To verify a ColdFusion data source: |
You see a list of all the ColdFusion data sources on the server.
The word "Verified" appears next to each data source that ColdFusion successfully verified and the word "Failed" appears next to each data source that ColdFusion could not verify.
ColdFusion displays a message that tells you whether or not the data source was successfully verified.
Note | If ColdFusion is unable to verify a data source, you might find it useful to run a CFQUERY against the failed data source to get more detailed information about the problem. |
