04/26/2023, 6:15 PMNew topic. CFR files? We just upgraded to CF 2021. One site has CFR files and isn’t working. Adobe says:
At run time, you display the CFR file by using a ColdFusion server that has ColdFusion Reporting enabled
How does one enable ColdFusion Reporting on CF2021?

04/26/2023, 6:35 PMReporting has been deprecated and unsupported since 2016. Most additional servers/services have been moved into the Add-on Services Installer located at https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html but I don't believe reporting is included in those.

04/26/2023, 6:37 PMWe use CFRs with CF2021 and I believe at install time there was a box to check to have it included. There is a report package available in the Package Manager in the CF Admin, but I am not sure if that package is actually related to using CFRs.

04/26/2023, 6:39 PMIf I rerun the installer, will it overwrite the current install entirely, or can I just rerun it to get that feature?

04/26/2023, 6:40 PMNever tried, so no idea. I double-checked our written manual steps and during the installer there is a section called something like "Enabling or Disabling Servlets" where you can check "CF Reporting".

04/26/2023, 6:51 PMIf you use cfpm (C:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\bin) maybe you could just do a cfpm install report?

04/26/2023, 6:52 PMI would work on getting those ported over to a different solution. CF2023's PDF engine can do a lot of what the reporting tool could do. But, of course, not GUI.

04/26/2023, 7:08 PMMost of the reports, dashboards and other data dumps We have are written in coldfusion with some javascript libs such as datatables, graphjs, jquery and css. You can always dump your outout to any other format you like.

04/26/2023, 7:12 PMCFR is supported in current version and in CF2023. You can first check the package and if it is not there, install it and then run it. You may encounter a bug and we have a fix for it so you can reach out to support.

04/26/2023, 8:28 PM@priyank_adobe I haven’t messed with packages before. Its there (report?). It says it installed. What do you mean by ‘run it’?

04/26/2023, 8:33 PMDo you see any error in the browser when you run the CFM page which calls CFR?

05/03/2023, 2:12 PMAs always, I will pipe in to mention that my organization has a large number of CFRs, so I appreciate @priyank_adobe's statement that it is still supported in CF2021 and CF2023. (Rich slowly backs away from the cliff, relieved)
