Last updated 2/21/2012
Note: To edit any settings, first refresh them to fetch the latest setting and then edit them. The options for editing the
configuration settings are the same as in ColdFusion Administrator.
Clear template cache
Using Server Manager you can clear the template cache for multiple servers simultaneously. To clear the template
cache:
1 Select the servers by selecting the Apply server task and settings check box.
2 Click the Server Tasks option from the upper-right corner.
3 Click Clear Template Cache.
A progress bar at the bottom displays the cache clearing status.
After the task is completed, you can save the cache log by clicking the Save Snapshot icon or remove it by clicking
Remove.
Apply hot fix
You can update multiple ColdFusion Server instances, once they are registered with Server Manager.
Note: After applying a hotfix, restart the server for the hotfix to take effect.
To apply a hot fix to multiple servers:
1 Select the servers instances that need to be updated by selecting the Apply server task and settings check box.
2 From the upper-right menu bar, click Server Tasks > Apply Hot Fix.
3 Click Yes to confirm.
4 Navigate to the location of the JAR file to be used as a hot fix.
5 Click Open to apply the hot fix to the server instances.
Once you apply a hot fix (.jar) to a server instance, that JAR file appears in the <ColdFusion_home>/lib/updates
directory.
Note: This is useful only if the hotfix is a JAR file. Place this JAR file under <CF_Home/lib/updates> directory. If you
place a hotfix file to any other location, then you have to implement it manually.
Set Server Manager preferences
To set the Server Manager preferences, click Settings > Preferences. You can set the following preferences in Server
Manager:
• Polling Interval: Use this option to set the interval (in seconds) for Server Manager to check for any alerts and
warnings on ColdFusion server. In addition, if the status of your server instance on Server Manager is
“Unreachable”, then Server Manager tries to reconnect to the server after the specified polling interval.
