(ot) MS SSIS (BIDS) 2008 options
Hi all, Sorry for the OT, but my Google foo has failed me! When trying to save a SSIS package to a server one of the options is Protection Level and it defaults to Encrypt data with User Key. The policy in our shop is to use Rely on server storage and roles for access control. It is a major annoyance to always have to change it and when people forget we have to delete the package and start over again. Does anyone know if there is an xml file or something we can edit to change the default?

I have a CF Application that can search through the code base and find

to tell it what tag and give it regex to do the search.
I'm breaking this down into two steps first I'm going to search for
the color codes in between cfoutputs that have a single #. From what
I've been reading so far I think this regex should work:
[^#]#[a-fA-F0-9]{3,6}
If I'm correct it would pick up #FF3366 but not ##FF3366.
What do you think about that regex?
I'll deal with the missing # signs later after I get the color codes fixed.

RE: application.cfm
I believe you are correct that the answer is no and that process seems perfectly logical and correct. Here is how I see the process running... By the way this is not actual knowledge of the process, but how I've always assumed that the process occurred. 1) Request is received by web server and is passed to cf. 2) CF sees which page it needs and checks to see if there is a compiled version of the template in memory or a class file on disk. 3) If there is, happily run the compiled byte code in the appropriate order. cfabort! 4) If not, compile the template. If that template references any other templates check each of those for compiled versions, if not then compile those as well. 5) Process the now compiled files in the appropriate order. The compiler and the executor are two different processes in CF. My guess is that the compiler takes lots of extra time and resources, so it does all its work before getting into the execution process. However like I said before I don't know any of this for sure, it's just how I understand the process. All that being said, unless there is a real need to futz with extensions, all extensions should match their filetype. PDF should be .pdf, Excel should be .xls, etc. In general it makes life a lot easier. Steve snip My question was is it possible to have CF compile a template requested in the url only if it is executed, so far the answer is no. /snip ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345588 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Apparently, both application.cfm and the template are compiled first, then executed.

RE: SOT - adding password forgot function to Mura CMS
Current security practices believe this is a bad idea. If you could do that then as the person running the site you would be able to get access to all of your users passwords. The password reset feature is safer. The user pick the password and the system hashes it, that is all that is saved and it is one way (you can't get the original password). Then when they try to log in again the password they enter is hashed the same way and compared to the hash that is saved. If they match they get in, if not well they can always reset.

RE: scoping
Always scope your variables! We used to have a cf programmer around here that used to put the variable level in the application scope. Then he occasionally put it in session scope, occasionally in request scope, sometimes in the variables scope, and even sometimes he would pull a query with level as a column name. Troubleshooting his application was a nightmare because in the output code he would just put #level#. We never knew which scope was actually supposed to be displaying, or which one was without doing extra leg work. Scope everything, be safe, make troubleshooting easier on yourself, and maybe even eliminate some errors by doing it!

This Section 3.2 applies only if Licensee has obtained either a valid developer edition of the Software or one or more separate Production Software licenses (see Section 3.1.3). Adobe grants Licensee a license to install and use the Software as Development Software on one Server. Licensee must separately obtain the right to install or use the Software as Developer Software on more than one Server. In addition to the other terms contained herein, Licensee's license to the Development Software is limited to use in Licensee's technical environment strictly for testing and development purposes and not for production purposes. Licensee may (a) install the Development Software on Servers connected to Licensee's Internal Network provided that the total number of Computers used to operate the Development Software does not exceed the licensed number of Servers, and (b) permit Authorized Users to use the Development Software in accordance with this Agreement. Licensee shall not (i) use the Development Software for any application deployment in a live or stand-by production environment, in each case, including, without limitation, in any environment accessed by application end-users including but not limited to servers, workstations, kiosks, and mobile computers, (ii) access the Development Software from more than a single IP address at any given time, or (c) use the Development Software to deploy applications that are accessed by end users.

