Server Settings section

The Server Settings section lets you manage client and memory variables, mappings, charting, and archiving. It also allows you to configure e-mail and Java settings.

Settings page

The Settings page of the ColdFusion Administrator contains configuration options that you can set or enable to manage ColdFusion. These options can significantly affect server performance. The following table describes the options:

Option	Description
Timeout Requests After (Seconds)	Prevents unusually lengthy requests from using up server resources. Enter a limit to the time that ColdFusion waits before terminating a request. Requests that take longer than the time-out period are terminated.
Enable Per App Settings	Lets developers programmatically define ColdFusion settings such as mappings and debugging per application.
Use UUID For cftoken	Specify whether to use a universally unique identifier (UUID), rather than a random number, for a cftoken.
Enable HTTP Status Codes	Configures ColdFusion to set a status code of 500 Internal Server Error for an unhandled error. Disable this option to configure ColdFusion to set a status code of 200 OK for everything, including unhandled errors.
Enable Whitespace Management	Compresses repeating sequences of spaces, tabs, and carriage returns and linefeeds. Compressing whitespace can significantly compact the output of a ColdFusion page. This option is enabled, by default.
Disable CFC Type Check	Turns off verifying the CFC type when calling methods with CFCs as arguments. This option also disables verifying an object that implements the right interface. Enabling this option can improve the performance of your application. However enable it only on a production server.
Disable Access To Internal ColdFusion Java Components	Prevents CFML code from accessing and creating Java objects that are part of the internal ColdFusion implementation. This prevents a non-authenticated CFML template from reading or modifying administration and configuration information for this server.
Prefix serialized JSON with	Protects web services, which return JSON data from cross-site scripting attacks by prefixing serialized JSON strings with a custom prefix.
Enable In-Memory File System	Enables the in-memory virtual file system support. By default, this is enabled.
Memory Limit for In-Memory Virtual File System	Lets you specify the memory limit in Megabytes (MB) for in-memory virtual file system.
Watch Configuration Files For Changes (Check Every n Seconds)	Sets ColdFusion to monitor its configuration files and automatically reload them if they change. This action is required if you deploy ColdFusion in a WebSphere ND vertical cluster, because multiple instances of ColdFusion share the same configuration files. It is recommended that you do not enable this feature for most installations.
Enable Global Script Protection	Protects Form, URL, CGI, and Cookie scope variables from cross-site scripting attacks. Select this option if your application does not contain this type of protection logic.
Allow Extra Attributes in AttributeCollection	Specify whether ColdFusion tags can pass non-standard attributes in the attributecollection structure.
Clear temporary files created during CFaaS after	Specify the time in minutes after which the temporary files created during CF as a Service(CFaaS) operation must be deleted. The default value is 30 minutes.
ORM Search Index Directory	Specify the index directory (the one in which all persistent entities, of an application's indexable data, are saved) either at the server-level or application-level.
Default ScriptSrc Directory	Specify the default path (relative to the web root) to the directory that contains the cfform.js file. Developers reference this file in the ScriptSrc attribute of the `cfform` tag. In a hosted environment, you might need to move the cfform.js file to a directory other than CFIDE.
Google Map API Key	Specify the Google Map API license key that you require to access Google Maps.
Component with onServerStart() method	Specify the absolute path to a CFC having onServerStart() method or specify a dot delimited CFC path under web root, like "a.b.server". By default, ColdFusion looks for server.cfc under web root.
Application.cfc/Application.cfm lookup order	Select the order in which ColdFusion searches for Application.cfm or Application.cfc if it is not found in the current project folder. You can set ColdFusion to search as follows: default search order: ColdFusion looks for an Application.cfc/Application.cfm file from the current folder until the system root directory. On Windows, this could be C:\ and on UNIX, /opt. till web root: ColdFusion looks for an Application.cfc/Application.cfm file from the current folder till web root. in web root: ColdFusion looks for an Application.cfc/Application.cfm file in the current folder or web root.
Missing Template Handler	Specify a page to execute when ColdFusion cannot find a requested page. This specification is relative to the web root. Note: If the user is running Microsoft Internet Explorer with "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" enabled, Internet Explorer displays this page only if it contains more than 512 bytes.
Site-Wide Error Handler	Specify a page to execute when ColdFusion encounters an error while processing a request. This specification is relative to the web root. When you define a site-wide error handler or missing template handler, ColdFusion does not log page-not-found errors and exceptions. Note: If the user is running Internet Explorer with Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages enabled, Internet Explorer only displays this page if it contains more than 512 bytes.
Maximum Size Of Post Data	Limits the amount of data that can be posted to the server in a single request. ColdFusion rejects single requests larger than the specified limit.
RequeSt Throttle Threshold	Requests smaller than the specified limit are not queued or counted as part of the total memory. Requests larger than the specified limit are counted as part of total memory and are queued if the request throttle-memory size is exceeded.
Request Throttle Memory	Limits total memory size for the throttle. If sufficient total memory is not available, ColdFusion queues requests until enough memory is free.

