How does one redeploy the reportcaster web application? Our repository database was moved from one server to another. I have made that change and bounced the Distribution Server. I cannot find anything in the documentation that states how to redeploy the reportcaster web app. We are running WF 7.1.4 on Windows. Thanks in advance.

I don't think the web app needs to be redeployed.

You have modified your data adapter connection settings in the WebFOCUS Server Console?

You should probably recreate your metadata as well.

I changed the database information in the ReportCaster Server Configuration section. When I saved my changes a message popped up that I also needed to bounce the distribution server and redeploy the reportcaster web application. I have tried to run a reportcaster job and it's not working.

Typically, all you need to do is bounce the Distro server and Application server rather than "redeploy". Just make sure Distro is back up before restarting the App server.

There are server application servers.

WebSphere - Drop and redeploy the web app.
Tomcat - Stop & Restart it or if know you might be able to reload the webapplication.
IIS & ServletExec - Restart IIS Admin Service.

Hope this helps.