RE: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC)
Probably a stupid question, but if the data was used across applications wouldn't it make sense to push it into the server scope? That would allow you to have one copy of the needed items, but still let you keep the applications separate. I know that a lot of the time having a different application name for each application while troubleshooting can be extremely helpful. I don't have a situation like this and I hardly ever look at the server scope, so I'm just asking because it will help further my knowledge. :) Steve -Original Message- From: Eric Cobb [mailto:cft...@ecartech.com] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 9:15 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC) One thing you may want to take into consideration, if you plan on having many sites run through this codebase, is NOT giving each site a unique application name. (as in cfset this.name = #cgi.server_name#). I once worked on a MSOC system that ran somewhere around 2700 websites, and each site had its own application name. So, every time we cached a CFC in the application scope, we had 2700 separate instances of it, even though they were all identical. We had 2700 application.dsn variables stored in memory, even though they were all identical. We had multiple CF servers each trying to store and manage the same 2700 separate applications, all of which were completely identical. And the worst part was, there was no passing ?reinit=1 if we made code changes and needed to reset the application scope, we had to restart each CF server and take all 2700 sites offline in order to reset all of the applications. To me, this always seemed inefficient, and a gross waste of CF processes and memory. Just some thoughts I wanted to throw out there. Definitely something to think about if you're planning on having a large number of sites on your system.

RE: Invalid Precision Value from SQL Server CF9
No it doesn't.
Here is an example on SQL 2005:
declare @test table (
testVal bit
)
insert into @test (testval) values (0);
insert into @test (testval) values ('Yes'); -- Results in error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Yes' to data type
bit.
insert into @test (testval) values ('True'); -- Results in error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'True' to data type
bit.
insert into @test (testval) values ('No'); -- Results in error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'No' to data type
bit.
insert into @test (testval) values ('False'); -- Results in error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'False' to data type
bit.
select * from @test
Sql expects data types that match. ColdFusion isn't strongly typed so
false and no are equivalent to 0.

RE: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
Is your JQuery validation returning false? Here is how I see it (I'm assuming here so don't shoot me)... CFValidation = false JQuery = true One result is true so it processes. CFValidation = true JQuery = false Same One result is true so it processes. CFValidation = false JQuery = false Both are false processing ends. CFValidation = true JQuery = true Both are true so it processes. You either need to change your cfvalidation to be jquery, or build a wrapper function for both validation that checks to make sure that both validate before moving on. Just a simple function that is, if CF or JQuery is false return false, if both true return true.

Need a little sql help...
Hi all, My SQL mojo seems to have left me. Here is the situation, I have 1 table. In this table there are some times two rows that should have actually been one. Here is an example to explain. Table: Name, Age, address one, address two Row 1: Steve,40,123 Anystreet,NULL Row 2: Steve,40,NULL,456 Anystreet What should have been passed to me would have been: Steve,40,123 Anystreet,456 Anystreet The actual tables have a lot more columns and there are a few that this can happen with. The columns are either (null and not null values) or match exactly across rows. Any ideas what the SQL would look like to return a single row for each with all of the fields merged?

RE: Need a little sql help...
That was just example data... The Name is actually a distinct number letter combination. When the data is passed over to me they are supposed to pre-merge the rows into one, but they don't so I have been tasked to deal with it when the data suppliers don't. Another issue is that there are MANY more columns, so I could actually have 20 rows with this situation. They all merge into one though.

Sometimes the browser would see the xls extension but would then check the content and see html and act weirdly. By using the poi I not only get rid of those problems but it also got rid of the Excel Not in the same format popup. If you can consider this option let me know and I may be able to help a little.

Remove the # signs. You are telling cf to pass dateOfTotal to the server
as a variable value.

Well, I switched the DB and CF functions around in the statement,
changed the CF function in the first half of the comparison
to a DB (MySQL 5) function, and changed the column name throwing
the error to dateOfTotal to be certain using datetime as a column
name was not the problem.
But I still get an error, and I can't figure out why. I even renamed
the table, in case using a number at the start of the table name
was problematic.
select totalNew
from a_dailyNumberNewHMLSProperties
where date_add(now(), -1 days) = '#dateAdd('d', -1, dateOfTotal)#'
Variable dateOfTotal is undefined.
How can that column name be undefined? Why is it not being
understood in the SQL?
A!