Request tuning

Simultaneous request tuning overview

You can specify the number of simultaneous requests that can be processed for each of the following types of requests:

CFM page requests
CFC method invocations (via an HTTP GET)
Flash Remoting requests
Web Service requests

The settings are contained completely within ColdFusion code and work across all J2EE application servers. You do not have to restart the ColdFusion server for changes to the configuration to take effect. JSP processing is not affected by these changes.

Note: Note: The Flash Remoting request control setting applies to remoting that uses ActionScript 2.0 and ActionScript 3.0, with each type treated independently. For example, a setting of 5 means that up to 5 ActionScript 2.0 Flash Remoting and 5 ActionScript 3.0. Flash Remoting requests are allowed simultaneously.

Capabilities by edition

You can create multiple instances and clusters, provided you have an Enterprise or Developer license.

Request Tuning page

The Request Tuning page of the Administrator contains configuration options that you use to specify the number of different types of requests and threads that ColdFusion can handle simultaneously.

Option	Description
Maximum Number Of Simultaneous Template Requests	The number of CFML page requests that can be processed concurrently. Use this setting to increase overall system performance for heavy-load applications. Requests beyond the specified limit are queued.
Maximum Number Of Simultaneous Flash Remoting Requests	The number of Adobe Flash® Remoting requests that can be processed concurrently.
Maximum Number Of Simultaneous Web Service Requests	The number of Web Service requests that can be processed concurrently.
Maximum Number Of Simultaneous CFC Function Requests	The number of ColdFusion Component methods that can be processed concurrently through HTTP. This does not affect starting CFC methods from CFML, only methods requested through an HTTP request.
Maximum Number Of Simultaneous Report Threads	The maximum number of ColdFusion reports that can be processed concurrently.
Maximum Number Of Threads Available For CFTHREAD	CFTHREAD that runs concurrently. Threads that CFTHREAD creates in excess of the specified limit are queued.
Timeout Requests Waiting In Queue After n Seconds	If a request has waited in queue beyond the specified limit, time out the request. This value must be at least as long as the Request Timeout setting (currently 60 seconds).
Request Queue Timeout Page	Specify a relative path to an HTML page to send to clients when a template requests time out before getting a chance to run. For example "/CFIDE/timeout.html.” This page cannot contain CFML. If a page is not specified, clients receive a 500 Request Timeout error when their request does not get a chance to run.

Caching page

The Caching page of the Administrator contains configuration options that you can set or enable to cache templates, queries, and data sources. These options can significantly affect server performance. The following table describes the settings:

Option	Description
Maximum Number Of Cached Templates	Enter a value that specifies the number of templates that ColdFusion caches. For best application performance, set this option to a value that is large enough to contain the commonly accessed ColdFusion pages, yet small enough to avoid excessive reloading. You can experiment with a range of values on your development server; a suitable starting point is one page per MB of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) size.
Trusted Cache	Use cached templates without checking whether they changed. For sites that are not updated frequently, using this option minimizes file system overhead.
Cache Template in Request	When checked, any requested files are inspected only once for potential updates within a request. If unchecked, requested file are inspected for changes each and every time when it is accessed within the same request. For application where templates/components are not expected to reflect updates within the same request, this minimizes file system overhead. This setting does not require restarting the server.
Component cache	When checked, component path resolution is cached and not resolved again. This setting does not require restarting the server.
Save Class Files	Saves to disk the class files that the ColdFusion bytecode compiler generates. During the development phase, it is typically faster if you disable this option.
Cache Web Server Paths	Caches ColdFusion page paths for a single server. Clear this option if ColdFusion connects to a web server with multiple websites or multiple virtual websites.
Maximum Number Of Cached Queries	Enter a value to limit the maximum number of cached queries that the server maintains. Cached queries allow retrieval of result sets from memory rather than through a database transaction. Because queries reside in memory, and query result set sizes differ, provide a limit for the number of cached queries. You enable cached queries with the `cachedwithin` or `cachedafter` attributes of the `cfquery` tag. When the maximum number of cached queries is reached, the oldest query is dropped from the cache and replaced with the specified query. If you set the maximum number of cached queries to 0, query caching is unlimited.
Use Internal Cache to Store Queries	When you select this option, at server level, internal cache is used to store cached queries. By default, cached queries are stored in QUERY region supported by Ehcache.
Clear Template Cache Now	Empties the template cache. ColdFusion reloads templates into memory the next time they are requested and recompiles them if they have been modified.
Clear Template Cache of Specific Folder	In the previous releases, you have the option only to clear the trusted cache, which clears the entire system cache. Now you can limit the clearing to folder level using this option.
Clear Component Cache Now	Empties the component cache. ColdFusion ignores the resolved path for components and try resolution again.
Clear Query Cache Now	Removes the query cache in the server.

