OT Modifying Source File in DTS package
I have a DTS package which I use to import IIS log files into SQL Server 2000. How can I change the source file programaticallly and then run the package. I really am a newbie at DTS but I guess you can tell that. I know that I could always do the import with cf but it seems kind of silly to involve cf for a purely database function.

RE: CFLOCK on files
But I will add one thing to your statement, if your using it for large file uploads to the server it could take awhile before the user is even aware of a problem, the webmaster can receive notification no matter what but for someone with a slow link and sending a 1 meg file could take 5 mins before they know something has gone wrong. But at least they would be aware of it, I guess this is why I like CF5.0 because you can flush the output and say uploading until the script finishes, just something someone might wish to keep in mind. -Original Message- From: Andrew Tyrone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 8 January 2002 1:45 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFLOCK on files Remember, though, that you can catch cffile errors with cftry/cfcatch , and inform the user that the operation failed and that they should wait a nd try again.

RE: CFLOCK on files
No, cflock isn't limited to locking variables. Yes, cflock is used for mem ory variables (server, session, application) but remember cflock doesn't l ock anything, it merely coordinates access between similar locks (same sco pe or same name). If you use cflock with the name attribute, all you're doing is coordinating all the cflocks with that same name attribute. And inside the cflock can be anything - I use it around a cffile so our app doesn't try to write to a particular file when someone else is writing to it at the same time.

RE: OT Modifying Source File in DTS package
If the mods are simple (verifying a numeric value or a particular format - or a date), then use the DTS transformation services and vb to massage the data during the import. The way I do it is to create the package and save it, then go to design view. The transformation connections all say copy at this point. Delete the connections that you want to fiddle with, the select new active X transformation. The interface makes it pretty easy - with common functions listed to the left of the scripting window.

RE: CFLOCK on files
Yes, that's my understanding, too. If you think about it terms of locking really being coordinating then it's more clear that locks must be named the same for CF to coordinate the actions inside those locks. This makes named locks faster, I should think, and much much more dangerous - because any little slip and you've got uncoordinated access to memory va riables. I suspect that's why MM/Allaire recommends using scoped locks for memory va riables - even though locking the entire scope is a greater performance hit , it's easier to check and harder to make a simple but deadly mistake.

Re: CFLOCK on files
Even if you can't explicitly lock a file during a CFFILE operation... If CF uses system-level function calls to read and write files (that must be why it's capable of being locked out of a file when another application has it locked), then you would think that during a CF file write operation, the OS must place a lock on the file.

RE: CFLOCK on files
Bare in mind that there are multiple reasons to lock, not just server stability. There are also logical reasons to lock. Consider this scenario: A file contains a number. You read the file, add one to the number, and save. Now, without a lock, its possible that two threads might read the file, and append the incorrect number. In this case, the lock is used for logical reason. === Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 11:53 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFLOCK on files Even if you can't explicitly lock a file during a CFFILE operation...

RegExp help needed
Hello all,
I have a text file that's a save of a bunch of messages from Outlook. The
messages are error reports from CF sent with CFMail. The formatting sucks -
I never expected to get a bunch - I was using it for debugging.. anyway, I
have several hundred I need to parse. Silly transaction logs
The layout is below. What I need to do is get the datetime string and the
message ID from each instance of an error message in that file so I can
update our database.
start 'record' -
x:\inetpub\domain\subdir\errorfile.cfmp
DateTime: {ts '2002-01-06 00:44:09'}p
URL Message_ID: 23660 p
Message: ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or
access
violation)Pp
Detail: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]The log file for
database 'dsdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to
free up some log space.PP
end 'record' -
The file has this format several hundred times over.
Reading it in with cffile is simple. What I can't figure out is how to
write the pattern matching code to extract the two variables. Also, the
logic to make sure I have matching pairs is pretty easy - it's just the
RegExps that are killing me.
This is probably simple; I could write this in Perl but can't seem to do it
in CF.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

RE: cfcatch and can't catch
Well, well ... thanks Dave. But guess what? The code described below works, and works well (with the possible exception of the original oddity, of errors seeming to be both caught and not-caught at the same time). I see from a re-reading of cfrethrow that it's supposed to do just as you said. I must have missed that before, or I was reading a different description. In my code it works quite well to cfrethrow from inside a cfcatch block and have it caught by the next cfcatch block - thus, I have two cfcatch type=any blocks. Now that I see it's not supposed to work that way I'll see about changing, on the theory that it may not continue to be robust. Another day, another peculiar ColdFusion response! thanks, Chris Norloff -- Original Message -- From: Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 18:07:54 -0500 Thanks for the response. Interesting observation - I AM using a rethrow in a cfcatch, though I don't think that's what's causing the problem. I use a rethrow because timeout errors come in two types here: type=unknown and type=com.allaire.coldfusion.request.timeout. I have 4 cfcatch's: type=expression, type=database, type=any, type=any. Inside the first type=any I check if type=...timeout or if the first 17 characters of cfcatch.message are Request timed out. If so, I rethrow, and the second type=any is actually the cfcatch for timeouts. Since the caught type is database, I don't think this error-handling is getting to the type=any cfcatch statements. We're not using cferror type=monitor, only type=exception. Though perhaps I should be using type=request to catch more things if they slip past the cfcatch's. OK. If you're doing something like this, though, I can see a potential problem: cftry cfquery ... /cfquery cfcatch type=database ... /cfcatch cfcatch type=any cfif something cfrethrow /cfif /cfcatch cfcatch type=any ... /cfcatch /cftry The second CFCATCH won't throw an exception to the third CFCATCH, but instead it'll throw it to a higher-level CFCATCH (if one exists, you'd have this entire CFTRY block wrapped within a CFCATCH in a larger CFTRY!) or to a calling page, if this is a custom tag. However, that doesn't seem to address your specific problem, which is with the first CFCATCH.

