WebFOCUS Version 8 ReportCaster Tools and Distribution Options Consolidation
Effective with WebFOCUS Version 8, the ReportCaster
Applet User Interface and Schedule Wizard are replaced with modern
web-based Rich Internet Application facilities that will eliminate
the requirement to have a specific release of the Java Virtual Machine
present on each end user machine. In addition, the following distribution options
are discontinued and will not be distributed with Version 8:
- Managed Reporting Distribution option to create a new folder
for each distribution of report output has been replaced with the
ability to select the Managed Reporting folder to distribute the
report output to when creating or editing a schedule. Managed Reporting
security will be enforced when creating or editing a schedule and during
report distribution.
- Support for the Prepared Reports FTP distribution option has
been removed in WebFOCUS Version 8. Schedules that use this option
will be deactivated during migration. These schedules need to be
updated after migration with the appropriate information for an
FTP schedule.

consolidation, see the Technical Support website.
