Page Timeout issues??

check your application.cfm ApplicationtTimeOut value...if you don't have one set it


                                                                                                         vOne day time out
<CFAPPLICATION NAME="MyApp" applicationtimeout="#createtimespan(1, 0, 0, 0)#" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes" sessionTimeout="#createtimespan(1, 0, 0, 0)#" clientmanagement="yes" clientstorage="cookie">

doh...

that didn't format correctly

="#createtimespan(1, 0, 0, 0)#"  where (1,0,0,0) = (Day, Hour, Min, Sec) so 1 is one day

You could try <cfsetting requesttimeout="80000"> in the calling page itself, if your not using session variables or application variables in your page then the above has nothing to do with it.

Remember if you set the timeout to 60 its one minute.

To my opinion your doing something that ColdFusion should not be doing, CF should never run this long to process something.

Another option you might try is to split the processing up, for example the first query retrieves all the work that needs to be done, and it then only generates the first 10 PDFs and so on...

SidFishes, i tried your suggestion and still get the following

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

while it may not be the best use of CF it is doing exactly what we need except the page times out, the cfx tag it calls contiues to run in the background until it is done, the page just gives that error after 1 hour. i even appended requestTimeOut=50000 to the url and it didnt work, maybe it is an iis setting or a setting somewhere else.

Do you get this immediately, this error? Or after a while?

If you get it immediately then it has nothign to do with a timeout.

It occurs exactly 1Hour after the page begins to load

Did you untick "Show friendly error messages" in your browser?

no, i have a javascript in there tellinig me the start time of the app and the current time that is how i know it is exactly 1 hour, if i trim down the query then it runs fine and shows the html it should show when it is done, but when it runs over an hour i get the message

i found my answer...http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q181/0/50.asp&NoWebContent=1

"By design, Internet Explorer imposes a time-out limit for the server to return data. The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. As a result, Internet Explorer does not wait endlessly for the server to come back with data when the server has a problem. "

thanks anyway

Hi jduawa,

There is a way around this.

Every so often do a <CFFLUSH> this will flush some output back to the browser, i've had this problem, and don't the flush fixed it for me.

i tried that already...but thanks....

Is there any way that you can break up the process into smaller peices? You said that cfx tag or whatever is using Oracle to create the pdfs, so my assumption is that it is returning more than 1 'groups' of records. Can you limit the number of records that are processed by cfx_tag ?





 

Yes you can limit the query so it does not run for as long, but the idea was to run it and let it run, then when it is done use the PDF's the way we need to...

refund points, i fgured it out myself
thanks