Client Variables page

Client variables let you store user information and preferences between sessions. Using information from client variables, you can customize page content for individual users.

You enable client variable default settings in ColdFusion on the Client Variables page of the Administrator. ColdFusion lets you store client variables in the following ways:

In database tables

Note: If your data source uses one of the JDBC drivers bundled with ColdFusion 10, ColdFusion can automatically create the necessary tables. If your data source uses the ODBC Socket or a third-party JDBC driver, you manually create the necessary CDATA and CGLOBAL database tables.
As cookies in the web browsers
In the operating system registry

Important: Adobe recommends that you do not store client variables in the registry because it can critically degrade performance of the server. If you use the registry to store client variables, you allocate sufficient memory and disk space.

To override settings specified in the Client Variables page, use the Application.cfc file or the cfapplication tag. For more information, see the Developing ColdFusion Applications.

Store client variables in a data source

On the Client Variables page, in the Select Data Source to Add as Client Store table, select a data source from the drop-down.
Click Add. The Add/Edit Client Store page for the data source appears.

Select options for the data source, as described in the following table. (To exit from the page without saving changes, click the left-arrow icon.)

Option	Description
Description	A description of the client data store and its settings. Not displayed for Registry.
Create Client database tables	If ColdFusion can determine that the database you use supports SQL creation of database tables, this option appears, and you do not need to create the client variable tables before they are used. In this case, the Create Client Database Tables option appears on the Add/Edit Client Store page; if you select this option, ColdFusion creates the necessary tables in the database. If the database does not support SQL table creation, if the database already has the required tables, or if you are using the Registry, this option does not appear.
Purge data for clients that remain unvisited for [n] days	Typically, client data is saved for a limited time. To delete (purge) client data that has not been accessed in a specified number of days, select this option and enter a value for the number of days. If a cluster of ColdFusion servers uses this data source, ensure that only one server is configured to purge client data.
Disable global client variable updates	By default, ColdFusion updates client variables for every page request. To prevent ColdFusion from updating variables, select this option. If updates are disabled, ColdFusion updates global client variables only when they are first created and when they are updated. This helps improve application performance.

C lick Submit Changes. The Client Variables page appears, with your data source in the list.
In the Select Default Storage Mechanism for Client Sessions table, select the data source.
Click Apply.

Store client variables in a cookie or in the system registry

In the Client Variables page, select Cookie or Registry.
Click Apply.

Client variable storage options

Storage type	Advantages	Disadvantages
Data source	Can use existing data source Portable: not tied to the host system or operating system	Requires database transaction to read/write variables More complex to implement
Browser cookies	Simple implementation Good performance Can be set to expire automatically Client-side control	Users can configure browsers to disallow cookies Cookie data is limited to 4-KB Netscape Navigator allows only 20 cookies from one host; ColdFusion uses three cookies to store read-only data, leaving only 17 cookies available
System registry	Simple implementation Good performance Registry can be exported easily to other systems Server-side control	Possible restriction of the registry’s maximum size limit in Windows in the Control Panel Integrated with the host system: not practical for clustered servers Not available for UNIX Applicable only for Windows

Migrating client variable data

To migrate your client variable data to another data source, determine the structure of the database tables that store this information. Client variables stored externally use two simple database tables, as shown in the following tables:

CDATA Table
Column	Data type
cfid	CHAR(64), TEXT, VARCHAR, or equivalent
app	CHAR(64), TEXT, VARCHAR, or equivalent
data	MEMO, LONGTEXT, LONG VARCHAR, or equivalent

CGLOBAL Table
Column	Data type
cfid	CHAR(64), TEXT, VARCHAR, or equivalent
data	MEMO, LONGTEXT, LONG VARCHAR, or equivalent
lvisit	TIMESTAMP, DATETIME, DATE, or equivalent

Creating client variable tables

Use the following sample ColdFusion page as a model for creating client variable database tables in your own database. However, keep in mind that not all databases support the same column data type names. For the proper data type, see your database documentation.

Note: The ColdFusion Administrator can create client variable tables for data sources that use one of the bundled JDBC drivers. For more information, see the Online Help.

Sample table creation page

<!---- Create the Client variable storage tables in a datasource.  
This example applies to Microsoft Access databases. ---> 
 
<cfquery name="data1" datasource="#DSN#"> 
CREATE TABLE CDATA 
( 
cfid char(20), 
app char(64), 
data memo 
) 
</cfquery> 
 
<cfquery name="data2" datasource="#DSN#">  
    CREATE UNIQUE INDEX id1  
    ON CDATA (cfid,app) 
</cfquery> 
     
<cfquery name="global1" datasource="#DSN#"> 
CREATE TABLE CGLOBAL 
( 
cfid char(20), 
data memo, 
    lvisit date 
) 
</cfquery> 
 
<cfquery name="global2" datasource="#DSN#">  
    CREATE INDEX id2  
    ON CGLOBAL (cfid) 
</cfquery> 
 
<cfquery name="global2" datasource="#DSN#">  
    CREATE INDEX id3  
    ON CGLOBAL (lvisit) 
</cfquery>

Memory Variables page

Use the Memory Variables page of the ColdFusion Administrator to enable application and session variables server-wide. By default, application and session variables are enabled when you install ColdFusion. If you disable either type of variable in the Memory Variables page, you cannot use them in a ColdFusion application.

You can specify maximum and default time-out values for session and application variables. Unless you define a time-out value in an Application.cfc or Application.cfm file, application variables expire in two days. Session variables expire when user sessions end. To change these behaviors, enter new default and maximum time-out values on the Memory Variables page of the Administrator.

Note: Time-out values that you specify for application variables override the time-out values set in the Application.cfc or Application.cfm file.

You can also specify whether to use J2EE session variables. When you enable the J2EE session variables, ColdFusion creates an identifier for each session and does not use the CFToken or CFID cookie value. For more information, see the Developing ColdFusion Applications.

Note: When using J2EE sessions, ensure that the session time out, specified in the WEB‑INF/web.xml session-timeout element, is longer than the session time out specified in the ColdFusion Administrator, and longer than any sessiontimeout attribute specified in a cfapplication tag.

Mappings page

Use the Mappings page of the ColdFusion Administrator to add, update, and delete logical aliases for paths to directories on your server. ColdFusion mappings apply only to pages that ColdFusion processes with the cfinclude and cfmodule tags. If you save CFML pages outside the web_root directory (or whatever directory is mapped to "/"), you add a mapping to the location of those files on your server.

Assume that the "/" mapping on your server points to C:\coldfusion9\wwwroot, but that all of your ColdFusion header pages reside in C:\2002\newpages\headers. Add a mapping in the ColdFusion Administrator that points to C:\2002\newpages\headers, for ColdFusion to find the header pages. For example, add a mapping for /headers that points to C:\2002\newpages\headers. In the ColdFusion pages located in C:\coldfusion9\wwwroot, you reference these header pages using /headers in your cfinclude and cfmodule tags.

Note: ColdFusion mappings are different from web server virtual directories. For information on creating a virtual directory to access a given directory using a URL in your web browser, consult your web server documentation.

Mail page

Use the Mail page of the ColdFusion Administrator to specify a mail server to send automated e-mail messages. ColdFusion supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for sending e-mail messages and the Post Office Protocol (POP) for retrieving e-mail messages from your mail server. To use e-mail messaging in your ColdFusion applications, you must have access to an SMTP server and a POP account.

The ColdFusion Enterprise Edition supports mail-server failover, as well as additional mail delivery options.

