On the ColdFusion Server 5 CD at \CFServer50\ColdFusionServer50\StudioTagUpdate\

Installed with ColdFusion Server 5 when documentation is selected and available in the ColdFusion Administrator homepage

When using the Oracle 8 native driver and REFERENCE CURSOR in a Stored Procedure, if you include a maxrows parameter in the cfprocpram that calls the stored procedure, ColdFusion Server no longer maximizes CPU processing causing the system to become unresponsive. (19312)

On Solaris, ColdFusion Server no longer experiences authentication problems with Advanced Security and LDAP servers. (16176)

ColdFusion Server no longer returns inaccurate results if Advanced Security can connect to the necessary user directories, including LDAP servers and user databases. An error will be generated instead. (15810)

If a function returns a structure, and if that structure has keys defined using dot notation, a valid structure is returned but not the data. Changing to [" "] notation fixes the problem. (22813) The following snippet works:

<cfscript>
	function test() {
		var x = 1;
		var z = structnew();
		z.foo = "ray";
		return z;
	}
	y = test();
	WriteOutput("structkeylist: " & structkeylist(y));
</cfscript>

Hyperlinks in multiple page reports now work correctly. (21265)

cffile now supports uploading large files. (8601)

cfmail will no longer leak file handles when connecting to a mail server which does not respond. (24728)

In Solaris, the ColdFusion Server installation no longer causes superuser permissions errors. (17847)

With cfldap, ColdFusion Server automatically maps illegal variable characters in resulting query columns to underscore characters. Therefore, column names of the query result set returned by cfldap might not match the names of the LDAP attributes. (24348)

Depending on your environment and applications, ColdFusion Server 5 performs significantly better than previous releases in Window NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. (21399)

ColdFusion Server now allows for the creation of a daily scheduled task specifying a start and end date. (23725)

ColdFusion Server now refreshes username and password policy stores automatically. (18959/17358)

When using the duplicate function, an update to the copied structure or variable is no longer applied to the original structure or variable. (20833)

Optimization no longer fails for non-English language collections. (16735)

The WDDX JS serializer no longer suffers from a performance problem with large WDDX packets. (22210)

When using ColdFusion Server in distributed mode, the file attribute in cfcontent must refer to a directory on the system running the Web server, not the server running ColdFusion Server.

ColdFusion Server 5 contains a new tag, cfobjectcache. It clears, or flushes, the entire query cache. It uses the following syntax:

<cfobjectcache action="clear">

The action attribute must be set to clear. No other values are supported.

Two examples in the CFML Reference Guide include the following cfgraph code:

<cfgraph type="Line" 
	title="Quarterly Income"
	fill="yes">
	<cfgraphdata label="Q1" value=Q1income>
	<cfgraphdata label="Q2" value=Q2income>
	<cfgraphdata label="Q3" value=Q3income>
	<cfgraphdata label="Q3" value=Q3income>
</cfgraph>

<cfgraph type = "bar" title = "Income by Department">
  <cfgraphdata label = "New Vehicle Sales" value = NewIncome>
  <cfgraphdata label = "Used Vehicle Sales" value = UsedIncome>
  <cfgraphdata label = "Leasing" value = LeasingIncome>
  <cfgraphdata label = "Service" value = ServiceIncome>
</cfgraph>

<cfgraph type="Line" 
	title="Quarterly Income"
	fill="yes">
	<cfgraphdata label="Q1" value=#Q1income#>
	<cfgraphdata label="Q2" value=#Q2income#>
	<cfgraphdata label="Q3" value=#Q3income#>
	<cfgraphdata label="Q3" value=#Q3income#>
</cfgraph>

<cfgraph type = "bar" title = "Income by Department">
  <cfgraphdata label = "New Vehicle Sales" value = #NewIncome#>
  <cfgraphdata label = "Used Vehicle Sales" value = #UsedIncome#>
  <cfgraphdata label = "Leasing" value = #LeasingIncome#>
  <cfgraphdata label = "Service" value = #ServiceIncome#>
</cfgraph>

On Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX, a ColdFusion Administrator password must be provided during the installation. Otherwise, the ColdFusion Administrator will not be accessible.

