Description

Customer is unable to start ReportCaster and getting error "Host:Port not found in the list of Distribution Servers in the ReportCaster configuration file. Distribution Server shutting down"

 

Environment

Windows

Resolution

As the error is related to hostname and port, we need to check the hostname and port in two files -

1. classpath.bat location - C:\ibi\WebFOCUS92\ReportCaster\bin
2. dserver.xml location - C:\ibi\WebFOCUS92\utilities\WFReposUtil\xml

In above two files, the hostname and port needs to be same to resolve the issue.
