404 handler, variable availability and errors

Question

I have a custom 404 error handler (404.cfm) set up in
ColdFusion 7 (Coldfusion is set up to use an external web server
which is IIS, IIS passes 404's to coldfusion, and coldfusion uses
its custom missing template handler)
The problem I have in the 404.cfm page is being able to
access certain scope variables, the application scope for example
seems to be non existent, I can get to the server and cgi
variables, but not application.
Is there a particular reason for this? it only happens when a
requested .cfm file doesn't exist, if it's an html page or anything
else that doesn't exist, the 404 page works like any other page and
has the application scope available.

Answer 1

you said3. I run the SQR by pressing the PS_HOME\bin\sqr\MSS\binw\sqrw.exe and I type in my report name, datasource, username and password then click ok then the command came out.

What you didn't do was set the SQR arguments in the Report Arguments section. You need to supply the arguments as follow:
-ZIF%PS_HOME%\sqr\pssqr.ini -i%PS_HOME%\sqr -fc:\temp\youroutput.htm -printer:ht -keep
You have to do this for each SQR you want to start.
To avoid typing these arguments every time, create a shortcut of sqrw.exe, on your desktop, or where ever your like and open the properties of the shortcut and change to command line to
%PS_HOME%\bin\sqr\ORA\binw\sqrw.exe -ZIF%PS_HOME%\sqr\pssqr.ini -i%PS_HOME%\sqr -fc:\temp\youroutput.htm -printer:ht -keep
Now when you dubble click on the shortcut the arguments will be filled in automatically.
Change %PS_HOME% in above statements to your PS_HOME.