The ColdFusion implementation of SMTP mail uses a spooled architecture. This means that when a cfmail tag is processed in an application page, the messages generated might not be sent immediately. If ColdFusion has a large queue, delivery could occur after some delay.

Note: For more information about the cfmail tag, see Sending SMTP e-mail with the cfmail tag in Sending and Receiving E-Mail in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.

Mail Server Settings area

The following table describes basic mail server settings:

Option	Description
Mail Server	Enter a valid mail server for sending dynamic SMTP mail messages in the text box. You can enter an Internet address, such as mail.company.com, or the IP address of the mail server, such as 127.0.0.1.
Username	Enter the user name for the mail server, if necessary.
Password	Enter the password for the mail server, if necessary.
Sign	Select this check box to configure ColdFusion to digitally sign your mails.
Keystore	Location of the Keystore containing the private key and certificate. The supported type is JKS (java key store) and pkcs12.
Keystore Password	Keystore password.
KeyAlias	Alias of the key with which the certificate and private key is stored in Keystore. If it is not specified then the first entry in the Keystore is be picked up.
KeyPassword	Password with which the private key is stored. If it is not specified, KeystorePassword is used as KeyPassword.
Verify Mail Server Connection	Verifies that ColdFusion can connect to your specified mail server after you submit this form. Even if you do not use this option, send a test message to verify that your mail server connection works.
Server Port	Enter the number of the port on which the mail server is running. Contact your server administrator if you are unsure of the appropriate port number.
Backup Mail Servers (Enterprise Edition only)	Enter zero or more backup servers for sending SMTP mail messages. You can enter an Internet address, such as mail.company.com, or the IP address of the mail server, such as 127.0.0.1. Separate multiple servers with a comma. If the mail server requires authentication, prepend the mail server with the user name and password, as follows: username:password@mailserveraddress To use a port number other than the default (25), specify mailserveraddress:portnumber
Maintain Connection To Mail Server (Enterprise Edition only)	Keeps mail server connections open after sending a mail message. Enabling this option can enhance performance when delivering multiple messages.
Connection Timeout (seconds)	Enter the number of seconds that ColdFusion should wait for a response from the mail server before timing out.
Enable SSL Socket Connections To Mail Server	Enables SSL encryption on the connections to the mail server.
Enable TLS Connection To Mail Server	Enables Transport Level Security (TLS) on the connection to the mail server.

Mail Spool Settings area

The following table describes mail server spool settings:

Option	Description
Spool Interval (Seconds)	Enter the interval, in seconds, at which you want the mail server to process spooled mail.
Mail Delivery Threads (Enterprise Edition only)	Enter the maximum number of simultaneous threads used to deliver spooled mail.
Spool Mail Messages For Delivery To (Memory spooling available for Enterprise Edition only)	Routes outgoing mail messages to the mail spooler. If you disable this option, ColdFusion delivers outgoing mail messages immediately. In ColdFusion Enterprise Edition, you can spool messages to disk (slower, but messages persist across shutdowns) or to memory (faster, but messages do not persist). You can override this setting in the `cfmail` tag.
Maximum Number Of Messages Spooled To Memory (Enterprise Edition only)	Enter the maximum number of messages that spool to memory before switching to disk spooling.
View Undelivered Mail	Click to view undelivered mails.

Mail Logging Settings area

Select preferences for handling mail logs, as described in the following table:

Option	Description
Error Log Severity	From the drop-down list object, select the type of SMTP-related error message to write to a log file. The options are the following: Debug (contains Information, Warning, and Error) Information (contains Warning and Error) Warning (contains Error) Error
Log All Mail Messages Sent By ColdFusion	Saves to a log file the To, From, and Subject fields of all e-mail messages.

ColdFusion writes sent-mail and mail-error logs to the following directories:

\coldfusion9\logs (Windows server configuration)
/opt/coldfusion9/log (Solaris and Linux server configuration)
cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/logs (multiserver and J2EE configurations, all platforms)

The following table describes the e-mail log files:

Log	Description
mailsent.log	Records sent e-mail messages.
mail.log	Records general e-mail errors.

Mail Character Set Settings area

Select preferences for the default mail character set, as described in the following table:

Option	Description
Default CFMail CharSet	From the drop-down list object, select the default character set that the `cfmail` tag uses. The default value is UTF-8. If most of your e-mail clients use a specific character set, you can use this setting to switch to that locale-specific character set. For example, Japanese mail is typically sent using the ISO-2022-JP character set.

