Install K2 Verity Search on Cold Fusion Mx7

Does anyone have any documentation, a KB article, or
experience installing and configuring the K2 Verity Search Server
on Cold Fusion MX 7?
We have Cold Fusion running but it doesn't look like any of
the Verity services are installed. I've found KB articles related
to K2 Verity on version 5, but not for verion 7.

We already have Cold Fusion installed, but somehow the Verity
Search Server was never installed as part of the normal install
process.
Quote from doc:
Installing the Verity search server separately
By default, the installer installs the Verity search server on
the same computer as
ColdFusion MX 7. To enable searches using Verity, if you
want to install the Verity search server
on a different computer from the one where you install
ColdFusion MX 7, you must install the
Verity search server separately. For more information, see
“Installing the Verity search server
So I guess what you're saying is to download the packages and
install Verity?

It's ironic that you accused me of not searching when you haven't bothered to search the error message yourself. If you had you would know the search does not return useful results until this post.
    Sorry, I only searched for --asroot which brought up several relevant threads.
    No big deal, but in general you shouldn't post things like "search the forum" as it's rarely helpful, and when it is the thread should probably be closed it those cases anyways...

  • What can be done when Cold Fusion 9 ODBC Services will not install?

    What can be done when 64-bit Cold Fusion 9 ODBC Service will not install on a Windows Server 2008-R2 64-bit machine? Yes, most of the things in other discussions have been tried.

    Hi GDMVU,
    Save the below code as CF9_RemoveOdbc.cfm
    <cfscript>
      //login using admin 
      //createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("administrator_password" );
      createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin");            
      //instantiate datasource object
      myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource");
    </cfscript>
    <cfscript> 
         writeOutput("Removing ODBC Services...<br>"); 
         returnValue = myObj.removeODBCservice(); 
         writeOutput("ODBC Services removed"); 
    </cfscript>
    Save the below code as CF9_InstallOdbc.cfm
    <cfscript>
      //login using admin 
      //createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("administrator_password" );
      createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin");
      //instantiate datasource object
      myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource");
    </cfscript>
    <cfscript> 
             writeOutput("Installing ODBC Services...<br>"); 
             returnValue = myObj.installODBCservice(); 
             writeOutput("ODBC Services installed"); 
    </cfscript>
    Now try the following steps:-
    Change admin password in above .cfm pages for your CF 9 server.
    Use RemoveObdc cfm page first to remove any existing faulty/corrupted Odbc services.
    Use InstallOdbc Odbc services to install Odbc services there.
    Hope this helps.

    I believe your MX Studio came with a developer edition of
    CFMX 6.0. There are now several newer editions. Each is greatly
    improved over the original CFMX (over 5 years old now). I would
    recommend you uninstall CFMX6 and install the latest CFMX 7.02 at:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusion
    or at least install CFMX 6.1 updater 1. Both are available at the
    same URL. The bottom dropdown is for CFMX 6.1. Each of the CFMX
    installers allows you to choose between a trial version (enterprise
    for 30 days, then developer) or a licensed version if you have a
    license. The original CFMX 6.0 is not a good option at this point
    in time.

  • Cold Fusion Issue

    Hi There my name is Javier and I am a baby on this java issues.
    I am having this problem trying to get the pay flow program from VeriSign to work with the cold fusion administrator I did all the steps but when I test it came out with an error saying that I need to install the JVM or JRE because it didn't find it so you need to tell the path of the jvm.dll on the Cold Fusion Administrator in order for this test to run succesfully.
    I did a search for jvm.dll nothin but I notice there is some java files there so I did a test went to this site download jre 4.1.1.8 and install it on my home computer the installation went fine and then I notice the installation creates a directory called JRE4.1.1.8 and I did a search for the jvm.dll but also ntohing like that shows up instead I found two dll files, javai.dll and another java dll file but the question is: IF i DESIRE TO INSTALL THE NEW VERSION OF JVM ON THE SERVER WHAT DLL FILE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO BE DEFINE ON THE COLD FUSION ADMINISTRATOR, was there any changes from the last version of JVM to the news version I am assuming there is but I don't know what to look for.
    Any help on this matter would be highly appreciated.

    Did you figure out the solution to your problem? I am running into the same issue.

