One of the developers ran into an error with Management Reporter while he was trying to publish publish a report link to SharePoint. It threw the error:
“Unable to create the related report link in: https://(Server_name)/mysite”
We all know that Management Reporter is an integrated support output destination for SharePoint. The report allows you to specify one or more SharePoint libraries within the report itself. Upon completing the much needed configuration for the Management Reporter SharePoint integration, the developer had received the said error. Management Reporter logs and Windows event logs did not furnish required or additional information – which is not the case – usually.
After further review the developer confirmed that Management Reporter does not support SSL (https://) with SharePoint. Upon creating a new content site entirely – using http, he was able to successfully publish his report link to SharePoint.