Scheduled Tasks

The Scheduling facility in ColdFusion Administrator lest you schedule the execution of local and remote web pages, to generate static HTML pages, send mail with the cfmail tag, update database tables, index collections, delete temporary files, and any other batch-style processing. The scheduling facility is useful for applications that do not require user interactions or customized output. ColdFusion developers use this facility to schedule daily sales reports, corporate directories, statistical reports, and so on.

Information that is read more often than written is a good candidate for scheduled tasks. Instead of executing a query to a database every time the page is requested, ColdFusion renders the static page with information that the scheduled event generates. Response time is faster because no database transaction takes place.

You can run scheduled tasks once; on a specified date; or at a specified time, daily, weekly, or monthly; daily; at a specified interval; or between specified dates.

When a scheduled page executes, ColdFusion writes a message to a log file called schedule.log automatically. This file identifies the name of the scheduled action, the page to be executed, and whether the task scheduled executed successfully.You can pause and resume scheduled tasks.

Scheduled Task page

The Scheduled Task page lets you create, edit, pause, resume, and delete scheduled tasks. This page has the following areas:

Area	Description
Schedule New Tasks	Click to add new scheduled task.
Actions	Click the icons to run, pause, edit or remove the schedule task.
Task Name	Identifies the names of the existing tasks scheduled to run.
Duration	Identifies the duration of the task to run.
Interval	Identifies how often this task runs. The values for this column can be Once, Daily, or DailyEvery.

Application Level Scheduled Tasks: Provides a list of application-specific tasks that you have scheduled, with task details in tabular format.

The table provides details such as actions, application name, group, task name, duration, interval, last run, next run, repeat count, and if cluster is enabled.

Note: Application-specific tasks cannot be created using ColdFusion Administrator. But you can pause, resume, or delete the tasks.
Server Level Scheduled Tasks: Provides a list of server-specific tasks that you have scheduled, with task details in tabular format.

The table provides new details such as group, next run, repeat count, if cluster is enabled, and the remaining task count.
Enable Cluster Setup: Applies if you have at least one data source configured. Specify the following details:
- Select Data source: All the data sources you have connected to are listed.
- Create Tables for Cluster Setup: Check to create scheduler-specific tables for cluster.
  
  Note: Enable this option only for one node in the cluster. Otherwise, the tables are overridden. If you have created tables from one node, in other nodes you need to only select and choose the data source. All nodes will point to the same data source and therefore will be part of the cluster.
- After you specify the details, click Submit.
To disable cluster, select the option Disable Cluster.

Add/Edit Scheduled Task page

Add/Edit Scheduled Task page lets you add or edit task. Click Submit after you specify the following tasks. When the page loads for the first time, you are provided with only minimum options to create the task. Click Show Additional tasks to list all settings.

Option	Description
Task Name	Enter a name for the task in the Task Name text box.
Duration	Enter the start and end dates for the task. The end date is optional. If you want this task to execute continuously, leave the End Date text box blank.
Frequency	Select the schedule for running this task: One-time Schedules the task to run once on the start date and scheduled time specified. Specify the date and time. The task must be set at least 15 minutes in the future in order for the task to execute successfully Recurring Schedules the task to run daily, weekly, or monthly at the specified time. Daily every Schedules the task to repeat during a day. Specify Start Time and End Time to designate when the task begins and ends. Specify Hours, Minutes, Seconds to set an interval after which the task repeats.
URL	Enter the URL for the ColdFusion page that you want to execute. You can execute a local page or a page on a remote ColdFusion Server, assuming that you have the proper access rights.
Username	(Optional) Specify a user name only if the page you want to execute is in a secure location.
Password	(Optional) Specify a password only if the page you want to execute is in a secure location.
Timeout	(Optional) Specify a timeout setting. This helps prevent requests from stalling due to an overloaded web server, a network problem, or a page that takes too long to execute.
Proxy Server: Port	(Optional) If this request must be routed through a proxy server, enter the URL and Port number of that proxy server.
Publish; File	(Optional) To publish an output file of this task, select the Save Output to a File option and then, in the File text box, enter the full path and filename of the output file.

Priority	An integer that indicates the priority of the task.
Retry Count	The number of reattempts if the task results in an error.
Cluster	Enable to execute tasks in cluster setup.