P.S. And while there would be nothing wrong with continuing to use a
ColdFusion function to create the date time value to be compared to the
results of the database function us choose to use around the database
column. It might just be simpler to use database function through out,
as all DBMS have perfectly fine functions to get the current time from

Could it be that that date updates every time the CF Server tries to run (on its scheduled time) but doesn't actually run it.

Hi all, I recently got tasked with doing some compatibility testing. While doing that testing I found that there were other things that were wrong with the website(s). This is a bunch of sites that are developed by multiple programmers, so I expect a little slop here and there, but I found many places where there were missing background pictures, bad links, etc. and I want to figure out the problems and compile a list for the developers to fix. Generally right now I'm looking at the HTML errors. I've just recently discovered Fiddler, and it was very helpful, but would be even more so if there were some way for me to kick something off that would test all the pages. Sort of like the google bot that is used for searches. Also, does anyone have any tools that they use for web testing that they would suggest? Free is always best, but I would look at programs that cost money as well. Also, I forgot to say that this is on an intranet, so I have to be able to install the items locally for testing. I would be reviewing any suggestions on my own computer/website and if I find any that really work I would put in requests for them to be company standard software (may not happen but worth a try).

RE: 3 layers of validation?
First off, NEVER NEVER NEVER (should I say it again) assume that the data hitting the server or the database is coming from your form page. It is extremely easy for someone to do a view source and find out where the form data posts to. Then they can send all sorts of crap at the server just to see what happens (script kiddies anyone?). Because of that you have to do server side validation. Client side validation is more for the (wait for it) Client, It's much nicer to have the page say sorry you put in bad data please fix it then make them wait for a new page that says please go back and fix your data. Lastly, NEVER assume that your server application (CF, PHP, ASPX) is the only thing that will hit your database. Say someone finds your database and calls a procedure. You would really hate it if they passed in username = 'dummy';drop usertable;-- and your code didn't account for it. Suddenly your usertable is gone. Always check in each place. Think of it like a secure military base. You have to get thorough security at the gate, then you have to go through security at the building, then you have to go through security to get in the room (if what is inside is important enough to protect). At each level the guards are there to make sure that their specific area is protected. You can jump the fence, but it's harder to get in the building. If you find a way into the building, then it's almost impossible to get in the room. If you get in the room, no problem, we will shoot you when you come out! :) No one level of security can assume that the other has done its job.

True, but if they have only gotten access to a login that can only run stored procedures and your stored procedures do the checks you are a little bit better off. The programmer can't assume that the DBA is doing his job with security and the DBA can't assume that the programmer is doing his job with security.

ColdFusion and Internet Explorer Compatibility testing tool
I have to do testing for a migration project using the Internet Explorer Compatibility Testing Tool, IE8 and Windows 7. Before we get into an IE/Firefox/Chrome war, this is a corporate requirement! During testing the following issues have come up: 1) I've found that any time a ColdFusion page is hit I get Issue Type: Mime Handling. From everything I've read, this is because IE8 matches the file extension to the mime type. In this case .cfm and text/html, but IE doesn't see that as valid. Anyone else come across this? The pages still render correctly, it just makes the error in the testing log. 2) Also, anytime a page is hit that has Flash in it (Flash Form, Flex, Flash), the Issue Type of ActiveX Blocking occurs. The Flash still runs, I believe the error is occurring because it does a test to see if flash exists.

