Hi,I'm trying to upgrade our ColdFusion from 9 to 2016, and we have some running applications in the production server. I started with discovering and identifying the deprecation features as listed here, so I would like to ask if there is available tools or configurations that can help in finding the risky features (tags, attributes, and attributes values) that need to be change in my current applications, or any automated way to do that?I found some discussions about migration to CF11 but nothing for migrate to 2016 yet.Any suggestion would really appreciated!Thanks,

I am trying to talk to someone to get extended support for our version 10 Coldfusion instance.Do not want to miss the opportunity to qualify for the extended support while we upgrade to the latest version of ColdFusion over the next few months so can someone please find me someone I can deal with.As advised by the online help from the ADOBE site, I have tried the  0800 0280148 number that just has been selecting options that do not put me in touch with a human.I have emailed the Coldfusion team @ cfsup@adobe.com - no response.Please some one help !

I have a flex application that is calling multiple ColdFusion services, this has been working for a long time but now all of a sudden it stopped working and I have no idea what is causing it. Basically, I am sending 15 function calls to different services through the flex gateway. The first one executes and all the other ones send this error message "java.sql.SQLException: This connection either has timed out or has been closed and has returned to its pool. You must re-acquire the connection. "  See attached Charles screenshotThe coldfusion application is a very simple ORM application running some simple single parameter hibernate queries like belowremote Wayeo_Service.cfc.city_clerks[] function searchByID39(string q ) {  var hqlString = "";  var whereClause = "";  var params = {};  hqlString = hqlString & "FROM city_clerks";  if (len(arguments.q) gt 0){  whereClause  = ListAppend(whereClause, " ID39_City LIKE '%#arguments.q#%'");  }&nbs

Hi, I've been trying to use powerpoint as a source for the cfpresentationslide tag, but it would always give me this error: Could not initialize class com.sun.star.lib.loader.WinRegKey. How do I fix this? I am using CF 9 and I'm pretty sure that it supports powerpoint.  Thanks!

(CF8.01 server with Windows 2008 Server R2 - Java installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6)I have no problems connecting with CFHTTP from a local dev box to one of our domains on a server with SSL. I also have a domain that uses a PayPal API over SSL which appears to be working still. However I've recently tried to integrate with another 3rd party and I can't get it to connectI receive a peer not authenticating error, as detailed in the link belowDiagnosing a CFHTTP issue - peer not authenticated · Raymond Camden I tried the fix at the top of Raymonds page but it would not work, it just throw errors. I've been through the thread which at one point led me to an instructional page here Naveen Chhabra's Blog | Just another WordPress.com site  which suggested that you take the certificate from the third party server and install it on the CF server. However I struggled with that because it was asking for a keystore password, which I don't know and can't seem to figure out how to set.The

I'm using <cfpdfform> command to simply read fields from my Livecycle 9 pdf.  The problem is that not all of the fields appear in the CFDUMP.  I'm simply using:<cfpdfform source="test.pdf" action="read" result="fields"/><cfdump var="#fields#">I have one subform where I have 15 text fields in the PDF. When I do the CFDUMP, it only shows 2 of the 15 fields.  Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi there,I try to create a DSN using ODBC Socket on Coldfusion Standard 2016 (OS Windows Server 2016) and i receive this error :java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][SequeLink Server]The specified data source is not defined.The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][SequeLink Server]The specified data source is not defined.When i try the same on Coldfusion Standard 2016 (OS Windows Server 2012) everything works fine.It seems that Windows 2016 no longer support SequelLink Connectors.Any idea to bypass This or do i need to downgrade to Windows 2012 ?Thanks and sorry for my English.

Running ColdFusion 9,0,1,274733 on JRun (J2EE install), Windows Server 2008 R2, Java 1.6.0_22Has anyone else had a problem getting the default document, index.cfm, to work with ColdFusion? I'm assuming that this is only an issue because of our setup; different web server (IIS) and application server (ColdFusion). I can't imagine we are the only ones running this configuration. Are we?So here is the issue.If we request http://mysite.com/test/index.cfm it works.If we request http://mysite.com/test/ it does not work and we get a 404.I checked the web connector's log file on our IIS server and can see that it is sending the request to our ColdFusion server. The ColdFusion server is sending back the 404 error code but I can't figure out why. We have the default document set on our IIS server for index.cfm. We also have the <welcome-file-list> set to include index.cfm on our application server (web.xml).From our web connector's log when we do NOT include index.cfm:2012-11-01 13:37:22 j

Hello everyone,We have upgraded our development server from CF10 to ColdFusion 2016 today. While I was testing our system I notice that every report couldn't be accessed. I have checked the folder on the server and files are in there. I tried to use this code to test and access the files:<cffile action="read" file="\\testsite\testsite_d\test.xlsx" variable = "fileContent">After I run code above error message showed on the screen:Message\\testsite\testsite_d\test.xlsx (Access is denied)      DetailThe cause of this exception was: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\testsite\testsite_d\test.xlsx (Access is denied).      I'm not sure why files can't be accessed. Everything worked fine before we did the upgrade. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.Thank you.

Hello, all,I understand that ColdFusion spreadsheet functions are based upon Ben Nadel's POIutility.cfc.  I was just asked a question that I don't know how to answer and thought I'd bring it here for scrutiny."Do CF spreadsheet functions rely, at all, on .Net?"I know that CF is a wrapper for Java (Tomcat).  But that's the deepest my knowledge goes.  Does .Net come into play for spreadsheet functions in CF?V/r,^ _ ^

I am working on bringing an organization up-to-date on their Coldfusion deployment.  They are currently running Coldfusion 9 on a VM with lots of troubles with the underlying OS or VM.  The first step is to migrate to a new machine, then we'll focus on updating ColdFusion.  We'll need a few days of running the old and new VMs side-by-side to be sure everything is stable while we move customer sites over.  So I'm licensed for one server, but will need to use two servers for a few days.  Can I do this without purchasing additional licensing?

Hi all,We're developing a webapp where managers are able to assign learning to their team members - ideally, this learning needs to be completed within a set timeframe and so we've been playing with assigning a task in outlook 365 with the required date/time etc.  Whilst we can do this for the actual user, there doesn't seem to be an option to assign the task to someone else using cfexchangetask.Has anyone been able to achieve this and if so how?  Thanks
