It depends on your app and how many specific features of CF 5 it uses. To get it somehow to work in CF 9 won't be too hard. Typical gotchas such as un-var'ed CFC function variables etc shouldn't occur as CF 5 didn't have anything of that. Where I would expect issue are areas of -

There is the Code Analyzer tool that is in the CF Admin. While not perfect, it can help with a few of the issues as well. Mark On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 4:03 PM, Kai Koenig k...@koeni.de wrote: It depends on your app and how many specific features of CF 5 it uses. To get it somehow to work in

I am wondering if the safest option for the smoothest migration be to migrate the server from cf5 to cf6 then to cf7 and then migrate from cf7 to cf9 yes, but if it was a critical application, spending time on comming up with a comprehensive test plan and re-running it at each stage might be

I'd second that. Jump right in and see how well it's working, don't sweat the small stuff. Adobe seem to make a point of maintaining some level of backward compatibility. On 13/09/2010, at 4:39 PM, Dale Fraser d...@fraser.id.au wrote: I’d jump straight to CF9 I don’t see any issues that

When I did so on the test server none of the odbc connections transferred across from cf5 to cf9 non of the only some of the cftags came across and those that did they did not work as cf9 appears to place the cf tags related files in a totally different directory path to cf5. Hence my thought of

Well - you probably would have to manually recreate the datasources. Copying custom tags across by hand can't be that bad either. Have a look at what the custom tag paths are and how they're stored. You _will_ have to look into a bunch of issues. Cheers Kai When I did so on the test server
