Importing ColdFusion .car files into Lucee 5

What’s the most efficient way to import Adobe ColdFusion 9 Settings like
Server settings, Scheduled Tasks, DSN’s, Mappings, etc. into Lucee 5? I was
hoping for compatibility with a .car file (ColdFusion Archive), but haven’t
found anything of that nature in the docs or Google for that matter. Does
Lucee do that? If not, hasn’t anyone ever suggested such a thing? That
seems like 101 for switching CFML apps from Adobe ColdFusion to Lucee.

CAR files have a weird format, but it can be done. Those settings are also stored in the various neo-*.XML files in cfusion/lib. ACF when installing new versions will actually detect older versions installed and will try to migrate settings automatically. Perhaps the same could be done for Lucee.

In any case, that’s a really great idea.

It appears the new, modern way to configure the Administrator, at least in
Lucee 5, is with the Administrator.cfc.On Friday, April 29, 2016 at 5:19:00 PM UTC-5, Jim Pickering wrote:
