Bug tracking app using Oracle as a backend

I currently work for a school system that is in need of a bug tracking application as backend. Cost is a factor, as this is a school system, something with educational pricing or open source would be preferred. Does anyone know of any offhand? Bob Everland

What kind of bugs are you planning to track? Just CF errors? I haven't used any third party apps for it but <cferror> in the application.cfm file and a couple queries would do the job (if it is indeed just CF errors that you're looking to track down and log). .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I need to track enhancements for applications, bugs, issues graphic designers need to take care of on the website. Also issues with some of our other software applications such as Peoplesoft. We use cferror to catch the common errors so we can put out any fires before they become raging infernos. Bob Everland

Gotcha... sorry, I haven't used anything like that web based. I'm sure someone has though. But... my college had plenty of computer courses and needed plenty of software so they had an agreement with Microsoft to use basically any and all of their software (not the MAPS) which included  (I think its called) "Project Manager". It may or may not have everything you're looking for though... just a thought. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Anything Microsft related will need to use SQL Server. We have a copy of that running, but not enterprise edition and the memory is pretty maxed at the moment. Our Oracle server on the other hand is under special pricing for educational use and we have some monster hardware under that. I'm not a big fan of Oracle, but they really know how to lock a school system into using the, and no one else. Bob

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have written my own Bug Tracking Application for the CFMX Applications which I have written for Schools. I am not sure if the applications will run under Oracle as the Backend as we do not have license for it. All of my applications use Apache and MySQL. I am also in Education and have quite a few applications tailored to education. Robert Everland III wrote: >Anything Microsft related will need to use SQL Server.

Forgot one more requirement. It has to run on ColdFusion 6.1 or .NET, sorry. I would definitely use Lighthouse if not for the CFMX 7 requirement. Bob Everland

Check lighthouse again.  I think Ray may have got rid of the flash forms which I think were the primary reason it had to run on 7.0 Mark Fuqua Forgot one more requirement.

Yeah, seems like he mentioned that recently. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

That's awesome, I've been out because the school system gets a ridiculous amount of time off for the holidays. So now my question is, has anyone started on getting this application to work in CFMX 6.1 and Oracle? If not I'd be happy to start. If you're on here Ray let me know, I also sent you an email off the list. Bob Everland

Heya Robert. So while Lighthouse Pro does not use Flash Forms anymore, it is still CFMX7 only. It uses Application.cfc and isValid(). However - you could replace that in about 20 minutes probably. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

That's what I'm thinking Ray. I will be working on this tomorrow. I will keep you apprised of my progress. I'm really glad you took out the flash forms, that was going to take too much time for me to replace. Once I'm done I will have Lighthouse working on CFMX 6.1 and Oracle. I will try to keep as much as the code as I can so that you can offer one download for both versions, if it's possible. I'll let you know more once I dive in tomorrow. Bob Everland

I have an older version of lighthouse that was cfmx compatible. I don't think this was a paid version, since we never had a DRK license. This one doesn't use a database - it's all xml on the back end. Would you like it? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

That's "Lighthouse", the older simpler version  of "Lighthouse Pro". One nice thing about the simpler version is that it takes abour 1 minute to set up. It doesn't have security, but is "drop and run" pretty much. You can still download that from my site as well. > I have an older version of lighthouse that was cfmx compatible.