WebSocket page

Use the ColdFusion Administrator (Server Settings > WebSocket) to specify the following WebSocket-related details:

Option	Description
Port	Port that the WebSocket server listens to.
Socket Timeout	Socket timeout
Max Data Size	Data size of packets sent/received.
Start Flash Policy Server	Start Flash cross-domain Policy Server on port 843. This is required for Flash fallback if there is no native WebSocket support at the client side.

Charting page

The ColdFusion charting and graphing server lets you produce highly customizable business graphics, in various formats, using the cfquery tag. Use the Charting page in the Administrator to control characteristics of the server.

The following table describes the caching and thread settings for the ColdFusion charting and graphing server:

Option	Description
Cache Type	Set the cache type. Charts can be cached either in memory or to disk. Memory caching is faster, but more memory intensive.
Maximum Number Of Cached Images	Specify the maximum number of charts to store in the cache. After the cache is full, if you generate a new chart, ColdFusion discards the oldest chart in the cache.
Max Number Of Charting Threads	Specify the maximum number of chart requests that can be processed concurrently. The minimum number is 1 and the maximum is 5. (Higher numbers are more memory-intensive.)
Disk Cache Location	When caching to disk, specify the directory in which to store the generated charts.

Font Management page

The Font Management page lets you review and define fonts for use with Adobe® FlashPaper™ and Acrobat® PDF output formats. ColdFusion generates FlashPaper and PDF output through the cfdocument tag and through the cfreport tag, when used to call a report created with the ColdFusion Report Builder.

ColdFusion automatically registers Acrobat built-in fonts and fonts located in typical font locations (such as the Windows\fonts directory). However, if your server has additional fonts installed in nonstandard locations, you register them with the ColdFusion Administrator so that the cfdocument and cfreport tags can locate and render PDF and FlashPaper reports.

This page contains the following topics:

Register New Font with ColdFusion

Lets you browse to a directory that contains fonts, or select a specific font.

User Defined Fonts

Displays the fonts that have been registered explicitly.

Current System Fonts

Displays fonts stored in platform-specific system font directories.

The following table describes the fields on the Font Management page:

Area	Description
New Font/Font Directory	Specifies a fully qualified path to a directory that contains font files or to a specific font file. The ColdFusion Administrator lets you register the following types of font formats: TTF: TrueType font. TTC: Collection of TrueType or OpenType fonts. OTF: OpenType font. PFB: (Adobe printer fonts). AFM: Adobe Font Metrics.
Font Family	High-level font name (for example, Arial or Times New Roman).
Font Face	A specific font face (for example, Arial Italic or Times New Roman Bold).
PostScript Name	Specifies the PostScript name of the font.
Font Type	Specifies the font type (for example, TrueType or Adobe Built-In)
Usable In	Specifies whether the font is usable in PDF, FlashPaper, or both formats. Note that Adobe built-in fonts are not usable in FlashPaper output format.
Path	Fully qualified path to the font file.

The Font Management page also displays the built-in Acrobat fonts, which are available for PDF only.

ColdFusion can create documents and reports in both PDF and FlashPaper format. Both of these formats require that the server computer have access to the fonts used in the HTML styles (cfdocument tag) or the report definition (ColdFusion Report Builder). ColdFusion requires access to these fonts to properly render text in PDF and FlashPaper documents and, when specified, to embed fonts into a PDF file.

Types of fonts and font extensions

The ColdFusion Administrator lets you register the following types of fonts:

Type	File extension	Description	Usable in
True Type	TTF	Scaleable font format developed by Apple Computer and supported in all Macintosh and Windows operating systems.	PDF and FlashPaper
True Type Collection	TTC	A file that contains multiple TrueType or OpenType fonts	PDF and FlashPaper
Open Type	OTF	An extension of the TrueType font format.	PDF and FlashPaper
Adobe printer font	PFB	Adobe printer font	PDF only
Adobe Font Metrics	AFM	A font format that contains general font information and font metrics information. Typically used on Unix only.	PDF only

The Font Management page also displays the built-in Acrobat fonts, which are available for PDF only.ColdFusion does not use PFM or FFT fonts.

