The other one is the export help mentions this -p flag. But the usage pattern doesn't mention it... nor does -p by itself seem to work. -p=password or -P=password do...

cfsetup>help export
Usage Pattern:
export <category> <jsonfile> [<aliasName>|<cfhome>],export <category1,category2> <jsonfile>
[<aliasName>|<cfhome>],export all <jsonfile> [<aliasName>|<cfhome>]
Description:Command to export settings of category(s) from an instance to a json file.


Example: export runtime runtime.json cfusion 

  -p, -P=<passphrase>   provides passphrase to encrypt sensitive information

Why, when I go to the CF 2023 website, can I not see basic information like "how many licenses to I need for [x] servers with [y] processors?

Before I enter a ticket, can anyone tell me if they know of an existing ticket for this behavior? https://trycf.com/gist/294b5dff4e1eadc707ac7551efe45845/acf2021?theme=monokai works fine in Lucee (No error, returns true as expected) but ACF blows up The closest I found were these ticket https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4098395 https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4208493 but they seem to deal with structs, not arrays.

Just strummed-up a CF2023 instance via the docker image. When I first start the container up and run my tests (TestBox), I get an error "The graphqlclient package is not installed". Which is true, but soTF what? If I go into CFAdmin, and rerun the tests... I get an error (poss another issue with CF2023... unsure yet, could be my code; but it's not the graphql error). If I restart the container... error comes back. If I go into CFAdmin... problem goes away. If I change the app name... error comes back. If I go into CFAdmin [etc] I'm not installing the graphql client. I've not raised an issue yet in case this is known. I also don't have a pared down repro yet.

OK, also seems like CF2023 on docker doesn't seem to pick-up DSNs defined in Application.cfc. I can see them in the app metadata if I dump it, but if I try to use the default DSN or explicitly one defined in Application.cfc... no dice.

My googling on this hasn't been fruitful... CF2023 uses Java 17. Does it still have to be Oracle Java, or can it be any of the Java 17s? I have the Adoptium JDK on this box already. Can I safely point CF at it?

Any CF Builder 2023 updates coming soon?

@Mark Takata (Adobe) OK got two repos for those issues I spotted. Baseline: https://github.com/adamcameron/cf2021_and_mariadb CF2021 - all tests green, no issues Test: https://github.com/adamcameron/cf2023_and_mariadb CF2023 - both the graphql issue and the DSN one. This is almost identical to the 2021 one, except where it needs to say "2023". Install / usage instructions in readme.md for both.

Hi all! Pardon the dumb question, but I am attempting to download Adobe ColdFusion (2021 release). However, when I navigate to https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/download-trial/try.html (the link provided by the migration guide) and fill out the form, ColdFusion 2023 downloads—even when I change the "Download Adobe ColdFusion (2023 release)" select to something else like the Windows GUI or ZIP. I must be missing something. Maybe that something is my brain. Can anyone help, please? Even https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#downloads1 leads to https://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusion which only lets me download the 2023 release.

Just curious - is it possible to 'extend' jvm.config? I always run into this when we update versions - we add changes to this file over time and Adobe makes changes and it's always a pain to figure what's new, what we need to keep, etc. Would be nice if I could extend it to include only my changes... something like adobe.args and customer.args which later just get concatenated into java.args...

I've added a bookmark to this channel, which links to the #adobe channel archive on cfml.linen.dev so it's easier to search for older conversations.

I am looking through the comparison between CF standard and CF Enterprise (https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-family/buying-guide.html or https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/cc/us/en/products/coldfusion/coldfusion-2023/pdf%27s/Buying_guide_2023.pdf) I would like to get a deeper understanding of what specific features that are included in Enterprise but not Standard. However even in the more in-depth PDF version of the comparison matrix, there is little detail on certain things. Is there another spot in the documentation somewhere that gives more details of exactly what each enterprise feature is? For example, Enterprise has a "High-Scalability Email Engine"... what does that mean exactly. How much more scalable is it than standard? or "Enterprise Database Drivers" which drivers are included in enterprise that are not in standard?

@priyank_adobe Can you please prompt the team to add the Java 17 Update 7 (with Adobe license) to the Third-party Installers section? https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#downloads3

Hi everyone, I have maybe a silly question, I have a mac (12.6.6) with Apache 2.4.56 (Unix) and I just installed CF2023 on it. The install works fine (so does the administrator site - which I would expect) however the Apache site will not start. I have done the 'wsconfig' utility and updates have been made to the httpd.conf file which points to the /priviate/etc/apache2/mod_jk_vhost.conf file. The problem is that the JKMountFile is causing the error. The line in question is:

JkMountFile "/Applications/ColdFusion2023/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties"

which causes the following error message:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 2 of /Applications/ColdFusion2023/config/wsconfig/1/mod_jk_vhost.conf:
Invalid command 'JkMountFile', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Does anyone else have this issue with an older version of Apache on a Mac?

