[cfaussie] Re: jmap heap dump not working
Just to close off this thread, I got around the issue by using the entire JDK, it would appear that just using jmap on its own doesn't work with the standard JVM libraries (no doubt jmap needs specific libraries that only come with the JDK). I just put the JDK (downloaded and extracted straight from the downloads website) in it's own directory on the server, and called jmap directly from there, which worked a treat.

I did download the current JDK. I have no idea about library versions / mismatches - as I simply used the wholeJDK. The process that is killed... That might be specific to Mac - I don't exactly remember. But it came about after some Googling - as I was having some real issues with getting the dump to work. and that seemed to solve it for me. So now I just keep those lines in my clipboard manager for whenever I need them. I suppose the real questions is; Does it matter if you use the whole JDK for getting jmap to work or not? Does using the JDK libraries simply allow the jmap application to use appropriate libraries for it to run - or does it effect the way it binds itself to the running process too - so that it does matter that it does not match the JVM. Could you not upgrade the JVM / JDK to be the same version? Initially - I say - do whatever it takes to get it working... but I am far from a java / library dependencies guru - so take it with a grain of salt! Gavin.

Jmap wasn't on the box from the standard install, it is from a JDK I downloaded (which is supposed to be the same version of java which matches what's on the Linux box) I just copy the jmap file from the JDK stuff I downloaded. Is it possible that the libjli.so file that is already on the linux box is not the one the jmap from the JDK I downloaded expects perhaps?

[cfaussie] Re: web services and application.cfc
It's a real web service, I use this script to call it using the cfinvoke web service way; cfinvoke webservice=http://address-to-file/lib_util.cfc?WSDL; method=mymethod timeout=10 returnVariable=returnVar The headers show it's a web service. I've seen references around the net that you can only use isSOAPRequest() in the actual cfc that the remote method is contained in, so checking for it anywhere outside of that such as the application.cfc doesn't work.' I have ended up getting round the issue by just checking for 'application/soap' in the cgi.HTTP_ACCEPT variable (not thoroughly tested yet though, but should be fine) Barry.

[cfaussie] using Solr in a multi instance configuration
Hi, Has anyone used, or does anyone know how to get Solr going properly in a multi instance configuration? We have two instances on a single server installed; cfusion uat the solr directory sits buried inside the cfusion instance directory, but the uat instance does not have a solr directory. It seems by default that the idea is to have the new instance point at the solr server running out of the original instance 'cfusion' We want the uat instance to have seperate solr search collections but using the same collection names as the ones in cfusion, which means we need to have a seperate solr store somehow. I've had a look at running 'multiple solr webapps' from a single solr server, but the documentation on this is very poor and I have not been able to successfully get this working. Do we need to duplicate the solr directory into the new instance, and run a seperate solr server start script with solr running on a different port or something?

Have you compared the JRun parameters (in jvm.config in the JRun bin folder) to see what the differences are between CF8 and CF6? CF8 may start JRun with 350MB allocated already (but may not have actually filled that 350MB allocated). I would say 350 - 400MB on idle is normal for JRun on CF8.

I'm finding it impossible to get the results I need, and the query filter parameter doesn't seem to be behaving as the docs state: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#fq The filter query I'm using is: title:information* but I get results where title is 'Information request' and 'Enrolment closure' which makes no sense :( Even if I set the filter to just 'title:information request' it still manages to pull the record with title 'Enrolment closure' in.

[cfaussie] Re: Microsoft SQL server CPU very high, close to 100% a lot of the time
Hello, We have resolved our SQL server CPU issue and I thought i'd post the resolution here in case anyone is interested. We switched from Windows server 2008 to Windows server 2008 R2 (although this didn't make any difference to performance, it was simply that our database server got upgraded so the latest OS went on) The RAM was increased from 4GB to 8GB which initially didn't show any improvement until AWE (Address Windowing Extensions) was forced on, that resulted in a much higher cache usage by SQL. We added a second CPU which made a big difference, and it was also found that with VMWare (and I'm trying to regurgitate what our DBA told me :)), a single CPU with two cores apparently doesn't do multi- threading as you would expect, the VM only sends one thread at a time to it. It wasn't until a second CPU was added that it would do proper multi-threading (at least this is how it was in our overall VM configuration). So now our CPU activity on the server is fine, so it seems it was a combination of things server wise that fixed it, we also had a good look into all our queries and didn't find any problems there.

[cfaussie] Re: Serving of large files over the web - performance impact, issues?
Hi Charlie, I'm only talking about non CF file serving, the file download would just be a direct link to the file e.g. http://www.mysite.com/files/somelargefile.avi So it won't get as far as coldfusion processing, it'll just be the web server itself (apache in this case). Regards Barry On Oct 30, 4:54 am, charlie arehart charlie_li...@carehart.org wrote: Barry, do you mean using CFCONTENT from within CFML? If so, then besides what the others have said, I'll clarify that you need to be concerned not only with a limited number of http connections that can be made to a server, if by that you meant the web server, but also tying up CF threads (the simultaneous request threads setting in the CF Admin). Each request that starts a CFCONTENT will tie up one of these threads while the request is serving content. Given that the default number of threads (which varies in Multiserver deployments and Server/Standard deployments) or whatever you may have changed them to be, it may or may not be an issue tying up threads this way. The best way to tell is to use a tool like FusionReactor or SeeFusion, which can show what requests are running at any time (and for how long) on CF 6, 7, 8, or 9. You can also see it with the CF Server Monitor, if you have CF 8 or 9 Enterprise, and as long as you use its start monitoring button. Tying up one or a few threads this way for even minutes may not be the end of the world, but if something happens where you get a bump in activity (or some other cause of slowdowns), then every request thread can become precious. Note as well that the speed with which these downloads will finish is dependent on your clients doing the downloading, which adds more challenge to how best to accommodate this situation. /charlie arehart char...@carehart.org Providing CF and CFBuilder troubleshooting services athttp://www.carehart.org/consulting -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of BarryC Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 5:49 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] Serving of large files over the web - performance impact, issues?

