So, if I'm reading this right, what you're looking for is a way to compare variable use across templates, particularly where they might be conflicting in/with background processing, right? Assuming so, here's where I'd start....
Since the background processes are most likely to be having issues with shared scopes, I'd start by adding a separate template that just dumps the application and server scopes, then doing a find across the application for all instances of each of the variables in those scopes. If that didn't lead me to the problems, I'd look for unscoped variables. This is going to be a PITA, but the basic idea (at least what I've thought of) is to first look for all hashed values in the code, then look in all the <cf...> tags. Yeah, annoying. Personally, I'd create a copy of the code and do some serious reductions on it using regex, but I'm a regex junkie. :-) Any way you slice it, this is going to be a royal pain. HTH. If there's more I can help with, feel free to let me know. --Ben Nick Baker wrote: > Ben, > > The reason is to get a good pic of the variable usage strategy.
