Hi,

Currently We are using the Functionally Stabilized Bean API to connect to WebFocus Reportcaster 532. But we are not able to use the same code to connect to WebFocus Reportcaster 716. Do we need to pass on some extra credentials to connect to WebFocus 716? Has anyone migrated the self service apps from WebFocus 532 to 716. I guess they should also have faced some issues.All our servers are running in SUN OS
Thanks,

I don't recall having any issues with the old API against 71x. What errors are you getting? Is there any exceptions in the app server log?

I just used the same code and replaced the distribution server name and port number in the setagentProperty of DSTAuthenticate bean.
I am getting "Unable to Communicate to Distribution Server.Make sure the Distribution Server is started". But my Distribution server is running fine.What changes should i make to the existing code? I am using the same way as mentioned in the " Functionally Stabilized Bean API" manual.

Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Shyam,

The Functionally Stabilized Bean API was an API created for version 5x. For version 7x, it is recommended to use the new ReportCaster API. To find more, the following document on ReportCaster API may be of interest:

Introducing the ReportCaster API

Hope this helps.

In that case i should not be getting "Unable to communicate error". The API is trying to connect to the server but some information is missing. If we pass that information, it should be able to connect.

This error is corrected for us.We had to use the correct DSTRCServlet.jar file.

If we use the DSTRCServlet.jar file from a version and try to connect to another version, we will get this error.