[cfaussie] Re: XML Parser and xml parsing problems in Coldfusion
I have worked out what the issue is (YAY), It appears that it is a case of un-vared variables, the variable that the parsed XML is being read into is not scoped in a cfc function, causing any reads for from that variable to fail if another process is writing to it - seeings it becomes a global variable having not been vared. Trying a lock around the variables before I properly scoped them also worked showing that multiple processes would have been trying to read/ write those values at the same time. I was able to re-produce the errors by load testing our dev box with 25 odd simultaneous users requesting the same page. I will now go and annoy the vendors :) Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Hi, Does anyone here have experience in the field of XML Parsers, and more specifically, the one that Coldfusion uses.

[cfaussie] Re: XML Parser and xml parsing problems in Coldfusion
Frequent Illegal Argument Exceptions where coldfusion will try and access a value from the parsed result but that value will not exist (and this isn't from dynamic XML stuff, it's from static XML files that never change, so the values should always be there) which makes me think that the parser is returning an invalid result without returning a failed parse error. Yeah I've since found that Coldfusion 9 (without any updaters) uses Xerces 2.9.1, and that on the Xerces site there is now version 2.10.0 with a slew of bug fixes listed. Coldfusion updater doesn't list anything to do with XML parsing fixes so I though I might just have a crack at updating the Xerces jar used by coldfusion. This is normally what returns in the stack trace when the parsing or XML dom access issue occurs: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: type: -1 at org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl.getNodeObject(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementNSImpl.synchronizeData(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl.getNodeName(Unknown Source) at coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap.resolveElementName(XmlNodeMap.java:592) at coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap.resolveName(XmlNodeMap.java:662) at coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap.containsName(XmlNodeMap.java:674) at coldfusion.runtime.Scope.containsKey(Scope.java:105) at coldfusion.runtime.DotResolver.containsKey(DotResolver.java:362) at coldfusion.runtime.DotResolver.containsKey(DotResolver.java:376) at coldfusion.runtime.DotResolver.containsKey(DotResolver.java:376) at coldfusion.runtime.DotResolver.containsKey(DotResolver.java:387) at coldfusion.runtime.DotResolver.containsKey(DotResolver.java:407) at coldfusion.runtime.NeoPageContext.SymTab_symbolPartiallyExists(NeoPageContext.java: 1259) at coldfusion.runtime.NeoPageContext.SymTab_findReadScope(NeoPageContext.java: 1173) at coldfusion.runtime.NeoPageContext.SymTab_resolveSplitName(NeoPageContext.java: 1012) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage.resolveCanonicalName(CfJspPage.java: 1734) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._resolve(CfJspPage.java:1677) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._resolveAndAutoscalarize(CfJspPage.java: 1812) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._resolveAndAutoscalarize(CfJspPage.java: 1805) at cfsite2ecfc1225365976$funcINITREQUEST.runFunction(/path/to/the/ file/parsing/the/xml/file.cfc:190) .

[cfaussie] Re: Recursive function giving me 500 null error
It sounds like your recursive function is either not ending or
collecting so many query results it can't handle the amount.
Try passing a counter along with your downTree() function e.g.
downTree(result,counter),
then put a cfabort in downTree() when that counter reaches say 10
(increment the counter each time in the loop of course :)), each time
through the loop dump out what your query returns and what your result
variable holds and see if the values from your query and the values
you stick in your result struct are what you expect.
I notice you are always using the first result of the query each time,
is it possible the first row of the query is always the same item and
you get an infinite loop out of it?

I would also suggest you confirm that any hotfix files in the [cf]\lib\updates directory is in fact for CF9 (they have the version number in the jar file name). I've helped more than a few shops where they had inadvertently put uploaded to the CF Admin (or placed there in that directory, which it does for you) jars for the wrong CF version. In past releases I might also have recommend to check if Adobe had come out with an updated jdbc driver, since those always had to be applied separate from cumulative hotfixes. But there've been none for CF9 yet (there have been updates by DataDirect, but not packaged by Adobe for us). I will point out that there is a Microsoft JDBC driver which you could try.

What is the best way to do this? Idealy it would be nice to just copy configuration files at a system level over (which will also work better for our configuration backup and versioning system, otherwise - I see there is a configuration packaging and delployment tool - are we stuck with having to use that?

