After the task is completed, you can save the cache log by clicking the Save Snapshot icon or remove it by clicking

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.
•
Stop batch operations on error: This check box is selected by default. If you deselect this check box, Server Manager
continues to perform the batch operations even if an error occurs. Batch operations include tasks such as applying
hot fix, clearing template cache, fetching settings from server, or applying settings from one server to multiple
servers.
•
Alert window position: Use this drop-down list to select the position where the notifications and alerts would be
displayed in Server Manager.
•
Close the dialog box after receiving a server acknowledgment: Select this option to close any edited server
configuration dialog box only after receiving the acknowledgment.
•
Show batch progress: This option is selected by default. If you do not want to see the progress of the batch
operations at the bottom of the Server Manager window, then deselect this option.
•
Use inbuilt browser: By selecting this check box, you can open any server URL in the internal browser or the default
browser in system.
Monitor multiple servers
Server Manager provides different views to monitor servers that you register with the application. To toggle between
these views, click the required view icon from the upper-right corner.