  • Flash Builder 4.5 and Cold Fusion Builder 2.0

    I evaluated Flash Builder 4.0 and my company purchased Flash Builder 4.5.  The upgrade to the new version turned into a nightmare.  I had notice Cold Fusion Builder came with my FB4.5 and so I installed it as well.  Once I finally got my projects working again with the new version, I attempted to learn to use CF.  But it appears CF Builder 2 does not come with everything you need.  I am guessing it requires CF 9.?.  Is this true?  If so, then why give us CF Builder with my FB4.5 if its not going to work?  Or was something just missing?

    I dunno; I'm not a server side admn.  But information on working with ColdFusion and GlassFish does come up in Google
    http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=GlashFish&oq=GlashFish&aq=f&aqi=g-s10& aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=60l225l0l2843l3l2l0l0l0l0l254l407l0.1.1l2#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&s ource=hp&q=GlashFish+and+ColdFusion&pbx=1&oq=GlashFish+and+ColdFusion&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm =e&gs_upl=12486l14136l0l14294l15l9l0l0l0l0l319l2068l0.1.5.2l8l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp .&fp=6a8ed33a17731f09&biw=1067&bih=685
    It sounds like Glassfish is an application server; just like ColdFusion (or PHP or LiveCycle).  Application servers are not usually the same as web servers, although many app servers integrate with web servers.
    I Glassfish is Java it seems probable that you could deploy an instance of ColdFusion onto Glassfish.

  • Updater 2 and Dreamweaver's Cold Fusion development server

    Hello,
    I am in the process of developing a Cold Fusion Web
    application for my university dean's office using...
    <cfobject type="COM" action="create" name="Chart"
    Class="Corda.Embedder">
    ...and I am receiving this error message...
    An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object.
    ...the Corda documentation states the following, and I agree
    with them that this is what I am experiencing and need to do...
    COM Corda Embedder (Windows)
    If you are using ColdFusion MX on Windows, be sure you have
    updated your server to the latest version using the ColdFusion MX
    Updater Release 1. This is available at
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/releasenotes_mx_updater.html.
    You will need to apply this update to fix a bug in ColdFusion MX
    that prevents it from accessing Window’s Component Object
    Model (COM).
    Other than that, you don’t need to do anything. The COM
    version of the Corda Embedder is installed automatically for you.
    ...I am running Windows XP Professional 2002 SP2, and the
    Cold Fusion Developer Server THAT COMES WITH Dreamweaver 8.0. The
    Cold Fusion server is an established server running several CF
    applications. The Corda product is also known to be running fine,
    as I am able to view my current projects in a browser.
    Server Details
    Server Product ColdFusion MX
    Version 7,0,0,91690
    Edition Developer
    Serial Number Developer
    Operating System Windows XP
    OS Version 5.1
    1) Am I missing something with instantiating the COM object?
    2) How can I tell if I need the Cold Fusion updater?
    3) Which updater version do I download (1 or 2) and for which
    server (MX, MX7, Special Dreamweaver version)?
    4) Where do I install the updater - since I am running the
    Cold Fusion Developer Server that comes with Dreamweaver, it is not
    located in the default C:\CFusionMX7 directory?
    Thank You Very Much For Your Time,
    Nathan
    Technology Support Analyst, Sr.

    2) How can I tell if I need the Cold Fusion updater?
    Version 7,0,0,91690
    You are on Version 7MX, no updater. After the update you will
    have a
    version something like this.
    Version 7,0,1,xxxx OR Version 7,0,2,xxxx
    3) Which updater version do I download (1 or 2) and for which
    server
    (MX, MX7, Special Dreamweaver version)?
    You need to download and install at least updater 1 for MX 7
    per the COM
    instructions, updater 2 (which by default includes updater 1
    IIRC) could
    be even better, but has a small chance of doing something you
    don't want
    it to. One would have to read all the tech notes and make a
    decision.
    There is no "Special Dreamweaver" version, it is just the
    standard Free
    Development version anybody can download and install. "Serial
    Number
    Developer" And to turn this into a professional version all
    one has to
    do is purchase a license number an enter it into the
    administration
    panel. This converts a developer CF server to a Production CF
    server
    with no other downloading or installing necessary.
    4) Where do I install the updater - since I am running the
    Cold Fusion
    Developer Server that comes with Dreamweaver, it is not
    located in the
    default C:\CFusionMX7 directory?
    Most likely the installer will figure that out. If it does
    not, just
    provide the directory/file path to where your CF is installed
    when asked.

