[Complete] SanJuan application server changes made this morning

Posted on by

Mike Carroll at Perpetual Technologies made some changes to our production report server this morning. It was done during our regular 5:30 a.m. maintenance window:

1) Cleaned up logs and cache directory
2) Created a new reporting server with security enabled by default: UPS_CASCADE_PROD
3) Enabled tracing on existing reporting server: rep_SanJuan_UpsForms

The changes were complete by 6 a.m. and the following apps were tested to verify the report server was working:

1) Direct report server call
2) Report server call from a Cascade form
3) Report server call from Famis
4) Report server call from BJP
