[SOLVED] After editing and saving the previous report still runs
This happens sometimes and today is a Sunday when I'd rather be doing something else ...

I edit a FEX, click the Save icon and then the Run button. It chugs away and then presents me with results from a different that FEX I was editing previously (currently saved and closed).

Any ideas ??

Could it be a cache issue ?

I'm sure it is some sort of cache issue. However I discovered that the server, which is running on a virtual machine, was 6 minutes behind the current time and I suspect that may be the culprit.

Resetting the time initially ddn't work - it just reverted back to the 6 minute delay. Neither did restarting the host server (which shows the correct time). Eventually I found a workaround to set the time on the virtual machine independently and introduced that last night. Subsequently 10 ReportCaster jobs failed this morning, so I've restarted WF again.

I'll be testing this situation in the coming couple of days to see if it has settled down.
