Memory Variables

You use the Memory Variables page of the ColdFusion Administrator to enable application and session variables server-wide. By default, application and session variables are enabled when you install ColdFusion Server. If you disable either type of variable in the Memory Variables page, you cannot use them in a ColdFusion application.

You can specify maximum and default timeout values for session and application variables. Unless you define a timeout value in Application.cfm, application variables expire when you restart ColdFusion Server. Session variables expire when user sessions end. To change these behaviors, enter default and maximum timeout values.

Note

Timeout values that you specify for application variables override the timeout values set in Application.cfm.
