Issue/Introduction:

I created report by Reporter API function by following command.

https://ReporterIP:8082/api/create?username=admin&password=XXXX&database=XXXX&role=_admin&label=demoreport1&summarizeBy=sc_filter_category&action=download

I can download created report however, Reporter indicated error when I request download that report again.

httpStatusCode: 500
httpMessage: Internal Server Error
detailedMessage: Failed to download report

Cause:

Reporter create report in memory when set parameter action=download and it will be remove from memory when you download. 

Resolution:

You need set action=archive if you want to created report many times.
[Note] The Reporter's default action is set as archive so you don't need to set any action parameter.

Sample

https://ReporterIP:8082/api/create?username=admin&password=XXXX&database=XXXX&role=_admin&label=demoreport1&summarizeBy=sc_filter_category&action=archive