If a file is removed from the file system while an archive operation is running, the following exception error may occur:
Error: 000 - Unknown exception. ERROR: Unable to successfully create archive. IOException occurred ERROR: Unable to successfully create archive. IOException occurred java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\temp\jar_cache28381.tmp (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)

The ColdFusion Administrator Server tab contains a Connection Summary page, which is not described in the ColdFusion Server documentation. The Connection Summary page lets you verify and release all OBDC and native data source connections for ColdFusion Server. For more information, click the Help link on the Connection Summary page.

-export -alias {ALIAS} -file {.cer file} -keystore {path to your keystore} -storepass {keystores password}

Then, using the .cer file, import the public key in Certificate Format. For more information about Sun's keytool, go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html.

Beginning with ColdFusion Server 5, Linux Professional provides only the Merant Desktop Drivers. The full set of available drivers are now only provided with the Linux Enterprise edition.

ColdFusion Server on Red Hat Linux requires the following Sybase Open Client 11.9.2-3 components or later to use the Sybase native database driver:

sybase-common-11.9.2-3.i386.rpm

sybase-openclient-11.1.1-3.i386.rpm

The Merant ODBC Informix Dynamic Server driver, which does not require Informix client libraries, contains a bug that limits retrieval of data to data types other than LVARCHAR. If a SQL statement references a column that is an LVARCHAR data type, the driver returns the following error message:

ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error) [MERANT][ODBC Informix Dynamic Server driver]
This is either an Unknown Type or is not supported currently.

Merant is currently working on the problem (Merant case #1189822). Macromedia will provide a fix as soon as Merant makes one available.

If an error is encountered while processing a page request, ColdFusion Server now returns a 500 status code by default. This allows automated monitoring services using HTTP probes to detect ColdFusion-generated errors. To change this default behavior, add the registry entry key named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Allaire/ColdFusion/CurrentVersion/HTTP, and give it a string value of EnableHTTPStatus. Set its value to 0.

Before using the Verity command-line tools, such as the "mkvdk" and "VSpider" utilities, the appropriate Verity library paths must be added to the PATH (Windows), LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Solaris and Linux) or SHLIB_PATH (HPUX) environment variable.

On Windows, add "C:\CFusion\Verity\_nti40\bin" to the "System" PATH environment variable (substitute the installation directory for "C:\CFusion")

On Solaris, a symbolic link must first be created in the /opt/coldfusion/verity directory by entering
"ln -s _ssol26 _solaris", then add "/opt/coldfusion/verity/_solaris/bin" to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

On Linux, add "/opt/coldfusion/verity/_ilnx21/bin" to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

On HP-UX, add "/opt/coldfusion/verity/_hpux11/bin" to the SHLIB_PATH

Only a single probe should be configured to restart the ColdFusion Server; if multiple probes are configured for restart, the ColdFusion Server may terminate abnormally and not restart. The probe selected to restart the ColdFusion Server must be directed at a local URL, or the probe will not correctly detect a server failure. In general, probing remote URLs is not recommended.

To use a licensed full version of Macromedia Generator for ColdFusion Server's cfgraph functionality, follow these steps:

1. Install Macromedia Generator.

2. To determine which port Generator uses to listen for incoming requests, open the local.properties file in the <generator-install-dir>/jrun/servers/default directory. Look for the line that contains jcp.endpoint.main.port. This value is the port number.

3. Add a ColdFusion registry string named: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Allaire/ColdFusion/CurrentVersion/Graphing/JRunPort, and set the value to the port number from Step 2.

4. Copy the AllaireGraphingServlet.class and QueryStringHolder.class files from <CFHOME>/JRun/servlets to <generator-install-dir>/jse/servlets.

5. Restart the JRun Default Server.

To configure ColdFusion Server to operate in distributed mode:

When the configuration includes a Windows server frontend, the NT drive letters in the remote.ini file must be capitalized to work.

For more information on configuring ColdFusion Server to run in distributed mode, see the corresponding PDF file in the \CFServer50\ColdFusionServer5\Documentation\PDF directory on the installation CD-ROM.