[cfaussie] Coldfusion 8/9 Verity index issue on Linux
Hi, We have an issue at the moment where our collections are not indexing when we try to index them. The indexing of the collection hangs, and in the thread dump it looks like the K2 service is trying to read/write to the collection. Does anyone have any ideas about what the issue might be, or has anyone that is running Linux had verity issues before? Here is the thread that is trying to do write to the collection (this one is actually creating a collection, but it still has the same issue): jrpp-130 prio=10 tid=0x1b2a9800 nid=0x6577 runnable [0x47413000] java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(Unknown Source) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Unknown Source) - locked 0x2b295aab66b8 (a com.verity.xmit.XmitInputStream) at com.verity.xmit.XmitInputStream.buildString(Unknown Source) - locked 0x2b295aab66b8 (a com.verity.xmit.XmitInputStream) at com.verity.xmit.XmitInputStream.readString(Unknown Source) at com.verity.xmit.k2.UridiumInvoker.sendParameter(Unknown Source) at com.verity.xmit.k2.UridiumInvoker.invokeXmitMethod(Unknown Source) at com.verity.net.uridium.Connection.ping(Unknown Source) at com.verity.net.Connection.checkResource(Unknown Source) at com.verity.resource.ResourcePool.testAndLockResource(Unknown Source) - locked 0x2b295aab6428 (a com.verity.net.k2.Connection) at com.verity.resource.ResourcePool.newResource(Unknown Source) - locked 0x2b295a61df48 (a java.util.Vector) at com.verity.net.Connection.getConnection(Unknown Source) at com.verity.net.Connection.getConnection(Unknown Source) at com.verity.rpc.transport.k2.XmitTransport.getConnection(Unknown Source) at com.verity.rpc.transport.k2.XmitTransport.executeMethod(Unknown Source) at com.verity.rpc.transport.k2.AbstractSkel.xmit(Unknown Source) at com.verity.services.UridODKAdminService_Impl_Skel.openWorkspace(Unknown Source) at com.verity.organize.K2IndexerContext.openWorkSpace(Unknown Source) at coldfusion.tagext.search.Utils.getWorkspace(Utils.java:137) at coldfusion.tagext.search.Utils.collectionCreate_actual(Utils.java: 1469) at coldfusion.tagext.search.Utils.collectionCreate(Utils.java:1386) at coldfusion.tagext.search.CollectionTag.doActionCreateOrMap(CollectionTag.java: 380) at coldfusion.tagext.search.CollectionTag.doActionCreateOrMap(CollectionTag.java: 265) at coldfusion.tagext.search.CollectionTag.doStartTag(CollectionTag.java: 194) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._emptyTcfTag(CfJspPage.java:2722) at cfindex2ecfm283217441._factor2(E:\cf9_final\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE \administrator\verity\index.cfm:126) at cfindex2ecfm283217441._factor24(E:\cf9_final\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE \administrator\verity\index.cfm:94) at cfindex2ecfm283217441.runPage(E:\cf9_final\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE \administrator\verity\index.cfm:1) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage.invoke(CfJspPage.java:231) at coldfusion.tagext.lang.IncludeTag.doStartTag(IncludeTag.java:416) at coldfusion.filter.CfincludeFilter.invoke(CfincludeFilter.java:65) at coldfusion.filter.ApplicationFilter.invoke(ApplicationFilter.java: 363) at coldfusion.filter.RequestMonitorFilter.invoke(RequestMonitorFilter.java: 48) at coldfusion.filter.MonitoringFilter.invoke(MonitoringFilter.java: 40) at coldfusion.filter.PathFilter.invoke(PathFilter.java:87) at coldfusion.filter.ExceptionFilter.invoke(ExceptionFilter.java:70) at coldfusion.filter.ClientScopePersistenceFilter.invoke(ClientScopePersistenceFilter.java: 28) at coldfusion.filter.BrowserFilter.invoke(BrowserFilter.java:38) at coldfusion.filter.NoCacheFilter.invoke(NoCacheFilter.java:46) at coldfusion.filter.GlobalsFilter.invoke(GlobalsFilter.java:38) at coldfusion.filter.DatasourceFilter.invoke(DatasourceFilter.java: 22) at coldfusion.filter.CachingFilter.invoke(CachingFilter.java:53) at coldfusion.filter.RequestThrottleFilter.invoke(RequestThrottleFilter.java: 126) at coldfusion.CfmServlet.service(CfmServlet.java:200) at coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet.service(BootstrapServlet.java: 89) at jrun.servlet.FilterChain.doFilter(FilterChain.java:86) at coldfusion.monitor.event.MonitoringServletFilter.doFilter(MonitoringServletFilter.java: 42) at coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapFilter.doFilter(BootstrapFilter.java: 46) at jrun.servlet.FilterChain.doFilter(FilterChain.java:94) at jrun.servlet.FilterChain.service(FilterChain.java:101) at jrun.servlet.ServletInvoker.invoke(ServletInvoker.java:106) at

Yes I was going to mention that, I'm not sure what the story is with that (I'm still wondering that myself) It's possible there were some references still pointing to the shared drive or that the slowness was masked by other things we have since fixed.

