Cheers Ginny, ive raised it as a new case and will let you know the outcome.

Never had this problem either.
I always launch RCaster from DevStudio's Document-with-Clock Icon (must be in Managed Reporting in an environment's MR tree to activate the icon). The click opens a browser window with RCaster already logged into; just as if I used the browser interface without DevStudio.

Further details:
I don't ever use RCaster, or anything else, on Local Host; This is RCaster on a network server.
My RCaster credentials are stated in the Properties window of the WebFOCUS Environment.
Because RCaster is in a browser window, I can actually kill DS without harming the RCaster connection.
I have 4 DevStudio environments defined and all work the same, even simultaneously; which is helpful when maintaining reports scheduled on multiple servers around the world.

it looks like its been a problem since 762;

Ginny (or anyone on 762) do you suffer from the same dev studio explorer issues i do? with it taking a long time to do simple things like change domain or create a blank fex? it may be that both this and the RC error are related to something that was changed for the 762 and subsequent releases.

I hate to repeat myself, but I will anyway , but I don't get the explorer problems you mention and I've only seen the dropped authentication occasionally, but then I am using DS 7.1.6 against a 7.6.4 set-up.

Repeat away, Tony, I have 7.6 most current DS and go against 7.6.4 on Linux and Windows and have it happen just about any time I want to do more than one thing in RC. For example, I go into RC to change a job, save it and then try to do another one and boom authentication error. Must be some magic thing some are missing.

Yes, nubi, it is very slow to open the application list in Data Servers and to create new fexes. I have been attributing the slowness to the fact that we have over 500 directories and thousands of focexecs, but maybe that is not the case.

In another post, it was indicated that 765 will be out momentarily and we intend to put it on. I am hoping that a number of issues will be resolved.

Hi Ginny,

I don't think its the size as i get the issue in every domain, any folder whatever the contents, ive been trying out note pad ++ which has an explorer and its rapid, plus my colleagues on 761 don't have the same issue.

But the helpdesk have passed on the RC error to the coders so hopefully we should get a resolution.

cheers