  • How not to use Cold Fusion and Java

    Overview
    This write up is intended to give java developers that are
    developing ColdFusion applications some beneficial information:
    things that are not documented.
    Scenario
    The company builds enterprise class web application software
    for fortune 500 companies. It had purchased a CF 7 based product,
    had and existing proprietary J2EE based product, and needed to
    integrate the two while meeting a host of new requirements. These
    requirements were based on delivering a better user experience,
    faster / cheaper integration, increased flexibility /
    configuration, useablily, decreasing maintenance costs, the ability
    to deploy in either install or ASP models. An initiative was
    started to create a new framework that integrated the best of each
    technologies. Tactically, this meant that we were to build a hybrid
    CF and java application: one that used building blocks (decoupled /
    cohesive components) that would allow applications to be rapidly
    assembled, configured and deployed. This made sense on several
    levels, the team was composed of Java and CF developers, the CF
    rapid application development was very productive, there is great
    functionality delivered in the CF platform and initial performance
    tests showed no cause for alarm
    The agreed upon design, based on requirements, and analysis
    by both the CF and Java staff has us using CF in the presentation
    layer, using a CF based MVC, use of CF based web services. The MVC
    was deployed using CFC inheritance for model objects and views made
    use of CF custom tags. The internals of the application, used a
    rules engine, some proprietary java, ORM, and other J2EE
    technology. The initial performance of the system was reasonable.
    We pushed on with product implementation.
    Then it was time to load test the application, and tune it.
    Under load the response times were orders of magnitude slower,
    sometimes the pages even timed out.
    Armed with our profiler, oracle execution plans and we
    charged ahead addressing issue after issue. Note that we took
    meticulous care in tweaking the active thread pool and ensuring
    that our CF setup was tuned for our application. None of the
    observations here are a condemnation of the language; rather they
    are aspects that, when considered together, not conducive for
    building integrated java and CF frameworks that use a structured /
    OO programming practices. Further detail can be provided on
    request.
    CFC inheritance should be avoided - resolution of variable
    scope is expensive even if properly declared.
    Since CF creates a class per method under the covers call
    stacks become very large, especially if used in a loop. This is
    nominally exacerbated by CF calls necessary to set up for the
    method call (String.toUpper()).
    Nesting of loops and if statements should be kept to a
    minimum - the conditional for each lookup of logical operator like
    LT, GT are synchronized. Under load this results in thread waits.
    Jrun has as single thread pool - both http and web service
    requests use the same pool. Under load this leads to thread
    deadlock. There are work arounds, but they are painful.
    Recursion should be avoided - we had a few recursive routines
    and these had to be rewritten.
    Custom Tags - should be used sparingly - each custom tag
    makes a synchronized call to the license server - (This may be
    fixed in CF 8)
    Summary
    In the end we got the performance to reasonable numbers, but
    we ended up moving some code to java (Custom Tags) and getting rid
    of 'good programming' practices (Inheritance, loops, etc), mandated
    proper variable scoping for those things left over. We prototyped a
    sans cold fusion implementation and had an order of magnitude
    improvement in performance and number of requests served per
    second.
    The lesson? Use Coldfusion in its sweet spot: make a query,
    iterate over the results and format for display. Extensive use of
    structure programming techniques or OO CFCs should be avoided: they
    will work but under load - but are better as a prototype. Building
    frameworks in CF? Think twice, no three times, and, if you must, be
    minimalist.
    Text

    interesting aslbert123,
    Not that I doubt you, but could you answer some questions
    about your implementation that was so slow:
    1.) Did you put your CFCs in the application or server scope?
    2.) Were you initializing your CFCs, via CreateObject or
    <cfinvoke>, on every request?
    3.) Are you sure that you were properly Var'ing every
    variable in your methods? (people typically forget about query
    names and loop iterator variables)
    4.) Could you give examples of how your inheritence was set
    up?
    5.) For CustomTags, did you call them the old <cf_tag>
    way or the newer, better-performing <cfimport> way?
    6.) How did you connect CF to Java exactly?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

