We upgraded our Coldfusion 11 instance to version 16 (11,0,16,313933) and now all the scheduled tasks seems to have disappeared.
A quick google search doesn't seem to give any clues. I have had a look in the update log and there is nothing which suggests any issue.
Could someone please advise?

Recover a backup copy of and manually edit a backup copy of the neo-crons.xml. Add the below to each job and then replace the wiped out copy with this one and restart the services.

I tried installing a new version, however that also takes me the components update route.
The component update route seems to be forever "creating update staging area"
i just waited and it took ~15 minutes. maybe take a break and come back. good luck.
If you run 'gcloud components update' while any of files is in use,
update would not be finished and gcloud would never end the update.
make sure you don't have more windows open.
Try to turn off the docker off for the duration of the update.
I'm planning a migration on a server from ColdFusion MX7 (Server 2003) to ColdFusion 11(Server 2012). There is a Other Server Where I need to migrate from ColdFusion 8 (Server 2008) to ColdFusion 11. Does my System effect in any way when upgrading like tags, or compatibility issues. Does anyone know which steps I should without effecting. I know about the code analyzer that we had in Cf administrator. I want to know if there is anything effected seriously when migrating.
Thanks in Advance

The Code Analyzer helps in migrating your applications to ColdFusion 11 from earlier versions of ColdFusion. However, it checks the same for only two versions back. The Code Analyzer reviews the CFML pages that you specify and informs you of any potential compatibility issues. It detects unsupported and deprecated CFML features, and outlines the required implementation changes that ensure a smooth migration.
As far as the code compatibility is concerned, everything "should" work. However, it is recommended to check the code compatibility and deprecated tags (if any). You can refer to https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/Deprecated+Features & https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/Deprecated+tags,+attributes,+and+values.
I have briefly covered the entire Migration process here. So, will not iterate the same. Also, you can have a look at another helpful article for Migration Tweaks.
Having said that all, it's strongly recommended to test your website on the Testing/Development environment, before moving it on Production.
Hope this gives a better picture of the migration process.
I did the migration in the past, did not face important issue, as everyone have a different system the best solution would
- Backup
- Test the upgrade and see
if it's a production machine, you can copy your machine to a vm and test the upgrade there. it's may be a lot of work, but you can not know if you don't test
I am currently moving a ColdFusion 9 site to Coldfusion 11 and the way I tested it was to create a separate set of folders on the ms2013 server. I ran them side by side with a duplicate database with a different name for the test site.
I have moved sites up from 5 to 9 with few issues and the only one that really got me in ColdFusion 11 is dbtype in database functions. It has not only been depreciated but will always throw an error if found.
It also depends on how Coldfusion 11 will react to cfcs and other special tags if you use them. I don't so it was a snap.
Examples:
mydatabase
mydatabase1
mypagesfolder
mypagesfolder1
index.cfm
index1.cfm
Going live was a snap. I just renamed the folders, links*, dsn and renamed index1.cfm to index.cfm.
*Links only need to be changed if posting outside of folder and if so just the path.
Recently Sitecore 8 has released and it has came up with lot of exciting new features. So our team decided to move from Sitecore 6.6 to Sitecore 8. Before migrating, i would like to know what all things i should be having in handy. Such as, .net Framework, Hardware configuration, environment etc.
Also, i would like to know the procedure to migrate from 6.6 to 8? I, never involved in sitecore migration project before. Please suggest me some good articles or post here your thoughts.
Thanks in advance. :)
See the Sitecore Compatibility Table for the .NET Framework, SQL Server version and Windows version.
Two common approaches.
1) Follow the Sitecore upgrade path.
2) Package the content, and start with a clean install.
Currently I working on a upgrade with an scripted upgrade that follow the Sitecore path. So I can easy repeat the steps and have the latest content in the databases.
I have some of my findings put down here Sitecore update and modules this article contain also a Related links section. Such as the upgrade white paper from Varun
Depending on how 'cluttered' your existing instance is, you may also want to consider installing a fresh copy of Sitecore 8 and then migrate your data/code to avoid all the hops that would be necessary to get to 8.
May be the following blog might help. Take a look at it.
https://varunvns.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/sitecore-version-upgrade-whitepaper/
I would recommend you make a backup of your site to use as a "sandbox" for the upgrade. Copy your databases and the web root for your site to a new location and then set up an IIS site with appropriate permissions pointing to your copy, and change your connection strings in the copy to point to a copy of the databases you backed up.
Perform the update there and ensure everything is working correctly. Work slowly to make sure you are following instructions correctly and note any special actions you had to take to perform the upgrade. Once you have it upgraded, perform the same process on the "real" site.
If you work with a Sitecore partner, I would highly encourage you to discuss the process with them to learn more specifics about the risks and challenges you may encounter during your upgrade.
Publish error | smart publish or Republish - publish everything is stuck in initializing and does not finish
We have upgraded sitecore application from 6.2 to 7.1 recently. We are facing a critical issue when we try to publish the created items in the upgraded application where Smart Publish or Republish-Everything stuck in "Initializing" stage and will never finishes.
We have removed the staging module which was performing the media publish from CM to CD and implemented the scalability setting by enabling the scalabiltysettings.config and configuring the webdeploy.config with proper folder and permissions set. No issue with user permission and folder settings observed.
Sitecore version 7.1 13090
Sitecore\Admin and client specific accoungs with Admin role
Please let us know what is causing the issue. Also, revert back if you need more info.
This normally happens when your History table is excessively large. Try cleaning it out (under most circumstances it's completely safe to do so) and see if your publish starts picking up quickly.
If you are in an environment with many item changes, you might also oconsider decreasing the default 30 day lifetime of History table entries.
<Engines.HistoryEngine.Storage>
<obj type="Sitecore.Data.$(database).$(database)HistoryStorage, Sitecore.Kernel">
<param connectionStringName="$(id)" />
<EntryLifeTime>30.00:00:00</EntryLifeTime>

After upgrading and migrating from ColdFusion 9 to 10, all of our scheduled tasks are gone. In the logs, there are "Advance Scheduling support is not available in this edition of ColdFusion server" errors. I know this is a known issue that was fixed in the first update. At this point, ColdFusion 10 is on update 10 (which docs says is cumulative so should include update 1), and documentation says to first install the mandatory update then update 10. We did this before migrating, however our scheduled tasks still do not appear in the CF admin console. In other threads on the subject, I've read that we may need to add the "html" extension to the new neo-cron.xml (we have tasks that create static output), but that doesn't seem to be directly correlated to the issue of not seeing our scheduled tasks at all. Any ideas? We're running CF on Windows Server 2003 (SP2)/IIS 6.
Even if CF doesn't recognize our tasks, is there a way to take our neo-cron.xml from CF 9 and import it into 10 to recreate our tasks?
I believe in CF10, tasks require an onComplete.
So after the tag
<struct type='coldfusion.scheduling.ScheduleTagData'>
add the line below for each task
<var name='oncomplete'><string></string></var>
