Re: JRun 4 Updater 3 Now Available

2004-03-19 Thread Stephen Dupre
Just to clarify.

The vast majority of what’s in JRun Updater 3 is what was made available to CF customers in CFMX 6.1

Updater 3 gets these fixes to JRun 4 customers.

There is a some small number items fixed in Updater 3 that aren’t in CFMX 6.1.We're working on a cumulative hotfix due in April to make those available for CFMX 6.1 Server-configuration customers.

Some other fixes available ***POST-U3*** (didn't make U3) for JRun and CFMX customers through hotfixes + other random thoughts I'll share: 
(note: all of these will be in the 6.1 cumulative hotfix due in April)

- we expect to release new datadirect drivers soon to fix the oracle and sqlserver issues customers have reported (no more data, arrayindexoutofbounds, hangs) with the 3.2 drivers shipped with JRun 4 Updater 2 and CFMX 6.1. They are still in testing mode.JRun4 Updater 3 got the 3.1+ drivers since they were the most stable.3.1+ was also made available as a hotfix for CFMX customers with issues.We expect to replace the 3.1+ for JRun and CFMX customers with newer drivers in the next few weeks if testing goes well.

Please email me if you'd like to participate in the beta.

- some connector enhancements - including failover in clustering working as expected (we will have a hotfix for this soon- please email me).These fixes are long overdue.

- connection pooling fixes for JRun datasources to match the pooling fixes for ColdFusion datasources (see technote below). 
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/conn_pool_hotfix.htm

(for apps like AbleCommerce that use JRun datasources ie entered through the JMC and available to all instances).Users of JRun J2EE CFMX versions would need these if they have connection-limited datasources *AND* the underlying application used JRun datasources. 

This fix will be made available in a few days.

- Client variable purge fixes for SQL and registry datasources (there were 4 bugs fixed).This often showed up when the server hung every hour on the hour for the maintenance task of purging client variables older than [N] days. This hits many customers if they use registry and the registry grows to say 50,000 or 100,000+ entries.SQL datasources are recommended but even if users switched, the registry purges still occurred (in addition to SQL purges) and could hang the system.The fix now respects the unchecked purge setting for all client datasource types.

These are the ones that come to mind that get reported most often hanging systems.

***For Dick AppleBaum***:
1) JRun and, therefore, CF use the JVM 1.3 instead of 1.4 (even with
the fix postedChristian Cantrell's blog site)

 Part of this is the installer not allowing the selection.There are also issues with using JDK 1.4 (jvm.cfg issues).We've fixed this post-Updater 3 in the launcher.(jrun stub)
Please email me and I can get you some code to test. 

2) When starting a CF 6.1 JRun server instance, the scheduler does not
start (see below).

I've heard of this sporadically but can't reproduce it.Perhaps send me your neo-cron.xml and jrun.xml and I'll see if I can repro it on my machine.6.1 definitely massaged this .xml file on an existing server.Perhaps the one in your new instance got corrupted somehow.

RE: JRun 4 Updater 3 Now Available

2004-03-19 Thread DeMarco, Alex
Note: I currently have a bug open regarding JRUN 4 Update 3 bug 54614.
If you have a context root of / for cfmx. CFMX will not work... this
appears to happen under W2k with IIS and Linux with Apache.

That's great!

If we are running CFMX ENT on JRun, should we wait for a CFMX update that includes this?

Thanks,

I would, as there will probably be other bits'n'pieces in the CF update, and 
unless you are having issues addressed in the JRun update, you might as well 
hole off and just have your site down once.

Re: JRun 4 Updater 3 Now Available

2004-03-12 Thread Dick Applebaum
I just installed the updater on Mac OS X -- there are at least 2 issues:

1) JRun and, therefore, CF use the JVM 1.3 instead of 1.4 (even with
the fix postedChristian Cantrell's blog site)

2) When starting a CF 6.1 JRun server instance, the scheduler does not
start (see below)

Thoughts?

RE: JRun 4 Updater 3 Now Available

2004-03-12 Thread Stacy Young
I installed SP3 on my CFMX/JRun 4 install after looking at the release
notes...seems ok but I have not run any thorough tests. Although this
known issue scares me. Basically says clustering doesn't work.

50179 - A down machine in a cluster with multiple machines is not
detected immediately. This can hold up processing for minutes and the
requests often get routed to the server that is down.

We've seen this in-house and could never nail down if it was a config
issue or a bug.

Amen. We've had this problem for a while ourselves, and it's such a pain in 
the butt. I guess U3 does nothing to alleviate the bug (which is what I 
think it is). I'm curious as to whether this is an issue only if 
StickySessions are enabled, disabled, or either.
