Clustering and CF9 Standard?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions that I was hoping to get answered around ColdFusion 9 and clustering. Currently, we run CF8 and IIS on the same box with a dedicated db server and serve up about 10 applications. We are starting to look at clustering and I wanted to know:
1. With CF 9 Standard, can we setup clustering? Our apps have session vars and we want to use sticky sessions but I'm unsure if we can do that just with CF9 Standard.
2. Does CF play well with VMware? If so, does anyone have any success stories around Virtualizing CF?
Thanks,

1. No, you can not set up clustering in CF Standard. You could set up multiple servers and let a load balancer handle the distributio of requests over the servers, but then you do not have session failover. This may meet your requirements. Or not.
2. It works just fine. I can't remember when I set up CF for the last time on a non VMware system.

Help with CF9 Standard Install and Mac OS Server (Snow Leopard Server)

Hello,
I recently purchased a mac mini server (with snow leopard server) and will be using it to host my CF9 applications. This install is WAY different than the install needed on a windows machine. I tried to install it once and somehow hosed up Apache and now I can't even get it to start up (apache). So I am having the colo company to do a full restore of the server and I took notes on the Mac Server install and below is the questions I have.
1.) Since Snow Leopard Server comes with Apache webserver, it is what CF wants to use. This is fine, I just need to know where these things are...
It is asking for the Configuration Directory: I'm guessing it is /private/etc/apache2 ? Right or Wrong???
2.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server binary: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/httpd is this right or should I point it to another directory?
3.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server script: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/apachectl is this right or should I point it to another directory?
It also wants the location where I can place the CFIDE. Can I place this anywhere I wish or is there a preferred location to point this to?
and finally, I have CF9 Standard, so on the mac server should I install it as a server configuration (self contained instance) or Enterprise Multiserver config. I was reading online that its better to install as an Enterprise Multiserver setup, but I don't know if this will work for me since I'm useing the standard edition.
Please Help ANYONE, if you have mac os experience and installing CF9 onto a mac server
Thanks

I have been getting this exact same problem. CF installer is somehow writing some invalid information into the httpd.conf file. I was able to replace the httpd.conf file with the default one, and was able to go through the webconnector process again and (sometimes randomly) it works. I also spent about 4 hours on the line with adobe CF support and made no progress beyond what I'll post here .
To answer your questions about file locations:
/private/etc/apache2/ for the httpd.conf files
/usr/sbin/ for both the apachectl and the httpd binaries
Although I'm able to get past where you are, and it seems to work correctly, Immediately upon adding a new site via server admin it all breaks. Coldfusion then will only work if I manually go to a cfm document. For example: http://example.com/ will give me the raw text from the (default index) index.cfm file. But typing http://example.com/index.cfm works.
I am lost here as well. After 4 hours on the phone with adobe support I would have hoped it would be an easy fix. I've completely nuked and reinstalled the server from scratch with the exact same results both times.
Does anyone have the slightest clue about what may be going on here?

Please explain how to connect to an Oracle database with CF9 standard

Can someone walk me through this process? I am trying to help a group that upgraded frmo cf8 enterprise to cf9 standard.

1. You'll need to download the Oracle JDBC Drivers (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html)
2. Put the appropriate .jar files in your <coldfusion>/lib folder
3. Restart CF
4. Create a Datasource using the "Other" option
5. Create an appropriate connection string
Examples:
jdbc:oracle:thin:[USER/PASSWORD]@[HOST][:PORT]:SID
jdbc:oracle:thin:[USER/PASSWORD]@//[HOST][:PORT]/SERVICE
It has been a long time since I have done this, but I have done it and know it works. I remember the issue with SID vs SERVICE being a huge PITA.
Good luck,
Jason

CF9 Standard on virtual server

I have 3 boxes, each running CF9 standard(I purchased 3 standard licenses).
Can I virtualize these 3 boxes onto one box and still use my 3 CF9 standard licenses on each virtual instance?

Nope, sorry, you can't do this with CF9 Standard. Enterprise Only.

IIS7 and CF9 Installation

Can anyone point me in the right direction for set-up information regarding IIS7 and CF9? I can't seem to get CF9 working. I am running IIS7 on a Windows 2008 Standard x64 server and a fresh install of CF9. The install documentation seems sparse and unspecific. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

See the CF9 documentation.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color individually?

Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color of the bar meter individually for each element of the array? I have just figured out that you can't change properties of one element of the array without all elements changing. For the scaling I had to make numeric indicators for each tick of the scale so that each bar meter in the clustered array would have individual scales. I also had to do some math to scale each barmeter to display correct proportions from 0 to 100%. Now I'm stumped on the color of the bar meter. Basically, if the value goes over a setpoint, the bar meter needs to turn red. It has to be in an array to be infinitely scalable.
Thanks
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't do that-
without a little trick.
You could consider laying a custom color box over the bar graph in the cluster you can set the color based on the value of the bar graph or even make a "Pseudo"- bar graph using a series of color boxes stacked to look lie a bar and changing values of the Color boxs from empty to full to red.
Here is an example to demonstrate