The file has this format several hundred times over.
Reading it in with cffile is simple. What I can't figure out is how to
write the pattern matching code to extract the two variables. Also, the
logic to make sure I have matching pairs is pretty easy - it's just the
RegExps that are killing me.
This is probably simple; I could write this in Perl but can't seem to do

in CF.

Re: problem with dynamic data in my select boxes
When you start iterating through your inner query, it loses its place in the first query - meaning, referencing a column from the outtermost query and expecting it to know what row it is on.

RE: Clustering and CF variables.
I would like to add that Ken's *not necessarily* right - if the server is a dedicated CF server then DO USE THE REGISTRY for client variables. The registry provides the greatest performance when using client variables, which is why it is used by default and why it is even an option. Do you think MM made it an option just because it was possible or because it can be highly useful? There are three options for three or more server environments. Just plan ahead for it. When you build the server, adjust the registry to grow to around 100MB and it won't slow down and cause the server to crap out. Monitor the size of the registry as well, drop the persistance of client variable data from 90 if the registry grows to large or allow the registry to grow larger. Just my two cents. I've said it before I'll say it again the next time some SCREAMS that the registry won't work. One users bad experience shouldn't deter all others from the truth. t ** Tyler M.

Ken's right - do NOT use the registry for storing client variables. By default this is exactly what CF does. One of the first things you should do upon installing CF is create an empty database, say called ClientVariables, and make this the DEFAULT storage source (under the CF Administrator which is smart enough to create the necessary tables in a blank database). You will save your system/s from potential problems of the Registry filling up by doing this. You can still setup seperate Client storage databases for each application however. If you don't specify which datasource to use (in your application.cfm file) then the default will be used instead. Client variables are very useful for storing persistent information for a long period of time. I think the CF default is about 90 days. I wrote a neat application for calculating the nutrient content of foods to originally remember what a customer had entered (see http://www.anzfa.gov.au/npc/anzfa_npc) but the powers that be did not want any data to be retained by the server so I had to go back to Session instead. Also remember that when using client/session variables you must track the CLIENT (the web browser itself) through the application by appending the CFID/CFTOKEN to your URL's etc. Ben Forta's masterful Web Application Construction Kit (see www.forta.com) discusses these techniques very well.

I've said it before I'll say it again the next time some SCREAMS that the registry won't work. One users bad experience shouldn't deter all others from the truth. I guess that the problem with the truth is that it can be perceived so subjectively. I've had quite a few bad experiences with using the registry for Client variable storage, though - and they haven't all been mine, personally, but several have been with clients for whom it failed in a relatively dramatic fashion. The reason MM (or, more accurately, Allaire) made it an option is that, at the time, they didn't necessarily know how bad this could be, or more likely, at the time, you weren't likely to get enough traffic for it to be so bad. Client variables were introduced in CF 2.0, and they could only be stored in the registry then. The ability to store them in other places wasn't introduced until CF 4, I think. Back in those days, heavy use didn't mean the same as it does now, and very few people were building line-of-business apps on the web. As for best performance, yes, the registry may be faster than using a database. Using cookies will be just as fast, though. Performance, however, is probably not the only metric most people care about. Reliability is pretty important to most people, and registry storage is far less reliable than database storage. The Windows registry is not your typical database. It's a hierarchical data store, like an LDAP server, rather than a relational data store. It's not designed for transactional processing, like a relational database typically is. The registry is designed to be read often, and written to infrequently. The typical usage pattern for a Windows app using the registry is to read the appropriate keys on startup, then write changes to those keys if necessary on shutdown. That's quite a bit different from constantly writing to the registry. There are several weak points with using the registry. It can become fragmented, just like other files in general. This will slow performance after time. It can become corrupted - and I've encountered this personally - requiring a restore and consequently losing all of the client data. It makes it difficult to migrate an application from one server to another. In summary, I strongly recommend against using the Registry as a Client variable data store. I recommend against using a file-based database like Access for this also - that has its own, very serious, problems.

