Hello to All

This is a minor irritation rather than a pressing issue,k but does anyone know a way to stop the .jar files that power reportcaster being copied from the wf internet server every time it is invoked.

We have roaming profiles of limited size and each time we run rcaster a new .jar of considerable size is copied into the profile.

After a certain number of invocations Windows 2000 starts to moan that your Profile Size has been exceeded and its not going to let you log off unless you do something about it.

Now the idea behind downloading the applet each time was that visitors to a website would get the latest version of the software each time. This idea is redundant with wf in that the s/w is constant from version to version and thus only needs to be downloaded once or once every month say.

Is there anyway we can adjust the refresh on the .jar files.

Failing that:

Is there any way we can move the java cache outside of our profile.


Failing that:

Here's our Fudge solution. We run this before we log off to remove the files from cache.

C:

cd %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Sun

cd Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar

DEL reportcaster*.*

DEL IBIMRADmin*.*

DEL threed*.*

DEL IBI*.*

cd c:\

For caster you can try using a technique that i found on Techsupport

http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/sps/13472020.html

Itrequires you to copy the jar file to the location machine (in your case profile) and invoke it from there.

See if it helps