As I said, the install when fine, not errors and the server is update and running. This is an issue with connecting to Apache for the Jakarta configuration.

Hey all, I wanted to just cover something that came up a while back. There was a thread here where I was overly harsh concerning the sales team. I want to very clearly apologize, it was not my intent to make them out to be the bad guys. They work incredibly hard. I know sometimes it feels like they come across as bullies because, well, we're Adobe (BIG SCARY RAWR). But the actual reality is that they are part of a really small, hard working team of amazing people (my interview with one of them made me realize how incredible Adobe really is to work for). ACF would literally not exist without their work. Sometimes there's communications issues. It happens. That's what happened in this case. My job is to be here for all of you to smooth those over, get you talking to the right folks, and keep us all coding in ColdFusion till the last sun in the last solar system in the last galaxy blinks out. So let's do that. Let's keep doing that. I'm always here to listen to whatever is happening. And I'll keep working to make things easier, smoother, easier to understand for all of you.

Anyone noticed slower application start up speeds with CF2023? We are seeing CF2023 take 15 minutes longer to run the same test suite as CF2018 (using testbox on the same infrastructure) - All seems to be the coldfusion.compiler taking the time - I mentioned this the other day @Mark Takata (Adobe) but it seems CF 2023 has gone backwards a bit - it looks like getComponentMetadata may be one of the slow bits

@Mark Takata (Adobe) one of my coworkers ran into this issue again over the weekend and we were wondering if there are any updates on it? https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4205407

@Mark Takata (Adobe) what does feedback like this mean? https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4218012 If we're doing things 'just because' we've always done things that way... not sure how things improve.

Here we go! Installing ColdFusion 2023 on a clean AlmaLinux 9.2. I’ll write a blog post out there somewhere.

Hey, who are my ColdFusion Report Builder fans in here? I mean like... you have a shrine in your house dedicated to your love for it. Hired a witch doctor to try and bring it back to life, that kind of thing? Check in on this thread please. ❤️

Given this:

// C.cfc
component {

	static {
		final static.usingLiteral = {
			subKey = "value"
		}
		final static.usingDots.subKey = "value"
	}
}

WTF is this gibberish supposed to mean?

Error Occurred While Processing Request
You cannot assign final to the variable prefixed with Struct.
You can have variable declaration of the form s.x only for Scope prefixed variable.

I mean fine... it doesn't like

final static.usingDots.subKey = "value"

but: a) WTF is with that error message text? b) why is it a problem? There is no reason why it ought not work fine, right?

I'm getting ready to upgrade my Adobe CF servers from 2018 to 2021. I just watched Charlie's presentation on CFMeetup on the many ways to run/install CF, but wanted to get more input from the community on the best way to handle this. Here are my requirements/environment: • Windows 2019 / IIS 10 (and CF connector) • CF Standard license • Lockdown tool run to secure CF • Run as Windows Server under Windows domain account • Installing on same server as CF 2018 (upgrading in place, will remove 2018 when 2021 is running) • Minimal CF modules needed (Admin, SQL Server, CFMail, CFHttp) • Prefer not to install the full installation with all modules and then have to uninstall most of the modules I'm thinking the ZIP install might be a viable starting point, but need to make sure I can get all the other pieces (IIS connector especially) working. Input from the community is greatly appreciated (please use a thread)!

Good morning, all. I'm looking to upgrade some old CF licenses and, for the life of me, can not get an answer from Adobe. I have: • two production servers with 2 vCPUs. • one development server with 2 vCPUs. • It's all running on AWS. How many !@#$% licenses do I need? This shouldn't be a difficult question to answer, but it's taken Adobe three weeks so far and I'm still waiting.

I am trying to add a Solr Collection in the cf admin, but I get an error no matter what I call the collection. As you can see in the image there are no collections defined. Can anybody help me with this error?

Hey all, quick roll call, I am looking for folks using Adobe ColdFusion with a focus on the following use sets: • Report builder specifically • Graphs and charting • Image (specifically cfimage, or if you're leveraging another library alongside cf) • Spreadsheet manipulation, reading, etc. Please reply in thread with which thing you're doing and the version of CF you're using it on. We are doing research for updates to libraries in those particular areas.

A little tip for those of you using GCP Firestore (or wanting to) and you are setting up your cloud alias. When Using GCP Firestore in native mode the communication is done via apis. In setting up the service configuration in CF you have to enter a database id. This is not obvious (at least to me) but no matter what your project is you have to use "(default)" , with the parentheses, as your database id and leave the emulator host blank. 🙂
