76 Chapter 5 Basic ColdFusion Server Administration
Memory Variables
You 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 Server. 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 timeout values for session and application
variables. Unless you define a timeout value in Application.cfm, application
variables expire when you restart ColdFusion Server. Session variables expire when
user sessions end. To change these behaviors, enter default and maximum timeout
values.
Note
Timeout values that you specify for application variables override the timeout values
set in Application.cfm.
