DataMgr is a Data Access Layer component set. More than anything else, DataMgr is meant to manage CRUD (that is, Create Read Update Delete). Everything else that it does is an extension of this.

JavaLoader is a library that has been built to ease the use, development and integration of Java within ColdFusion applications. Found via stackoverflow - Using Coldfusion to Programmatically Access the Google Voice Java API

Excessive GC Time and OutOfMemoryError
“The parallel collector will throw an OutOfMemoryError if too much time is being spent in garbage collection: if more than 98% of the total time is spent in garbage collection and less than 2% of the heap is recovered, an OutOfMemoryError will be thrown. This feature is designed to prevent applications from running for an extended period of time while making little or no progress because the heap is too small. If necessary, this feature can be disabled by adding the option -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit to the command line.”

Possible cause
The tracing files for one or both services weren't removed the last time (because of service crash?).

Solution

1. Go to the correct directory. For a multiserver installation with JRun4 on D:\ the correct directory is:
   
   • D:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\db\slserver54\tracing
2. Delete one or both of the following files, depending on if one or both services won't start:
   • ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent.trc
   • ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server.trc
3. Start the ColdFusion ODBC service(s).

New trc files will be created in the tracing directory.
