HI Charlie -   How many services are there for CF?  On my machine I have 4 services related to CF. I have: API Analystics Service API Datastore Service API Manager Application Server   All of them were stopped.  What else could have been holding onto those 5 files that I mentioned in a previous post?   Thanks Doug ...

HI Charlie -   My bad on the understanding of the user selection in the SSE. The last column in the Service tab is blank, and I think it's running under the System option. When I examined the details for the service using the SSE tool, it looks like it's under a group policy for System.   I did try using cfpm using the CLI doing a run as Admin. I stopped all the CF related services.  I moved the past Update 12 hotfix directory to a backup directory. I ran Update all on the cfpm. I was told of all the updates that would be performed. I hit Y to accept the upgrade. The system showed the download process, I saw some dots to show progress, and then I get an error and to examine the log files.   So I got the same msg for the 5 fatal errors - :   Moving files failed:: Failed to back up the previous hotfix files. Retry installation after ensuring that the server is not running or files are not locked by the server.   Going through the log file, I also came across these failures: Moving files failed: Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Could not move the file Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion/lib/jose4j-0.7.12.jar to the backup location Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2023-00012-330713\backup/lib/jose4j-0.7.12.jar   Moving files failed: Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Could not move the file Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion/lib/ehcache-2.10.3.jar to the backup location Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2023-00012-330713\backup/lib/ehcache-2.10.3.jar   Moving files failed: Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Could not move the file Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion/lib/commons-lang3-3.4.jar to the backup location Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2023-00012-330713\backup/lib/commons-lang3-3.4.jar   Moving files failed: Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Could not move the file Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion/runtime/lib/tomcat-websocket.jar to the backup location Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2023-00012-330713\backup/runtime/lib/tomcat-websocket.jar   Moving files failed: Status: FATAL ERROR Additional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Could not move the file Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion/runtime/lib/websocket-api.jar to the backup location Drive:\ColdFusion23\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2023-00012-330713\backup/runtime/lib/websocket-api.jar   So things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped.   Thanks   Doug   ...

Hi BKBK -   As Charlie said, I tried that a few times.  I can see that the packages were downloaded, but then the server does nothing else.  I can't tell if it's upgrading the server, I can't tell if it's restarting.  I can't tell the status of what the server is doing.  I would watch the Services and kept an eye on the CF Service to see if it stops and restarts.  After 10 minutes, I restarted the service and the server was still on Upgrade 6.  So the GUI didn't work.    Thanks anyway. ...

Hi Charlie -   I used the SSE tool that you suggested... and there was no joy in Mudville tonight.  (If  you know the reference). You're right, it was easy to use, I added myself to the service, but unfortunately nothing happened. I restarted the service several times, and I tried the Install option on the CF Admin GUI.  But it still produced the same result of not updating the Core.   I will go through your options again, and see what I can do.   Thanks Doug     ...

Hi Charlie -   Thank you for all that you do for the CF Community and all the presentations that you do.  You always provide a ton of information... and you actually do it at a decent pace, and tone that is good to hear as opposed to some speakers that are dry.  I'm listening to 306 at the moment.   Anyway, you're probably right, I am probably overthinking things.  But, since it's a prod server, I always like to make sure I understand everything first since I ran into issues.   When I initially tried to do the update to 12, I did it through the CF Admin tool.  If the little bar that says "Downloading" is supposed to be a graphical bar showing percentage... it doesn't do anything. There were no other messages.   I haven't tried the tool you recommended yet.  But I will download it and give it a try. If that's what is needed, I will do it. I will be doing it around midnight your time.  So, I will endeavor to leave a comment tomorrow about how things went.   Thanks for everything. Doug ... View more

Hi BKBK -   Yes.. I noticed that the server didn't update to the latest version. The Download process worked, but the update process didn't stop /restart the server. So I will be trying again.   ... View more

Charlie -   Another question:  I was comparing the  CF \bundles\repo directory vs CF \cfusion\hf-updates\hf-cf2023-012-330713 directory and I noticed in the hotfix directory there are a number of updates for the different packages, that's not in the repo directory. Do I need to move one dir to another?  Or does the CFPM handle all that?   Thanks Doug ... View more

HI Charlie -   When you say that ther CFPM installs a full core update.  So it's updating the core and loading the latest update found in the cf \bundles\updateinstallers? I'll watch your video and see how it works.  But that caught my attention and wanted to just ask.   Thanks Doug ... View more

I would like to see the option to add to an image the file name as part of the watermark options.   I use Behance to post photos, and I would like to show the file name so if someone is interested in a photo, they can tell me the file name and I can work on it, or have it printed for them.   LR keeps adding all these nice features, but I would like to see this one added, and it wouldn't be that hard to do.   What are your thoughts? ...

