Refreshing report service connections

If a PowerCube has been rebuilt, you can update the connection information without affecting current users.

You must first update the connection information to the rebuilt PowerCube, and then refresh the report servers to use the rebuilt PowerCube for new connections.

For more information, see Deploy Updated PowerCubes.
