ReportCaster

The following are release considerations and product changes for ReportCaster:

• The Google Library Search has been desupported. The Magnify replacement is not yet available.
• The Address Book member type for Distribution Lists has been changed from character to string to prevent Axis SOAP exceptions. A ReportCaster API application that creates a Distribution List may be affected by this change and may need to be changed or recompiled.

• In past releases, the WebFOCUS Client Universal Profile was executed by ReportCaster when a WebFOCUS Repository procedure was run, but not when a WebFOCUS Reporting Server procedure was run.

  As of Release 8.2 Version 01M, the Universal Profile now works with both procedures.

• As of Release 8.2 Version 01M, FLEX, VISDIS, and VISDISAE report output formats are no longer supported. If you are editing a task that uses one of these formats within a schedule, you can change the output format in the dialog box that opens.

  • If you click OK, and the output format of the report is set to FLEX, the task output is saved as AHTML.
  • If you click OK, and the output format of the report is set to VISDIS or VISDISAE, the task output is saved as HTML.
  • if you click Exit, the output format will not be changed, and any changes that you made to the task will not be saved.