The slow part is when file attributes are being requested for a file on the NFS (this was also shown in the thread dumps with the getBooleanAttributes() function coming up a lot). We have done a couple of tests with rather interesting results (we set up a specific test that loops over some directories and looks at the files in those directories, it does a fileExists(..) on each file in those directories); 1. test local file access time. 2. test file access time via share mounted via NFS path e.g. \\server \path\sharedfiles\ 3. test file access time via an iSCSI mounted drive (still over the network, but the operating system sees it as a lettered drive e.g. d: \sharedfiles\ The local file access time was very fast, for the 20 folders it did it in between 16ms and 50ms The FMS access time was very slow, about 3 seconds for the same 20 folders (I'd expect some delay over the network, but this seems rather a lot). The iSCSI mount was surprisingly fast at about 130ms (indicating that network latency time isn't really the issue?) We're a bit stumped, and the systems guys have had a look at options at the NFS end and there doesn't really seem to be much configuration they can do there. Kai, you mentioned that you run some of your servers with an NFS share, but have no problems, how is your share implemented, do you run it on Linux with the windows servers connecting to that?

I've done some debugging on this now, and each request is checking for roughly 21 files to see if they exist (which they don't). The path exists, but the file doesn't.

Hi Charlie, It's not a development box, it's a production box , our soon-to-be production site (well one of them), so everything on it is essentially enterprise. I did increase the IIS threads limit (as pointed out by someone earlier on in this thread) so I don't know if it would be IIS or not. The only things remaining now in the thread dumps aside from queries are reading and writing of files to disk and not much else - I would have expected to see more code level stuff but there is still a decent portion of file I/O. I'll get our systems chaps to have a look at the system I/O performance and see if they can find anything. the 150ms I mentioned was from the sum of those 21 file exists , expand path checks. And yes it certainly must have been an issue because the performance has increased a lot - around 40 odd %. On May 20, 11:33 am, charlie arehart charlie_li...@carehart.org wrote: Thanks for the update. I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll share a thought: you mention that you're load testing stuff. Is that perchance on a local development box? If so, is it perhaps some trial or lower-end version of Win2k8? I just ask because I know that in past Windows OS's, the lower-end versions did often have limits built-in, especially (as many will have noticed) the number of simultaneous IIS requests that are processed (others are queued). It may well be that there could in fact be some I/O-level restrictions on too many requests at once, which could be queued. That's a total guess and could be way off base. Also, you may well be running an Enterprise or other high-end version of Windows 2008. Just thought I'd ask, since you're raising the concern. Now, all that said, is this 150ms the sum of the delay that you've been concerned about? If so, then it would seem at least that you've found your root cause problem, right?

Thanks for the info, though it doesn't really put me much further ahead than I already was :) Yes fusion reactor is running, and I must have indeed had the coldfusion monitoring on, because when I went in to monitoring to check (after was mentioned by someone yesterday), it was turned on. I have since however turned off coldfusion monitoring, and at the end of yesterday uninstalled fusion reactor (as the license ran out, - i do have other servers with it on that I can use though). I have run subsequent thread dumps and the results are still the same (just without the calls to logging obviously) the performance of pages is still the same. As I mentioned previously Charlie, I had tried running my tests with a local copy of files on the server (to compare the difference between using the NFS and not using one), and the results were still the same - the thread dumps looked very similar. Sorry about the entire thread dump, I wasn't sure if the non running jrpp threads (or other threads) would give you any info or not :). I have indeed tried taking multiple thread dumps and comparing them, a few threads can be seen running in both, but I have not found any threads that ran stupidly long or any locking etc. What I have noticed though in most of the thread dumps (even when the same thread has been captured in two consecutive dumps) is that the thread is normally at a WinNTFileSystem call e.g. at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.getBooleanAttributes(Native Method) at java.io.File.exists(File.java:733) I'll try that trusted cache option you suggested Charlie. Thanks for the help. Regards Barry.

I offer this as much for other readers as for this particular concern of Barry's. It helps to consider that both FR and SF are just servlet wrappers, which track requests coming into and going out of CF. They really don't add much overhead at all. They also each offer the JDBC wrapper feature, which again just tracks the requests going to and coming from the DB server, again low overheard. Admittedly, they both do some logging (FR to logs using log4j, and SF to a DB), but I've never seen those features to cause any major overhead-accept for the feature in FR which can provide the line number for every SQL statement. That feature can be disabled in the FR interface for really high volume JDBC activity, like hundreds per second. But to be clear, there's also nothing in FR or SF I can think of that would impact the issue that Barry's seeing, though I can certainly appreciate why one would think well, let's at least rule things out, so I'm not arguing against that. And as for the CF Server Monitor, I'd say the same (can't see how it would relate to his particular problem), but I'll add as well that that the CF Server monitor has aspects that are always on and can't be disabled. But it does have the 3 main features that can be enabled (and therefore disabled), in start monitoring, start profiling, and start memory tracking.

