I am in the midst of upgrading to WF 7.6.11.

Is there anyone out there who is using the ReportCaster ScheduleService web service? Our synonyms -- such as run.mas, addschedule.mas, and updateschedule.mas -- are out of date and causing errors.

The synonym creation utility in the rpt server console created new synonyms that were unuseable.

If you are running WF 7.6.9 or higher and are successfully using run.mas for ScheduleService could you share?

They are not Report Caster synonyms.
Or have I missed something.

Caster tables all start BOT

Just to clarify.

They are the synonyms for the functions of the ScheduleService web service to allow me to create and maintain RC schedules via a web services data adapter.

Not to be confused with BOTSCHED, BOTCAT, etc.

Hello Mark,
I wrote a WebFOCUS Newsletter article explaining that you cannot just take a ReportCaster Web Service WSDL file and use Create Synonym against it. You have to follow the article to modify the WSDL file before you can do a Create Synonym. The reason for this is that ReportCaster Web Services uses abstract types that our Web Services Adapter does not support. We don't support it because ReportCaster Web Services is the only Web Service that we have come across that uses abstract types.

The article can be found at:
http://www.informationbuilders...r/8-4/08_litwin.html

In the next WebFOCUS Newsletter, I wrote a followup article on Scheduling A ReportCaster job through a WebFOCUS Report.
It seems that this methodology has become very popular.

To answer JG's question:
If your company is licensed for the Web Services Adapter and WebFOCUS Web Services Enablement Option,
you can create a Master or Masters to pretty much perform any function that the ReportCaster Development Environment allows you to do.

If I have modified the wsdl file, where should I copy it to?

Not sure I understand the question.
You can store the WSDL anywhere and modify it.
You just add the connection in the Web Service Adapter to the modified WSDL.
file://c:/ScheduleServiceModified.wsdl .

You should also take a look at the following FocalPoint thread. It might clarify things for you.
"Scheduling ReportCaster job and distribute to Reports Library from Fex"

Is there a particular place on the server I should put the file?

It could be anywhere.
Remember. You configure the Connection String to the location of the WSDL file. So, the WSDL file can be anywhere that the Reporting Server has access to.