Subject: SOT: SQL Server Data Archival - my solution
I know a lot of time people (including myself) come here with questions,
and
don't have many opportunities to offer solutions to share. I had a need
to
store a record of changes to records in database tables for a content
management system. I wanted to keep things simple, without requiring a
bunch of additional code to my CF codebase, and I didn't want to make
SQL
Server management more complicated than it needed to be by adding a ton
of
tables.
Anyway, in a nutshell, I've got an archive table that stores changed
records
as an XML object in a field. An insert, update, delete trigger grabs
values
from the inserted or deleted tables, packs that info up, and saves it to
the
archive table. The beauty of this is its relative simplicity -- the
archive
table can store data from any table in the database.
Here's the write-up. I'm sure it's not perfect -- I'm far from an SQL
Server expert - but it's going to work very well for my needs.
Process - single archive table storing XML
The archive table would look something like this:
*tblArchive*
uid uniqueidentifier DEFAULT NEWID(),
timestamp datetime DEFAULT GETDATE(),
sourceTable varchar(100),
sourceID int,
action varchar(10),
xData xml
* UID would be a unique identifier for this archive table.
* Timestamp would set the time of archive and would allow to
sort
revisions based upon when they happened.
* sourceTable would be the name of the table that the data is
coming
from.
* sourceID would be the record identifier (presumably the
primary
key) of that record from the original table.
* Action would be whatever SQL action was performed on that
record,
i.e. insert, update, delete
* xData would be the XML object that stores the record that is
being
changed.
Assuming a fictitious (and rather simple) table named tblUsers with
the
following structure:
*tblUsers*
id (int, PK, ident, autoincrement),
fname (varchar(20)),
lname (varchar(30)),
employeeid (int),
extension (int)
Archive Trigger for Inserts, Updates and Deletes
For each table that is to have archived data, run the following trigger,
modifying table names where necessary:
CREATE TRIGGER[tgrArchiveRecord]
ON[tblUsers]
FOR INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
AS
IF@@rowcount = 0
RETURN
DECLARE @table varchar(100);
DECLARE @sourceid int;
DECLARE @action varchar(10);
SET @table = 'tblUsers';
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM DELETED)
BEGIN
IFEXISTS (SELECT * FROM DELETED) AND
EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INSERTED)
BEGIN
SET @sourceid = (SELECT id FROM inserted);
SET @action = 'update';
INSERT INTO tblArchive(sourceTable, sourceid,
action, xData)
SELECT @table, id, @action, (SELECT *
FROM deleted AS record
WHERE deleted.id = record.id FOR XML AUTO)
FROM deleted;
RETURN
END
SET @sourceid = (SELECT id FROM deleted);
SET @action = 'delete';
INSERT INTO tblArchive (sourceTable, sourceid, action,
xData)
SELECT @table, id, @action, (SELECT *
FROM deleted AS record
WHERE deleted.id = record.id FOR XML AUTO)
FROM deleted;
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @sourceid = (SELECT id FROM inserted);
SET @action = 'insert';
INSERT INTO tblArchive (sourceTable, sourceid, action,
xData)
SELECT @table, id, @action, (SELECT *
FROM inserted AS record
WHERE inserted.id = record.id FOR XML
AUTO)
FROM inserted;
END
GO
Retrieving Data From Archive
The likely scenario for retrieving data from the archive table is to
either
display a history of a record, or to present previous changes so that a
user
can roll back changes to a previous version. Retrieving data from the
Archive table's XML column is fairly straightforward:
SELECT NULL as uid, u.id AS id, u.fname, u.lname, u.employeeid,
u.extension, getdate() AS [timestamp]
FROMtblUsers u
UNION
SELECT A.uid,
A.sourceID AS id,
A.xData.value('(/*/@fname)[1]', 'varchar(20)') AS fname,
A.xData.value('(/*/@lname)[1]', 'varchar(30)') AS lname,

I realize my question is very vague and barely a question. I am picking at threads. CFSERVER service is running under admin since they require access to data across network. No question the user has more rights than it should have but that is not the issue presently. The issue is that processes that they ran previously under Windows 2003 R2 are not running under 2008 R2. These are processes that include batch files for the most part. The batch files work just fine outside of CF. I only want to know if it is possible to run Batch files within CF8 when running on W2k8 R2. If it is what changes if any must be made to get them to work. Additionally they are having issues with Custom Tags (CFX Tags C++). Of course this is so generic since they did not even tell me which tags are causing the problems. Are custom tags very popular in CF 8 and Cf 9? I recall when checking out Railo that they do not even support custom tags because so few people require them. Is this a fact and if so what would be used in their place? Any basic advice on how to handle CF 8.01 under 2008 R2 when there are batch files being run is appreciated. This is purely a maintenance site used internally at the office. The batch files are run and CF does all the database work and sets up the scripts. It is a very nice and fully automated system when working. Any IDEAS are appreciated. As you can likely tell I am not a CF programmer.