When you build the server, adjust the registry to grow to around 100MB and it won't slow down and cause the server to crap out. Monitor the size of the registry as well, drop the persistance of client variable data from 90 if the registry grows to large or allow the registry to grow larger. Just my two cents. I've said it before I'll say it again the next time some SCREAMS that the registry won't work. One users bad experience shouldn't deter all others from the truth. I guess that the problem with the truth is that it can be perceiv ed so subjectively. I've had quite a few bad experiences with using the r egistry for Client variable storage, though - and they haven't all been min e, personally, but several have been with clients for whom it failed i n a relatively dramatic fashion. The reason MM (or, more accurately, Allaire) made it an option is t hat, at the time, they didn't necessarily know how bad this could be, or mo re likely, at the time, you weren't likely to get enough traffic for i t to be so bad. Client variables were introduced in CF 2.0, and they could only be stored in the registry then. The ability to store them in other pla ces wasn't introduced until CF 4, I think. Back in those days, heavy use didn't mean the same as it does now, and very few people were building line-of-business apps on the web. As for best performance, yes, the registry may be faster than using a database. Using cookies will be just as fast, though. Performance, however, is probably not the only metric most people care about. Reliability is pretty important to most people, and registry storage is far less r eliable than database storage. The Windows registry is not your typical database. It's a hierarchical data store, like an LDAP server, rather than a relational data store. It 's not designed for transactional processing, like a relational database typically is. The registry is designed to be read often, and written to infrequently. The typical usage pattern for a Windows app using the registry is t o read the appropriate keys on startup, then write changes to those keys i f necessary on shutdown. That's quite a bit different from constantly writing to the registry. There are several weak points with using the registry. It can becom e fragmented, just like other files in general. This will slow perfor mance after time. It can become corrupted - and I've encountered this personally - requiring a restore and consequently losing all of the client data. It makes it difficult to migrate an application from one server to another. In summary, I strongly recommend against using the Registry as a Cl ient variable data store. I recommend against using a file-based databas e like Access for this also - that has its own, very serious, problems.

Content protection?
Hello All, We have a need to display some text on our intranet that a user would not be able to print/copy. Would there be any scripts out there anyone can point me to? I guess it will be a script that pops up the html file into a window without any of the menu options with the right click disabled. I want to also stop the user from highlighting the text and copying it using Ctrl+v. Another method I have thought of is displaying the text as an image in a pop up screen with the menu and right click disabled. Has any one come across such a tag that converts text to image on the fly? I understand that there will always be workarounds and it will never be foolproof.

A really simple solution, if you're using IE as your browser, is to use the showModalWindow() javascript method.

Well looking at the whole history of things, Dave brings up some good points. Getting in the game at when CF 4.0 was the current version I missed out on some of those 2.0 experiences.

Hello all,
I have a text file that's a save of a bunch of messages from Outlook.
The
messages are error reports from CF sent with CFMail. The formatting
sucks -
I never expected to get a bunch - I was using it for debugging.. anyway,
I
have several hundred I need to parse. Silly transaction logs
The layout is below. What I need to do is get the datetime string and
the
message ID from each instance of an error message in that file so I can
update our database.
start 'record' -
x:\inetpub\domain\subdir\errorfile.cfmp
DateTime: {ts '2002-01-06 00:44:09'}p
URL Message_ID: 23660 p
Message: ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access
violation)Pp
Detail: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The log file for
database 'dsdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to
free up some log space.PP
end 'record' -
The file has this format several hundred times over.
Reading it in with cffile is simple. What I can't figure out is how to
write the pattern matching code to extract the two variables. Also, the
logic to make sure I have matching pairs is pretty easy - it's just the
RegExps that are killing me.
This is probably simple; I could write this in Perl but can't seem to do
it
in CF.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Standard database procedures in all cases unless you are 100% certain that the record cannot exists is to read before write..check the database to see if the record exists before inserting it.

RE: How to modify a dll
Not sure what you mean here, are you the one creating the dll. If so when you register a dll the system then knows it can use it, if you make changes to this dll, you will need to unregister it with the server. However if this is not the case then you'll need to find a decompiler to turn it into the source that you need (Yes, very legal issues with doing this). Now the other thing is that although you unregistered the dll it might take sometime for it to clear out of the system resources. So I reset of the computer might be needed, what I usually do in this case is register, unregister and give it a number of the classname. But you'll need to remember to put the classname back to what you want it to be. Haven't done this under windows 2000, it might clear it straight away when unregistered anyone else care to comment! -Original Message- From: Jeff Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 9 January 2002 12:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: How to modify a dll I have an issue with Studio and from searching the forums I need to change the MSVCRT.dll file to an older version by changing the modification date of it to the most current date.

Re: OT Modifying Source File in DTS package
You want to change the source file of the DTS or of a CFM? The DTS source is typically stored on the DB inside the MSDB database, and is not easy to get to, in fact, I have never actually found all of it. If I remember correctly it is stored in a binary column, which would be very difficult to edit. Can you give me some more info?

Re: OT Modifying Source File in DTS package
You are probably correct. Unfortunately to the best of my knowledge there is no way to change the input filename. I have run into this before. One of the things you can as part of the DTS is run a batch file, use the Execute Process task. I would create a batch file that would make a copy of the file with name you have selected for your input tasks. At the end of the DTS delete the copy. I have done this before with both text files and Excel spread sheets. It works pretty well as long as you have the disk space to hold the copy.

RE: how to prevent user from opening multiple browsers..
Because it becomes reliant on the cookie, if you open a new browser from within the browser it keeps the same properties.