Standard and Non-standard exports and queries issue

Hi,
We have created a few STANDARD books with standard exports in them. The standard exports use standard queries.
The ISSUE is that in the Verifications/Filters tab, where we have put in a lot of queries - ONLY the STANDARD queries show up. We would like to have all the queries show up. I am the adminsitrator and still only the standard ones show up.
I am worried that if I "Save As" the export as a non-standard export, it does not allow me to uncheck the standard tick column and save it but I have to manually change the name of the export. Can we change this in anyway?
Is there a system preference where I can allow all the queries to show up in the verifications/filter tab at least for the admnistrators if not for all? Thanks
- Ad

Thanks for your input but DRM does seem to be behaving what you said or may be I am still missing something here.
I created a standard query.
I have a standard export.
Now, in the verification/filter tab of my Standard export, I am able to see my standard queries.
But,
I am unable to see the Non-Standard Queries.
HOWEVER,
If I have a Non-Standard export --> I am able to ALL the queries. This makes it a lot more flexible in doing things.
My question is the WHY are my standard exports not able to reach the non-standard queries. What I wanted to do a twist in my export for analysis purposes for a particular use. If non-standard exports have access to Standard and Non-Standard queries --> it just makes more sense to always use a non-standard export and create non-standard queries.

Cant change COST CENTER GROUPS and/or Standard Hierarchy

Hello all,
im facing some problems during change of COST CENTER GROUPS and/or Standard hierarchy.
When im trying to select im getting following error Value maintenance not allowed ->Standard Hierarchy
When i do get the selection of the cost center that i want to remove from the hierarchy im getting this error Function is not supported in the standard hierarchy.
I dont know anymore what to do.
ive searched in forum and google but still didnt find enything usefull.
Regards
Laurynas Prikockis

Hello,
There is no word called removal in SAP. It would have been properly pronounced if say "Delete".
In case of delete, I do accept, there should not be any planned or actual line items during the fiscal year. If there are any actual or planned lines items you cannot delete the cost center during that period.
However, you can still delete the cost center in the next fiscal year if there are no actual or planned line items.
Hope this makes clear.
Regards,
Ravi

Maxdb new features - Page Clustering and Prefetch

Hi to all,
2 new features of maxdb are available with new patches: Page Clustering and Prefetch in OLTP-Systems.
Are there any experiences to this features?
READAHEAD_TABLE_THRESHOLD
"This parameter is used to specify, if read operations of tables
should be optimized, i.e. if during a table access more than the
specified value in pages is affected, servertasks will be used to
read ahead pages of this table."
I activated this parameter in November. The system now starts more quickly and some expensive sql-statements may be faster. But the average db-time didn't change.
Page Clustering can be activated with parameter: DATA_IO_BLOCK_COUNT
Then tables can be migrated with SQL-Statement: ALTER TABLE <table name> CLUSTER
I activated this only for one table. This table now is read much faster.
My questions.
Is there a documentation available for this features?
How can I "uncluster" clustered tables?
When this features are activated, expensive sql-statements are processed much faster. Because of the high workload on storagesystem, all other transaction may get slower?
regards
Franz

> 2 new features of maxdb are available with new patches: Page Clustering and Prefetch in OLTP-Systems.
First of all: both features, although technically available, are not yet generally released for OLTP usage.
The current implementation of page prefetching is explicitely a proof-of-concept implementation which should be used by recommendation from MaxDB support only.
There are several limitations to the functionality at the moment, e.g. it does only work for table scans.
It does not work for joins, for index builds neither does it work on clustered tables.
Prefetching is available to 7.6 release only at the moment, so after an upgrade to 7.7 this feature would be gone...
> I activated this parameter in November. The system now starts more quickly and some expensive sql-statements may be faster. But the average db-time didn't change.
Well, nothing surprising here.
On SAP start there happen a lot of tablescans, mostly attributable to the fully buffered tables for the ABAP internals (security, ddic, etc.)
These statements will of course benefit if the pages are now read into the buffer in parallel.
For the avg. db-time: be happy!
This basically means, that most of the statements running in your system aren't processed by table scans, which is for MaxDB nearly always a very good thing.
> Page Clustering can be activated with parameter: DATA_IO_BLOCK_COUNT
> Then tables can be migrated with SQL-Statement: ALTER TABLE <table name> CLUSTER
Ok, page clustering is not documented yet (just as prefetching is not officially documented) and not released for OLTP.
> I activated this only for one table. This table now is read much faster.
>
> My questions.
> Is there a documentation available for this features?
Hmm.. you're using undocumented features - what do you expect?`
No, currently there is no official documentation.
There is work going on to provide official documentation but none of it is released yet (and it will take some more time!)
> How can I "uncluster" clustered tables?
ALTER TABLE <tablename> NOT CLUSTER
> When this features are activated, expensive sql-statements are processed much faster. Because of the high workload on storagesystem, all other transaction may get slower?
It's not that simple.
Both features address specific issues and are used only in very specific circumstances.
The clustering feature will not improve performance if the table is not accessed via the cluster key.
In fact, it may even decrease performance if this is done.
Also, at the moment clustered tables don't stay clustered on updates/inserts/deletes.
Therefore it is not necessarily a good idea to cluster tables like REPOLOAD pr REPOSRC on a development system.

Lars

Can I install Web Standard CS4 and Design Standard CS4 on the same machine?

Can I install Web Standard CS4 and Design Standard CS4 on the same machine? My company purchased me a copy of one, and I have a personal copy of the other. Wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any serial number problems in any case...thanks!

Yes, but do a custom install to choose the apps to install to avoid any possibility of conflicts.