CFGrid and actionscript
Hi all, I have a small dilemma and would like some suggestions. I have an app that has been working for a long time. It is a Flash Form using a cfgrid. ActionScript and Flash Remoting is used to deal with updating and saving changes, etc. If there is only a row or two in the grid everything is fine, but if there are more than that, the updates to the database take so long that the flash form times out and locks up. Right now the code re-saves every row if it was changed or not. I want to switch to only change items that were actually changed to make things run faster. Using a CFGrid in a non Flash Form sends not only the grid data, but also what changed and what the original value was. Does anyone know how to see this same information in ActionScript? As I see it my options are as follows: 1) Learn how to see that extra information and use it to limit what is updated. 2) Make a copy of the original grid before they make changes, pass both grids to the cfc and have it determine what is changed and update. I'm afraid this might add a bit of over head as well. I don't have time to re-write this app and I can't share the url because it is a internal company website. Any ideas or info on extra data in cfgrids would be appreciated.

RE: Best conference?
So... Did anyone else get the email stating that this year would be the LAST CFUnited conference?

RE: struct lookup vs. query of queries
Correct me if I'm wrong (please) but isn't a query already a Struct of Arrays?
I mean the following is totally valid:
Table user_list (user_fname, user_lname) {shown in comma delimited format}
Cameron, Childress
Michael, Dinowitz
Steve, Durette
cfquery name=myUserList (blah blah)
Select user_id, user_name
From user_list;
/cfquery
cfoutput
#Variables.myUserList[user_fname][2] #
/cfoutput
Would output: Michael
So after the query is loaded, you can just use the data. No copying no extra
query, just direct access.

I've got a loop which will need to look up a piece of data on each

to the database (outside the loop). I can either do a query of queries
on each iteration or I can turn the query into a structure and do a
structure lookup (structkeyexists, etc) on each iteration. I'm
assuming that the struct lookup will be faster/more efficient even
after having to turn the query into a structure.
Anyone have an opinion on this?
I virtually always choose to use a struct in these cases. There are
very few cases where I have seen an argument to use QoQ for virtually
anything. QoQ is typically much slower than structs, assuming you are
using alot of values from the query. Sometimes it can even be faster
to go back to the DB each time rather than QoQ. Seriously.
Depending on the use case, I like to convert the Query to a struct and
then cache that struct either in a shared scope, or using CF9's
EHCache caching mechanisms. You can wrap that whole thing up in a
nice little CFC and it become really quite reusable.

RE: cfqueryparam question (null attribute)
Why not define form.myDate in the first place.
cfparam name=form.myDate default= /
Then...
cfqueryparam value=#form.myDate# null=#not len(trim(form.myDate))#
/

Subject: Re: cfqueryparam question (null attribute)
Hello Everyone (again):
Another form of cfqueryparam has come up and I was curious how your
outcomes might pan out.
The following cfqueryparam passes, BUT when NULL it passes the default
date in SQL Server (01/01/1900) Also, I had to take out the cfsqltype,
it would error out if I did.
cfqueryparam value=#isDefined('form.myDate')?form.myDate:''#
null=#!isDefined('form.myDate')# /
So, if I leave the date field blank it enters in this date (01/01/1900)
into the db, if I put in a date then its fine. This code works (and I'm
currently using):
cfif isDefined(form.myDate) AND #form.myDate# NEQ
cfqueryparam value=#form.myDate# cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp
cfelse
cfqueryparam null=yes
/cfif
I can keep it this way of course, but I really do like this new format
and would like to see if it's possible to use this.
Here's my theory, a space is inserted when the field is left blank when
I should be passing a NULL value for dates... It's another shot in the
dark, so I tried this format:
cfqueryparam value=#isDefined('form.myDate')?form.myDate:'NULL'#
null=#!isDefined('form.myDate')# /
Simply added in NULL for the else, but that was a no go. Again, it
passed through the submitting of the form, but the date still showed up
as the default 01/01/1900 date. So far I've been able to figure out
integers and vars but here's a new challenge of the date/time. Thanks
everyone in advance!