  • Cold Fusion in a generic thread pool and enabling JAVA don't mix

    I've got Cold Fusion MX installed on a server running Sun One 6.1. I ran into a problem trying to enable JAVA (for servlet support) which I had previous disabled because I didn't use it.
    Well, when I went to enable JAVA on the server last week, the service wouldn't restart and the error logs gave me no indication of the problem.
    Through a tedious trial-and-error process I've found that having Cold Fusion running under a generic thread pool while trying to have JAVA (the j2ee plugin) running under Sun One simply doesn't work (for whatever reason).
    Once I killed the pool, everything runs fine.
    Does anyone happen to know why this is? I keep CFMX under its own thread pool because there are certain elements to CFMX that aren't wholly stable and can result in CFMX crashing. If it crashes, the process keeps accepting requests, but never processes them. I'd like to keep the native thread pool free to keep accepting non-CFMX requests even when CFMX crashes.
    Thus the separate thread pool for CFMX.
    But now I can't run CFMX in a separate thread pool with JAVA enabled.
    Anyone have any insights into why this is?
    Thanks

    Two things. Firstly, it's better to use     private static final Object classLock = new Object();because that saves you worrying about whether any other code synchronises on it. Secondly, if you do decide to go for the delegation route then java.lang.reflect.Proxy may be a good way forward.

  • Xp pro config question with cold fusion(newbie)

    Hello,
    I'm a beginner and I want to learn studio mx 2004.In trying
    to learn Macromedia MX for windows ,I've gone thru the installation
    process in the manual for installing Cold Fusion for the server
    side of things.My question is, I'm not sure if IIS is mnadatory in
    order to use cold fusion.Is it a case of using one or the other or
    is the IIS service required to run Cold Fusion? Also im using cold
    fusion5 is cold fusion mx = to cold fusion 6.1?

    Thanks for answering. Is there any benefits to running both
    servers? I
    don't want to confuse myself with too many
    options.Essentially,I could
    learn Dreamweaver (my ultimate goal) by using either
    installation.
    No, while it is possible to run multiple versions of CF, it
    takes extra
    configurations to do so. I would say this is unnecessary for
    just
    learning. I would strongly suggest upgrading. CF 5 is the
    oldest and
    most limited version of CF still officially supported by
    Adobe. The
    latest version is 7.0.2. There is a huge, major, complete
    rewrite of CF
    and many other bug fixes and enhancements between CF 5.x and
    the current
    version.
    The current version and all versions of CF are free for
    download from
    Adobe for a personal development copy. If you do so now,
    before you
    start writing code, the upgrade install IIRC is quite
    painless and will
    use the configurations you have already chosen.

  • Flex/cold fusion wizard & Visual Query builder has a problem

    has anybody tried the cold fusion / flex application wizard in flex 3?
    to get there follow these menu choices:
    file     new     other     cold fusion wizards     coldfusion / flex application wizard
    I previously installed cf8 and the rds query viewer works fine.
    i simply choose from the following menus:
    window     other views...     Cold Fusion     RDS dataview
    i was initially prompted for the rds password which i entered.
    in the RDS Dataview, I can see the tables, columns, and data for all my existing datasources.
    Unfortunately, when I use the COld Fusion/Flex application wizard,
    I get to the page layout and design screen, add a page with the name artists, choose page type master,  and click the Edit master page button.
    Nothing happens when I click the Edit Master Page button.  I followed the cf/flex tutorial exactly but there is no query builder.
    I dont know if this is related but in the RDS query viewer, the Visual Query BUilder doesn't work.
    I think this may be the problem (the visual query builder has a problem)
    Unfortunately, how do I fix this problem

    already found the answer
    flex has to be run as administrator if using WIndows Vista
    simply shut down flex, right click the startup icon, choose run as administrator, and the visual query builder runs fine.
    Dont know why this occurs because you are always prompted for the rds password.
    anyway, problem solved.

    Hi
    I've been tasked with updating a ColdFusion 9.0.1 installation to the latest patches.  I've started with Hotfix 4.  The installation appeared to go OK, and the services started after I applied the update.  However, when I went to moved onto the next update (APSB13-10) starting by browsing to the update file I ran into a problem.  When I click on the "browse server" button to locate the .jar file for the next update I encounter an error:  "Unable to authenticate on RDS server using current security information".  I've also found that if I try to put the full path into the Update File line and hit "Submit Changes" it errors.
    This seems to be the same problem as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5256752#5256752, but there's no solution to the problem in that discussion.
    I've checked the RDS settings, and RDS is unchecked.  I notice that this screen is different from the pre-upgrade screen, but this seems to be as a result of, I think, APSB13-03, which is included in HotFix 4.  If I try to make any changes on this screen it errors and logs me out of the Cold Fusion administrator.  I've tried commenting out the RDS section in the web.xml file, but this gives me a different error.
    I'm doing this on an isolated test server which has no access to the network.  If I revert to the snapshot I took before the upgrade attempt ColdFusion runs as expected.
    Any ideas what might be the problem?  Thanks in advance.

