Toby Mills's post in Why are columns not showing in Application Directories? was marked as the answer
Hi Cory
Looks like your boss has his Preferences set to "Show Files on Application Tree" checked.
Here's how you get his view to look more like yours:
Have him Click on the Manage button at the top and choose Preferences...
Then in the Preferences box that opens on the right, you'll see some options with checkboxes. Have him clear the Show Files on Application Tree.
Then press the Update button. I think that'll fix you up.
I never saw this before so this was educational for me.
Hope that helps!

Toby Mills's post in What is the difference between 'REST' and 'WebFOCUS Client REST' data connectors in WebFocus 8207? was marked as the answer
Hi Deb
I think the WF Client REST only lets you ask WebFOCUS questions about it's repository much the same as you could by using the web interface via your browser. You can do things like this the contents of folders or check the security settings of an item in report form.
Normal REST - or what I think we're calling Open Portal Services now - lets foreign applications run WebFOCUS reports. For example you might have a sharepoint site with some container on a page and you want that container to show you a WebFOCUS generated chart... That's when you'd be using the 'real' Rest services.
So one just aims at WebFOCUS Client to query info - the other lets you run WebFOCUS content inside other applications.
To see some of the things you might be able to do with the WF Client Adapter - you might check out this page on your environment:

I think that will give you an idea. I bet this is all documented somewhere too. When you create the WF client adapter, it'll volunteer to make a bunch of useful masters /acx files that will land in the app folder of your choosing.
Hope that helps. I'm not 100% certain of these as I'm not using them right now.

Toby Mills's post in Anybody archiving their ReportCaster Logs? was marked as the answer
Hi Deb
There are 2 kinds of logs for Caster - one is the scheduler.log - that one really just watches the Caster software starting up and deciding to run a scheduled job etc. The other kind of log - the Job Logs is what I think you're looking for. This is the output of the reports as they're running - sort of like if you ran a report interactively from the >> command prompt. Number of records, lines etc...
There's a place in the Configuration of caster to set the Log Purge Period. Maybe this is useful?
Maybe that checkbox at the top that says to wipe out logs when caster starts has been checked somehow...
Maybe you can get what you want from the BOTLOG2 table?
Those are just thoughts off the top of the brain.