Hi Charlie -   I'm sorry for not providing more details.   Details do matter!   1) Server Product ColdFusion 2023 Version 2023,0,06,330617 Edition Enterprise Operating System Windows Server 2022 OS Version 10.0 Update Level /CF23/cfusion/lib/updates/chf20230006.jar Adobe Driver Version 5.1.4 (Build 0001) Tomcat Version 9.0.78.0   adminapi[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] administrator[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] ajax[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] axis[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] caching[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] debugger[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] document[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] eventgateways[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] exchange[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] image[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] mail[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] pdf[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] pmtagent[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468] saml[2023.0.05.330608 2023.0.0.330468]   2) Things have been working just fine since late October.  I don't put in scheduled tasks all the time, but as of October, everything was good.  As for what updates or changes have been made since October... not sure, except for almost regular updates, and maybe a couple of new packages installed.   3) When it comes to adding new tasks, I can't add any new one.  Everything I try has that value hard coded. It's always Priority u equals 4.   I've tried different options and values to test out creating new tasks, and every process fails.  There are a number of existing tasks, and I've checked all.  They all have a valid priority value.   4) We went from CF 10 to CF23 (Yes, a big jump).  We didn't import the scheduled tasks from the old server.  I created them from scratch,  just to play with the different parts of the new server admin software.  And at that time, I had no issues.   5) As to how many are experiencing this problem... That would be like Schrodinger's Cat. You don't know you have a problem until you have to look at it.   Thanks for starting the conversation Charlie!   Doug   ... View more

Ok... I did some additional testing... I changed the fieldname from journal_date to journal_date1, and that was included in the form.fieldnames.   Does anyone know if journal_date is reserved?   Thanks Doug ... View more

Hi Charlie -   Is there a way to upgrade the API Mgr from the trial to the full version within the the web site? or do I need to reinstall it and provide the key during the installation process? Thanks Doug ... View more

I'm having issues with the Neural Filter also.  It's not detecting everybody in the shot. If I crop in a bit tighter, it works, but when done like the example shot, it doesn't find everyone. And I had another pic where the lady on the left was not found.   Any ideas?  Or are there still some bugs and kinks to work out? ... View more

Hi Aaron -   Ok, it sounds like you and I have the same issues across the board.   Here's what I learned and my workarounds: 1) Even though we're supposed to be able to add text to a new layer automatically from all the videos and tutorials what I've seen, it's not the case. The workaround for this is to go to the Effects Panel and drag and drop a title graphic/text area onto the sequence. From that you can modify the text however you need.  There are some basic title sequences which makes it easy to modify for your needs.   2) I have the same issue when it comes to importing graphics or creating color mattes. Anything other than movie files, the import process just sucks. What you need to do when you import your assets, is just bring them into PP, which will probably show up as a black images, and then save your file, close your project, go out to the main menu, and reopen the project.  When you do that, everything will get displayed correctly.   3) There may be a setting for image time lengths, I don't know off hand, but one thing I noticed when dropping images onto a sequence, their time duration is 12 hours. Right click onto the image, and look for Speed / Duration. Change the duration down to 5 seconds or the time you need.  This will only change the duration down to 7 minutes. Why? I don't know. Do the change again, and the next time will take you down to 5 seconds or the duration you are looking for.   I've dealt with that issue for years... why it's still happening, and it takes two changes to get it right, I don't have a clue.   Anyway, I hope this helps!   Take care and good luck. ...

I've been dealing with the same issue for a while..

@jstrawn  -   Thank you for reaching out.   This is a very unique situation and I wish I could provide more infomation. So let me add in more details. I will admit it's got to be something on my system, what it is, I don't know. I just went through uninstalling PP 14.6 and rolled back to 14.0. I tested it with that version.   Same issue. I rolled back to 13.15.1 (I think that was the other versiom number) and same thing happened. The text layer would not cooperate. I opened up the test project, I went the text layer, and I was able to enter in text without any issues. I moved the playhead to a blank area, and clicked on T to initiate the Type tool, click on the playback area, to start typing, and if I try to type "Hello World", The H is pressed and triggers the Hand tool. One thing I did notice with the earlier versions (14.0 and before), after exiting the project, they would stay in the Task manager and not close.   I moved the PP window to both monitors to test location and to look for any other windows taking the focus. No other window is there. 1) The text layer was provided for me from another community member who may be in another part of the world. I am located in California, USA.   2) When I am editing the project, No matter what I do, or what layer is active, when I click on T, and then try to type anything, nothing happens.   If you want to know the different drivers I have running or you want to know more, please let me know, and I will help you. If you want to have a Zoom call, and I could show you what happens, I would be happy to do that..     I have figured a work around, I have to use one of the Essential Graphics title bars to give me a text layer of some sort, and then make adjustments to it.   Thanks Doug               ...

Hi @DaciaSaenz -   Thanks for offering more ideas.   1) I don't know if it only happens in 14.6.  I don't use PP all the time, but I do update it when I am told to by CC. 2) I will reinstall PP and see if I can use an earlier version and see if I can figure out where the change took place. 3) I've done multiple restarts, and did it as thr first task of the day on my computer, and still had the same issue. 4) I've checked and I don't see any other panels popping up - whether on a different monitor, or behind the program. (Nothing wrong with stretching, I always appreciate any attempt).   I will change versions and let you know what happens.   Thanks   Doug ... View more
