installation is free, however will not acknowledge that the channels that
when followed remain an exercise in frustration.

While you may post what are obvious bugs to a wish list, that is not in reality
a bug tracking system.  Most importantly, is that for the most part users that
are trying to avail themselves of free installation support run up against a
stone wall when trying to deal with a non-responsive support system.  When you
do get a reply from a support request, it will be 1. months late.  2. usually a
canned response along the lines of read the documentation.

I know I am not alone when I express my own desire to spend no more unproductive
time with broken software from MM,  along with broken updates when there are
tools that are available that are less expensive, more stable, with prompt,
attentive support systems.

Yup.

Personally I haven't been able to get it to work on Win2k on two dev servers.  One is 
running a dev edition of CFMX.  The other is running a full copy of Pro.  Forgot about 
a 3rd:  My laptop also has a full copy of Pro on it and I had identical problems.  
Seemed like ODBC just didn't want to stay connected.  

The JDBC worked fine so I didn't worry too much further about it, but if I were trying 
to run Oracle 8i on CFMX Pro (I was) in a production environment (fortunately I was 
not, so I ran my tests on an MX dev edition) then I'd really have my work cut out for 
me trying to find another set of drivers.

RE: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-04 Thread Jeff Garza
I have the ODBC connector working with a SQL Server database in my
development environment.  It's the only way we have right now to connect
to our SQL Servers as our DBA is loath to enable SQL Server
Authentication.  We run our CFMX service as a named domain account that
has rights to the database.  It works fine, albeit, there is very little
load on this server and due to the config of the server, we do not load
test on it. 

Specs are CFMX Updater 2, IIS 5.0, Win2k Server (Standard), SQL Server
2000 with SP 2 applied.

I think that the key here is running CFMX as a named user.  I couldn't
get it to work when it ran as system.

HTH,

Jeff Garza

 environment (fortunately I was not, so I ran my tests on an MX dev
 edition) then I'd really have my work cut out for me trying to find
 another set of drivers.

I have the ODBC connector working with a SQL Server database in my
development environment.  It's the only way we have right now to connect
to our SQL Servers as our DBA is loath to enable SQL Server
Authentication.  We run our CFMX service as a named domain account that
has rights to the database.  It works fine, albeit, there is very little
load on this server and due to the config of the server, we do not load
test on it. 

Specs are CFMX Updater 2, IIS 5.0, Win2k Server (Standard), SQL Server
2000 with SP 2 applied.

I think that the key here is running CFMX as a named user.  I couldn't
get it to work when it ran as system.

RE: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-04 Thread Jeff Garza
The account that it's running as does have admin rights on the dev
machine (it's a member of the local administrators group) but it's a
domain account.  I haven't had the time to work up the proper security
configuration for it to work as a less priveledged user.  Although, I
would imagine that it can be done.

RE: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-04 Thread Joe Eugene
 I have the ODBC connector working with a SQL Server database in my
 development environment.

We havent noticed any CFMX ODBC Connection problems in our development
box either.. this box has no Load.. just 3 developers on this box. Our tests
on development box..didnt have any problems.. thats why we took CFMX
to Production with this configuration.

However.. as soon as we got some load on CFMX in production...
CFMX ODBC Connections started dropping...
Stop and Re-start CFMX ODBC Services and everything starts working for an
hour under load and then starts dropping connections again.

 I think that the key here is running CFMX as a named user.  I couldn't
 get it to work when it ran as system.

I am not sure, if this had any relevance.

  What do you think this Venue is for?
  I am glad you find it annoying... that was intentional!.
 
  you aren't to bright are you?
 
  guess we all have our opinions
 
  if you have a problem with MM tell them about it, I don't
  understand why you
  feel you need to come here and do it.  Do you think this group has
magic
  powers  and if you cry for them long enough, they will fix your
  every whim?
  lol
 
  Every program has its problems and it seems to me that MM does a
  fairly good
  job of getting them fixed.
 
  Hell, I have issues with M$ but I don't go to the adobe group and
  cry about
  it.

 I find your post rather brash, and not necessary for this

If the issue is a CFMX issue, then you do not have to pay
anything.
  
   What else do u think it is?... I am not wasting my time on
this
  anymore..
   if you want... GO FIX YOUR PRODUCT (CFMX). Its quite
  obvious from
other
   posts here, CFMX is not production stable(continuous
problems). When a
   problem gets reported, MM Folks should atleast show the
courtesy
  to
   acknowledge the problem and try to fix it...NOT ask
  developers to
  go
  though
   the proper channel.
  
   I am not the ONLY person that has complained about CFMX
ODBX Problems,
   others here have reported the problem as well. Switching to a
  JDBC driver
   is not the answer to CFMX ODBC problems.

 Mike,
 We dont have any support licences and as far as i know
 to contact Tech Support we have to pay for the support.

 This is really a Macromedia Product (CFMX) Problem and we
 are not willing to pay to resolve MM Product Problems.
 Please let me know, if you can help.

 Thanks
 Joe Eugene

RE: ODBC Problems?

2003-03-03 Thread Joe Eugene
Sounds like the CFMX ODBC Connection Polling Framework, whatever it
uses might be acting up.
Question is...Has anybody seen problems with CFMX ODBC connections being
dropped?
Either SQL-Server ODBC or any other ODBC configured with CFMX.

 Subject: ODBC Problems?


 I'm getting errors with my MX box trying to connect to an AS/400.  After
 about an hour the MX server hangs.  Stopping and starting the
 ODBC services
 generally clears it up.  Just wondering if anyone has any ideas
 or if anyone
 is experiencing similar problems ?  Here is one of the error messages I am
 receiving.

 :[MERANT][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][IBM][Client Access Express
 ODBC Driver (32-bit)][DB2/400 SQL]Communication link failure.

 Thanks.

In MX, I sure have.  I couldn't get reliable performance on dev or live boxes, using 
both Pro and Developer (running as Enterprise before its 30 days were up), unless I 
used the native drivers.  Got the error you described exactly, if I recall correctly.  
Was trying to use SQL Server (latest MSDE), Oracle (9i, I think), mySQL and Access via 
odbc and couldn't get it to work.  In fairness this was in a pre-update initial 
release of cfmx.

Interesting, Thanks Matt.

Ok, looks like we have a problem with the CFMX ODBC Sever Engine.
Can someone from MM Product Team clarify whats happening?
Is this an MM aware issue, any patches available?

Thanks
Joe Eugene