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 9 and Windows server 2008 64bit
further: you say the performance of pages is still the same and the thread dumps looked very similar. So how are you measuring the performance? Is it just anecdotal (feels slow) or are you using some real measure, whether some of the stats shown in the CF Server Monitor, or (when you had FusionReactor) as what could be seen in its resource logs or System Overview page? I just ask because it may be interesting to confirm both that there's been no improvement and (possibly as useful) whether there are any particular pages or apps that are more troubled than others. I realize that may not seem likely, but this is a dilemma of looking only at thread dumps: you're only seeing what's *running at that moment*, as opposed to how things have gone in aggregate across all pages that did run (between the thread dumps). I'm just saying it could prove interesting, not that it would in your case. Moving on, rather than the NAS, I've asserted that the more interesting thing may be to see if you enabled trusted cache (since we see the stack traces showing the request doing the file system check--I pointed to some doing one method, you pointed to some doing another.) So I'm glad to hear that you will be checking that out. About that, I'll repeat, though: just turning it on may not still entirely solve the problem, if you have a problem where perhaps the template cache is not large enough for the files that are loaded, you could still have thrashing that could exhibit the same problem. Here's where the CF Server Monitor can help you. If you do enable trusted cache, and you do still see this problem occurring, then at that time, look in the CF Server Monitor at the Template Cache Status page (under StatisticsRequest Statistics) to see what the template cache hit ratio is at that time. As for FR's license running out, I assume you mean the trial period ended, right? I'll tell you, since it does such a great job to allow you to do stack traces interactively (and tell clearly when the request ends), it may be useful for you to move a license over for this testing (since you say that you have other licenses). Your call, of course. Finally, as for the CF Server Monitor, not that it's critical, but you don't clarify which of the 3 forms of CF monitoring you turned off, but I'll assume perhaps it was start monitoring (it's just that you use the term went into monitoring to check..[and]...it was turned on.) I'm just trying to get people to be more specific when they refer to the CF Server Monitor. Hope these or thoughts of others as they get going in their day there may help get you further. (I'm still not inclined to believe that this is somehow related to Windows itself, though I realize that was the first assertion made.)

It is unix based as the files are all on a network file share. Access for that is based on machine name and so the server essentially gets full access to it, but that's not to say it isn't a file permission problem. It's definitely reading and writing files from it though. On May 18, 12:23 pm, Andrew Myers am2...@gmail.com wrote: It's not a file permission issue is it?

I was using CFEclipse, but now use CFBuilder, If you don't have the money to spare to get CFBuilder, then CFEclipse is still pretty good, it has pretty much all you need to get by developing in ColdFusion. ColdFusion Builder as mentioned already has more features, is more streamlined and allows you to integrate the IDE into the server end more, better for debugging coldfusion etc (you can find what it does on Adobe's site). I'd recommend it, though it's only just come out of Beta and there will no doubt be more updates for it in the near future to further improve it.

[cfaussie] Re: Performance Tuning Again
To eliminate the possibility of any network related issues, you could simply remote in to the server itself and request a page off it (if your setup allows) and see how it goes? Also, have you set up a basic page that only outputs a hello world type message to make sure there is not something else on the page causing slowness at the client end? (If you try this, don't forget to put it in its own folder with an empty Application cfm file so you are not having any other application cfm or cfc files including stuff into your page automatically), or even just a basic .html file, does that take a long time if you request it and bypass coldfusion all together?

The debugging output shows the actual time spent executing once it gets to CF, not the time getting to and from it. While some may realize that would not include network time to and from the server, perhaps as important is that it also does NOT reflect the time spent *waiting* to execute in CF (queued) on the server. If ever there's a situation where all the simultaneous request threads are full or nearly full, then new requests may queue waiting to get a chance to run. Again, it's easy to miss that this time is NOT reflected in the debugging output (nor is it tracked in the CF Server Monitor, FusionReactor, SeeFusion, etc.) Among the easiest ways to determine if that's happening (queuing) is to watch the CFSTAT command line output (available in [cf]\bin) or getmetricdata(perf_monitor) or Windows PerfMon. Note that you do need to enable these (cfstat, perfmon) in the CF Admin, and also important: NEITHER is available for Multiserver deployments. For multiserver deployments (and indeed any CF deployment from CF 6 on) you can also see queuing if you enable JRun metrics. Finally, a little known tip is that the CF 8/9 Enterprise Multiserver monitor shows queuing in its detail view, if you mouse over the active requests column, or double-click on a monitored server to see it in the details shown at the bottom of the screen. To be clear, each of these can at least report how much queuing (if any) is happening. (Beware the avgQ time metric in CFSTAT and getmetricdata/perfmon report the average of the last two completed requests, so not always useful.)