Font locations

The ColdFusion Administrator automatically displays the fonts discovered in platform-specific default locations, as follows:

Windows - The Windows/Fonts directory (for example, WINDOWS/Fonts or WINNT/Fonts)
Unix - The following directories:
- /usr/X/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
- /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
- /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

Additionally, you can define fonts stored in other locations on the server. These are called user-defined fonts. For example, you may want to register the Lucida family of TrueType fonts, which the Sun JDK ships in the jdk_root/jre/lib/fonts directory.

Embedding fonts in PDF output

Report developers can optionally specify that ColdFusion embed fonts in the PDF file (FlashPaper always embeds fonts). When using the cfdocument tag, fonts are embedded if fontEmbed is set to yes or selective. When using reports defined in the Report Builder, fonts are embedded if specified in the report definition file.

Embedding fonts increases file size, but ensures that reports display appropriately regardless of whether or not client computers have the fonts installed.

Note: Some font licenses prohibit embedding. ColdFusion does not embed fonts marked as not-for-embedding.

Client requirements

If fonts are not embedded in the PDF file, fonts must be installed on the client computer to ensure that reports display appropriately.

Most Windows computers ship with Internet Explorer, which includes the Microsoft Core Fonts, a set of TrueType fonts.

UNIX considerations

If you install ColdFusion on a UNIX computer you must ensure that the appropriate fonts are installed, even if the computer provides console access only.For more information on TrueType fonts for UNIX, see http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/.

ColdFusion Report Builder considerations

The ColdFusion Report Builder has no automatic knowledge of fonts available on the server so the developer building the report definition must consult the ColdFusion MX Administrator to determine which fonts are available on the server and, if necessary, register fonts in the Administrator or install fonts on the computer that runs Report Builder.

Document page

The Document page allows you to configure OpenOffice application. If you did not configure during installation, provide the directory path to configure OpenOffice.

Depending on whether your ColdFusion server is installed on a local or remote server, you can configure OpenOffice with your ColdFusion server instance.

For more information about configuring OpenOffice with ColdFusion, see Configuring OpenOffice in Installing ColdFusion.

Java and JVM page

Note: This page does not apply when deploying ColdFusion on a J2EE server.

The Java and JVM page lets you specify the following settings, which enable ColdFusion to work with Java:

Option	Description
Java Virtual Machine Path	The absolute file path to the location of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) root directory. The default is cf_root/runtime/jre.
Minimum JVM Heap Size	The JVM initial heap size.
Maximum JVM Heap Size	The JVM maximum heap size. The default value is 512 MB.
ColdFusion Class Path	The file paths to the directories that contain the JAR files that ColdFusion uses. Specify either the fully qualified name of a directory that contains your JAR files or a fully qualified JAR filename. Use a comma to separate multiple entries.
JVM Arguments	The arguments to the JVM. Use a space to separate multiple entries (for example, -Xint -Xincgc).

Note: You must restart ColdFusion after making changes.

When you update the Java and JVM Settings page, ColdFusion writes the changes to jvm.config, which is located in cf_root\runtime\bin. Before ColdFusion saves your changes, it saves a copy of the current jvm.config file as jvm.bak. If your changes prevent ColdFusion from restarting, use jvm.bak to restore your system. For example, rename jvm.config to jvm.config_BAD, and then rename jvm.bak to jvm.config.

ColdFusion filters out default settings for the jvm.args attribute from the jvm.config file, including the following:

aArgs[i] contains '-Xmx' 
aArgs[i] contains '-Xms' 
aArgs[i] contains "-Djava.security.manager" 
aArgs[i] contains "-Djava.security.policy" 
aArgs[i] contains "-Djava.security.auth.policy" 
aArgs[i] contains '-Djava.awt.graphicsenv' 
aArgs[i] contains '-Djava.awt.headless' 
aArgs[i] contains '-Dcoldfusion.classPath' 
aArgs[i] contains '-Dcoldfusion.rootDir' 
aArgs[i] contains '-Dcoldfusion.libPath' 
aArgs[i] contains '{application.home}/lib/webchartsJava2D.jar'

To use Server Monitor or Multiserver Monitor on a J2EE deployment of ColdFusion on Oracle 10g, in JVM Arguments set -Doc4j.jmx.security.proxy.off=true

Settings Summary page

The Settings Summary page shows all ColdFusion configuration settings. Click a group name to open the Administrator section of that group, where you can edit settings. This page is not enabled in the Standard Edition.

In ColdFusion, you can export the server settings to PDF by clicking the Save As PDF button on this page.
