Webinar / Meetups and Workshops

The Online ColdFusion Meetup - "Using Adobe's CFSetup tool: manage CFAdmin settings for ANY version", C Arehart
Thursday, September 29, 2022 at 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PDT
You may (or may not) have heard that CF2021 added (in 2020) a new command-line tool called CFSetup--but first, did you know that it could be used with ANY CF version, not just CF2021? And perhaps you heard its main value is to export/import CF Admin settings via JSON: it can indeed do that, and while that may excite some, others may yawn if they've "seen that elsewhere". (To be clear, it can export/import either ALL settings or selected ones.)