    In case it helps anyone I've realised what I was doing wrong here.
    The main “problem” was that one of the updates included in Cumulative Hotfix 4 is APSB13-03 (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-security-hotfix-apsb13-03.html).  I knew this changed the behaviour of RDS but my knowledge prior to this work of ColdFusion and in particular RDS was very limited, and so I didn't understand the implications of this hotfix.  What this update does is disable RDS by default; I wasn't really aware what the RDS status of my server was prior to the update, partly because before this update there is no "disable RDS" tick box to show whether it is enabled or disabled.  With RDS disabled, you can't browse as the update instructions require you to do.  Obviously RDS was enabled on my setup without me realising it.
    My understanding of this wasn't helped by the fact that when I tried to paste a path into the box and hit the "update" button I got a different error, which I described in my original post.  Similarly if I tried to change RDS settings, or do pretty much anything in the administrator, it failed and logged me out in the same way.  It seemed to me that the whole thing was broken by the updates and I didn't know how to fix it.
    So, following the excellent advice of Charlie Arehart in two articles: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/12/12/cfmyths_cumulative_hotfixes and http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2011/10/21/why_chfs_may_break, I went back to the start and installed the cumulative hotfixes one by one.  Although I don't think I actually needed to do this, as Hotfix 4 seems to contain all the previous hotfixes, it did help me realise that the browsing/RDS issue and the error and logout when I tried to do anything in the administrator were two different problems. After further bit of googling I found people suggesting that you should use https to access the administrator, but the shortcut I had was taking me to http (as far as I know I was using the default shortcut).  I found that by going to https the problem of being logged out when trying to do anything disappeared and I could put a UNC path in to update the .jar file for the next update.  I also was now able to enable RDS for single password and could browse like the hotfix instructions advise.  I've since disabled RDS and accepted the inability to browse as a "feature", happy that it's more secure as a result.
    So my “problems” were largely self-inflicted due to my own ignorance of the product, but it wasn’t helped by Adobe’s apparent inability to grasp that there may be similarly ignorant people attempting these updates.  It would have been nice to see some guidance from them.  Furthermore, the cumulative hotfix 4 page (http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/cumulative-hotfix-4-coldfusion-901.html) doesn’t even mention RDS, let alone that the default behaviour changes.  It’s only when you check the individual hotfix information that you can see the information that helped me to realise where I was going wrong.
    As for using https not http; great, but if I’m right that my shortcut is the default out-of-the-box shortcut, where’s the information to advise to change to using https as a result of one of the hotfixes included in hotfix 4 (originally, I think, hotfix 2)?  It’s certainly not mentioned on the page for cumulative hotfix 4. 

  • JDBC/Cold Fusion to 8.1.6 DB

    I'm using the 8.1.7 JDBC client on a Win2K Cold Fusion Server. The client connects to the database, but frequently hangs in the midst of a simple query. When I look at the task manager in Windows, the jrun process has maxed out at 99% with very little RAM being used. I'm trying to figure if this is a JDBC problem or a java runtime bug.
    anyone have suggestions?

    Update: I am running the rmjvm.run( true ) procedure to remove the jvm install. This is hanging as well. It creates the 'MONSTER' rollback segment, via the initjvmaux.rollbacksetup call, but then hangs (it appears) after that...I'll let it run a bit longer but this getting very frustrating is to say the least (of course, I have said more @()$*&@$(*#&!!!).
    If I do a fresh install on the same machine, same parameters, and everything works then Oracle needs to work on their conversion utilities...and I thought their problems were just limited to their GUI tools...oh well. Oh yeah, perhaps a class action lawsuit against big O for loss of productivity because their conversion utility didn't work as documented. Don't get me wrong, best DB on the market, unfortunely, that's where their success ends in my opinion.