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion JRun Max handler threads setting
Thanks Charlie, Your point about other things such as datasources creating threads is a good one, and yes our environment does generate a lot of database connections. I don't believe it's limited, and I'll find out what the timeouts etc are. We are on Coldfusion version 7.03 with JRun 4 updater 6, using JVM 1.4 (but this is all soon to be updated). I'll see if I can monitor threads, do you have any suggestions on how best to monitor threads with either FusionReactor or JRun logging? Thanks Barry. On Apr 13, 4:02 am, charlie arehart charlie_li...@carehart.org wrote: Barry, for what it's worth, I'll offer some more thoughts. You're on the right track. First, I'll concur with Kai and your observation that this is about the possibility of the heap being high, thus constraining the space left for creating stacks. As Kai noted, it's counterintuitive because we all assume outofmemory means out of heap, but it doesn't. Yours is due to running out of stack space, not heap. As such, yes, lowering the stack size can help, but as you note, if your config's default is 256k (which others should note as Kai said is dependent on jvm, os, and architecture) so you're leery of lowering it more. You can, but just watch out for errors due to stackoverflow. It's a delicate balance. You're right to focus first on just lowering the heap. Especially if you have some means to have monitored and confirmed that you're not having outofmemory errors due to running out of heap. (And you can't use as a gauge whether you've hit the heap max, as shown in some monitoring tool, because you usually will. The question is whether when the system did a GC, did it recover a lot. If so, and consistently, then you can afford to lower the heap. Just watch out for possible new oom: heap space errors.) But then there is also the matter, as you brought up originally, of lowering your thread use. As much as the max threads may seem to be the issue, it may not be. Rather, there are MANY things that create threads in a CF/JRun environment. It could be datasource connections. Do you have them limited at all? Timing out? Even then, there have been bugs where they've not timed out when they should. What CF version are you running? And what hotfixes? And are you sure you have the right ones? (It's easy to have mis-implemented 8.0 hot fixes on an 8.0.1 server, and vice versa, for instance.) You can also enabled JRun metrics to track the various thread pools, which can help identify if something is getting out of whack. You can also monitor thread use from the jrun.exe process, from the OS perspective, which can help. The good news is that this problem can be solved, generally, once you have a clearer idea of what the problem is (and is not). /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Barry Chesterman Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 12:03 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] RE: Coldfusion JRun Max handler threads setting Thanks for the replies. I will do some load tests with adjusting the queued threads setting, from what I've read, the 'unable to create new native thread' errors are related to having a large heap size (which we do) and the operating system not being able to spawn new threads (as an OS thread is spawned to keep track of each JVM thread). We previously had standard 'out of memory' errors which were in fact related to a heap size that was too small. Kai, we use JVM 1.4 at the moment, and thread stack size is by default 256KB, so I don't think i'll look at adjusting that as 256KB is supposed to be pretty low, Apparently JVM 1.5 upwards use 1MB :O! We have our max handler threads (wait queue) at 500, and our active threads at 25, I'll have a go at decreasing the heap size and max handler threads and do some load testing.

[cfaussie] Coldfusion JRun Max handler threads setting
Hi all, Can anyone provide any advice on settings for the Max handler threads? As far as I know this is just the queue that threads sit in before being moved to the 'active handler threads' pool where they are actually executed. So new requests to the web server will sit in this queue until the server is free to process it. Our server processes threads pretty fast, but we have an issue at the moment where we get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread on the odd occasion, normally when something hammers the server for a long period of time, I am going to possibly scale back the memory allocated to JRun so the operating system has more to play with, but I'm wondering if reducing the max handler threads pool will help this as well as there will be less total threads using up operating system memory? We don't actually need a large wait pool and it'd be better if requests got a server busy message rather than bloating out the available threads and thus operating system memory.

[cfaussie] Re: Slow Server Startup Time
Is there anything else running on the server, what is the CPU grunt like on the server? The best bet would be to monitor the server and see what resource usage is like on it when you start Coldfusion and then your script. Also, you could set a custom timeout value in your script with the cfsetting tag so it at least starts without timing out. What is your timeout set to? Barry.

[cfaussie] Re: CFBuilder
You can easily import projects into CF Builder (there is an import option somewhere through the right mouse menu in the project/navigator panel). I've tried the CFBuilder plugin in Eclipse and in Flash Builder (Eclipse also) In normal eclipse it didn't work at all (but I think that was to do with my eclipse version). In the Flash Builder eclilpse install it seemed slow and frequently hung for about 5 mins or so. I ended up installing a standalone CFBuilder to see how that goes instead but I've found I have to turn off all the auto building, project refreshing and on the fly error checking.

[cfaussie] Coldfusion7 to Coldfusion8, JVM config
Hi,
We are migrating from Coldfusion7 to Coldfusion8 and I wondered if
anyone was up to date on the config parameters for the JVM for
Coldfusion 8 (JRE 1.6.X) and has some recommendations.
What by the way (if somebody knows) is
Dsun.io.useCanonCaches or
DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE or
DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS
and are any of those three required for CF8?
The following is the config line we use for our Coldfusion7

-XX:MaxNewSize=256m
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE
-DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -
Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/
The following is what we have for our Coldfusion8 environment:

I wouldn't get religious when it comes to JVM config for such a move.
As the only thing you seem to have changed in the CF 7 JVM args are memory
sizes, I would for a start just go with those settings on CF 8 and see how
you go. Monitor the machine and it's memory, stats, CPU, logs, GC etc and
make changes as necessary. You have simulated the migration in the dev and

Thanks Carlie, useful info. On Feb 9, 11:54 am, charlie arehart charlie_li...@carehart.org wrote: Barry, to be clear, just upgrading to CF8 won't get you the CF Server Monitor--you do need to be using the Enterprise (or Developer) edition. As for how they compare, no one has done a close analysis (that I know of). I will say that I use both, every day, often on the same server (both my own and those of others): yes, that means that I and others run FusionReactor on CF 8/9 Enterprise/Developer servers. It may seem redundant, but it's not. For instance, FR does tremendous logging. The CF Server Monitor does none. Sometimes, you need to see details of what was happening in the past (such as before a crash, or just hours/days/months ago), and having those FR logs can be vital. They track each request, each query (if such tracking is enabled for a DSN), as well as overall stats every 5 seconds (by default) which high-level counters like number of running/completed requests, number of running/completed queries, memory use, CPU (CF and system), and more. I am also surprised to find that both the memory graph in both the CF Monitor and SeeFusion show the top of the y axis as the amount of *allocated* memory, rather than the max memory (xmx). Of course, if mxs=xmx, then it's not an issue, but for those who do run xmsxmx, the graphs in those other monitors can lead one to think memory is running out, when it's not. All that said, I'm a fan of all three monitoring tools. Each adds something that the other doesn't. My focus here was more on your specific point, about whether a CF 8/9 Enterprise server would benefit from having FR as well. And again, for sure, if you're not going to be running Enterprise, then you will want to consider either FR or SF (or both). I actually run all three (on multiple servers) and have found there to be no negative impact from them, though I realize our inclination would be that any monitoring must cause some overhead. /charlie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of BarryC Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 5:25 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] FusionReactor vs built in Coldfusion 8 monitor Hi All we are looking at getting FusionReactor, but will be upgrading from Coldfusion 7 to Coldfusion 8 in several months.

