Unable to re-install ColdFusion Builder 2.0.1

April 29, 2013 / Krishna Reddy

  Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2.0.1 | CFBuilder | General

In the following case it is possible to occur.

If you have deleted CFB 2/2.0.1 plugins installation directory manually without uninstalling using uninstaller,  you may not be able to install next time unless you have cleaned-up the old stuff lying in your Mac OS X machine.

Only if that is the case please do the following (otherwise it is never ever recommended to do this ) :

Take a backup and delete the file: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Uninstall/{b8c666c3-1efd-11b2-bf3c-e04be4b2b610}.db

Try installing now. You would be able to install now.

ColdFusion Builder 2 Silent Installation

June 12, 2012 / Krishna Reddy

  Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2.0 | Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2.0.1 | CFBuilder | ColdFusion

ColdFusion Builder can be installed from command prompt  silently without any user interactions.This helps in automating the installation in your organization and improves productivity.                                                

More details can also be found at: ColdFusion Builder 2 Silent Installation Details

How does it work?

All the inputs that are required during installation are pre-filled into a properties file and is provided as input to the installer which takes the values from that.

When would you need this silent installer? 
1. When you have so many machines to install with ColdFusion Builder and you want to automate it.
This will help reduce the effort that you will have to put in.
2.Silent installation takes only half of the time that is originally required for UI installation.
3.You can just start it and no user interactions are needed during installation.

On what platforms it can be done?
Silent installation as of now is supported only for Windows and not for Mac.

Which versions of ColdFusion Builder does it apply?
This applies to both ColdFusion Builder 2 and ColdFusion Builder 2 Update 1.
 
How to perform silent installation?
Silent installation steps are:
1.Place installer in a directory (Say file name is ColdFusionBuilder_2_WWEJ_win.exe)
2.Create a properties file in the same dir.You can name it like cfb2silentinstall.properties 
Open the file and put the following key value pairs in it.If you want different path for installation you can change it. Directory need not be present already but the drive(C Drive) has to be already there. Installer will behave weirdly if the drive is not there.

For Standalone Installation, properties file should be put with following key-value pairs:
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
SILENT_INSTALLER_TYPE=standalone
SILENT_INSTALL_FOLDER=C:\\AdobeColdFusionBuilder2

For Plugin Installation, properties file should be put with following key-value pairs:
INSTALLER_UI=SILENT
SILENT_INSTALLER_TYPE=plugin
ECLIPSE_PATH=C:\\Softwares\eclipse
SILENT_INSTALL_FOLDER=C:\\AdobeColdFusionBuilder2Plugins

Note: Please make sure to change the eclipse path with the one that you have on your machine.

3. Open the command prompt (with Run as Administrator privileges on Windows Vista/Win 7 platforms) and navigate to the directory containing Installer file and properties file. Invoke the installer from the command as
 >ColdFusionBuilder_2_WWEJ_win.exe -f cfb2silentinstall.properties
If you want to run it from command prompt with any root path you have to give full path of the installer and properties file. For Example,
 >C:\download\ColdFusionBuilder_2_WWEJ_win.exe -f  C:\download\cfb2silentinstall.properties
4.After invoking from the command, if you check in the task managers processes there should be a ColdFusionBuilder_2_WWEJ_win.exe install process running in the background.

5.Depending on the processor you have, it may take 3 to 6 minutes to install. You can know the installation completion by the presence of  Adobe-ColdFusion_Builder_2*.log file under the installation directory or you can also know it by checking processes in the taskmanager. 

Note: Licensing the product is not part of this silent installation. You have to provide the license key while launching the product.

CFB Extension for Server Stats using WebSocket

March 05, 2012 / Ram Kulkarni

  CFBuilder | ColdFusion | WebSocket

The new WebSocket feature in ColdFusion 10 is useful in many scenarios. One such usecase is pushing server statistics to client applications.

This ColdFusion Builder extension  uses WebSocket feature of ColdFusion 10 to display two server stats - heap and CPU usage. It uses point-to-point (instead of publish-subscribe) mode of WebSocket communication. Once websocket is opened (using cfwebsocket tag), it invokes a method on CFC, that starts a thread and pushes server data to the client every 5 seconds using WebSocket API, wsSendMessage.

The client plots this data as graphs and updates them whenever new data is avilable from the CFC (which is every 5 seconds). It (client) keeps buffer of 200 readings and when it exceeds this limit, it compacts the array by merging some of the earlier readings. Here is a screen shot of this extension -

Screenshot - Server Stats Extension

Hovering mouse over the graph shows stats at that time. Note that this data is interpolated from nearby values. The CPU usage graph could be little misleading. It might appear that server is using CPU cycles all the time. But, since the CFC that sends this stats also run on the same server, some CPU cycles would be used by the script. And the graph is plotted by filling the area between current and previous readings. However this graph could be useful in observing change in CPU usage over a period of time.

Non-extension version of this tool is also available. Download this file, unzip it in the wwwroot and run index.cfm.