Add something like this to your JVM args: -verbose:gc -Xloggc:mylogfile.log -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps Note, there are a lot more attributes that control the logging, just depends on what you want and need.

Awesome, thanks Charlie, I did not remember reading that (or I read it in a rush) :). Barry. On Feb 2, 4:36 pm, charlie arehart charlie_li...@carehart.org wrote: Yes, Barry. That's what I was referring to late last week: On the matter of FR's CP, let's clarify that there are two uses of the CP feature. The first is just to notify you when conditions exceed the limits you mention (like a request taking more than x seconds, more than x requests running at once, less than x% memory available). If you just have it notifying you by email, that can be very helpful. Indeed, I often recommend it. ... What I really like about the notifications (any of these create) is that they include additional detail like what requests are running at the time, how long, etc. and they include a thread dump: a list of all running requests and a stack trace of each, which helps you see down to the line of code what the request is doing. Again, once you've been shown how to understand those, it can be so valuable to solving problems. I'll be talking about how to get and analyze stack traces for CF requests (with both built-in and third-party tools) as my talk at cf.Objective() in April. Until then, a google search will turn up many discussions of how to get and use stack traces in CF. So yes, you can get thread dumps from FR on an automated basis. As you note, it's really vital for being able to solve problems when you're not there. And as I noted in that same message, what FR call's Crash Protection, the CF 8/9 Monitor calls Alerts, and it too can send you an email with the thread dump (in what it calls a snapshot). /charlie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of BarryC Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 7:16 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] Coldfusion, Taking a thread dump when response times increase?

[cfaussie] Re: CF7 (and 8) High CPU usage on production box
If you're stumped for optimisation of a long running task, then having a scheduled task is a great idea, but even when the scheduled task runs, unless it's optimised it could still cause a performance hit. An idea might be to put a 'thread wait ()' in your loop to allow other things to run otherwise it will try and run the loop as quickly as possible. Coldfusion 8 has a built in tag for that, for Coldfusion 7 or earlier you need to call the a java thread function which is straight forward but you need to google to see how to do it. Depending on your environment, any heavy tasks are always worth shifting off your production environment onto a separate one (and push the result to production). Not always feasible tho :) Barry On Feb 2, 4:26 pm, charlie arehart charlie_li...@carehart.org wrote: Andrew, does that fair bit of nested cflooping show a CFQUERY buried within that loop? Where it's taking data from the one query and using it to do another? If so, that's a classic case where perhaps a join would solve the problem. CFML developers often fall into a trap of having CF do work that the DB should be doing. If the code you're wrangling with is doing the above, it may be good value to evaluate the prospects of doing a join (whether a traditional inner one, or the less well known outer-which is another reason some drop to doing nested CFQUERYs if they don't understand it). Also, as for your comments on caching and batch execution, those are all worthy of consideration, sure, as long as you can manage it to be accurately based on potential underlying data, as you say you are considering. There are still other forms of caching, both built into CF and available programmatically based on external libraries, that may be worth considering if you don't solve the problem though optimization. /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Myers Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 8:45 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Re: CF7 (and 8) High CPU usage on production box Update: This page generates a report from a query that itself takes about 29 seconds (and I am not sure I can do a lot to improve that without getting some cooperation from the guys who write the product I query out of, and that isn't likely to happen quickly). I've been caching the page with a roll your own custom tag. The tag checks a timestamp on the database and forces a regeneration whenever it is necessary (it will change no more frequently than every 15 mins).

FR reports a heavy ColdFusion hit on the CPU of my laptop when I run this page and nothing else at all is happening. Some thoughts: I can try and generate these reports via a batch job and only make them available to the user once they're finalised. This might stop requests queuing while the page generates? The fact that it seems to chew CPU even when it's running in isolation seems to tell me it could be a waste of time though. Which leads me to the next thought - does CF loop just really suck?

[cfaussie] Re: CF7 (and 8) High CPU usage on production box
There are many ways to go about finding what's going on in Coldfusion. Elaborating on what Kai was mentioning about metrics/garbage collection/memory.. Have you had a look in the logs from the JVM and ColdFusion to see if there are any error messages that might be related? The first thing you could do is turn on logging of long running requests (somewhere in coldfusion administrator) That might give you some clues as to what pages could be causing more load / cpu usage. Enable logging of metrics to see if you may have too many active handler threads (concurrent running processes of requests), you may need to configure some settings to optimise these values. The second thing you could do is do some thread dumps (you can do this either with a utility - there is one called StackTrace' or you can do it manually from a command prompt after you manually start coldfusion) Do several heap dumps every 10 seconds and see if there are common functions or pages coming up in the thread dump (the things that need more processing should come up more frequently in those logs). Thread dumps are generally used if you find you are getting bottlenecks in your application and you need to find what parts of your app could be doing the bottlenecking. So if you aren't getting long running pages then you may not need to do this. If you think it's memory related (and if you are getting tight on memory for your application, that will cause more 'Major' garbage collection events using more CPU) then you can enable garbage collection logging, a free analyzer tool called GCViewer http://www.tagtraum.com/gcviewer.html lets you get a graphical view of what's going on as a memory overview. If it looks like you have a memory problem, then you can generate heap dumps and use something like the Eclipse memory analyzer plugin (MAT) to view the heap dump log. Google will tell you how to generate heap dumps. An awesome profiling tool that I found very useful was Oracle's Jrockit Mission Control (used to be owned by BEA or something arather). It's free for development and you can do profiling with that and see pretty much everything that's going on in coldfusion. You do have to update your config file to point to that though, and it could be slightly dodgy running it in a production environment, it's more something you use in a development environment. There's a lot to learn when it comes to the under the hood performance and memory stuff but it's quite interesting and very good to know as a developer how all that stuff works.

[cfaussie] Re: Session timeout errors.
I'm not sure what web server software you are running on, but if it's IIS, could it be the session time in that? (not that I've had any issues with IIS session times) Also, just on the off chance, you haven't put the timeout numbers in the wrong boxes, or the wrong values in the session input boxes in the coldfusion administrator have you? (just in case you haven't already double checked) On Dec 9, 2:03 pm, Gavin Baumanis b...@palcare.com.au wrote: i Everyone, Just thought I would check if anyone had any ideas abut a problem we're having. We have a CF7 application that has a session timeout of 1 hour. CF Admin has a session timeout of 4 hours and an application timeout of 2 days. It is standard install / non clustered. We have a check at the beginning of every template for a known session variable - and if it is not there we throw a custom error message. The issue is, that a few of our customers have reported that they are getting the session timeout custom error well inside the 1 hour (expected) limit. (some have said that it happens within 15 minutes) So I just thought I would check if anyone has any ideas on things we might check? We have checked the CF logs and they seem unremarkable. Our clients do not use proxy servers or load balancers - so that would seem to rule out non-session aware network appliances. As always, please contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

Make sure you specify the scope (not sure if it will help, but it
might)
e.g. request.myStruct

Hi Chong,
I'd ckeck for null by using IsDefined and dot notation. While the key

Something like;
cfif IsDefined('myStruct') and IsDefined('myStruct.myKey')
cfset myValue = myStruct[myKey]
/cfif
Or cfscript eqivalent ;)
Seems like overkill, but it might help reveal what's missing.

Dodump() is just a regular cffunction which passes the args to

Any thoughts?

[cfaussie] Calculate variable size in bytes
Hi, Does anybody know if there is a way in coldfusion (or the underlying java language) to calculate the size of a variable in bytes? I want to calculate the size of a struct in bytes, but I cannot find a way to calculate it and there doesn't look to be any function that does it?

[cfaussie] Re: Persistent Scopes and Memory
Just in case anyone is interested, Today I did a test to answer my original question; Does data in the application and server scopes get stored in the tenured generation memory, or the permanent generation memory? I found that Application, Session and Server scopes all stored their 'data' in the Tenured generation space. The permanent generation is in fact used just for information about the data, 'classes' etc. Our site is in fact very large (university website) with lots of different classes, and our permanent generation was only using about 50 meg of the 250 meg allocated for it.

oh, so that actually lets you see scopes like server, session, application to see what overall size they have, and sizes of things within them?

[cfaussie] Re: Problems with webservice
Care to post the actual web service function you are actually calling?
Normally that error means that the function you are calling does not
have its 'access' set to remote (in the case of coldfusion anyway),
or that function does not have those parameters available that you
passed to it.

You could just store a value in a persistent scope such as the application scope. When your ZIP thread completes, have it write a value to the application scope (such as a date/time stamp).

[cfaussie] Coldfusion and JRun server loads
Hi, I'm not sure what most people have as a Coldfusion configuration, but we run Coldfusion on windows servers using JRun4, we use IIS as the web server and Jrun4 is set up as a connector. I'm currently load testing and trying different values for the maximum simultaneous threads, thread pool size, backlog size and timeouts. I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience configuring these values or knows enough about them to share some advice on them. Here are some values I have at the moment (these aren't the same as what we are using in our production environment). activeHandlerThreads 60 backlog 500 maxHandlerThreads 500 minHandlerThreads 1 timeout 60 threadwaittimeout 60 What I'm trying to do is get a good balance for normal server use, and also have the server not get bogged down and fall over if it gets flooded with too many requests at one time (we do have a proxy server in front preventing DOS attacks etc, but of course it doesn't prevent legitimate cases of high usage) I've seen around the net that Linux recommends about 200 to 400ish maxHandlerThreads but windows servers can have 1000 to 3000 (which seems odd, because I'm not convinced that windows could schedule that many threads) Any ideas / thoughts?
