  Hi,

  The reporting service web application does not have any 'get' functionality, so when you connect to it with a browser there is nothing you can see.

  As the 'send-appvclientreport' command reports success, I think there is no technical issue at all.

  I asume that you are looking for actually *viewing* some reports? Then you'd need some solution that gets the 'raw' data out of the App-V Reporting Database and draws some nice graphs. 

  http://kirxblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/app-v-5-reporting-resources/ has a set of links that could help you in that case.

  Thank you for the reply.

  So you mean to say that link, http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:.com:portnumber is for sending the reports and is not for viewing the reports. For viewing the reports we need to follow the process http://kirxblog.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/app-v-5-reporting-resources/

  Could you please also clarify

  1. http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:.com:portnumber If this URL is entered in the browser this is same as enabling the reporting services and running  Send-AppvClientReport

  2. When I launch the above reporting URL, I get the below message. And doing so sends the data to reporting server

  

  3. If I don't launch the URL, does the client not send the data to the server (as we cannot expect users to launch the URL or run the powershell commands to send the data to the reporting server)

  Hello,

  That URL I would guess would only be to send reports. See this guide as a sample way to get started with SQL Reporting Services;

  Opening the URL in the browser does exactly nothing. It does not send any reports, it doe not enable any reporting feature.

  There is NO USE of opening the reoprting URL in a browser.

  If you want to send reporting data 'right now' for any reason (troubleshooting, intention to destry a test machine, whatever), you can use Send-AppvClientReport.

  When you configure reporting correctly, a Scheduled Task is created that automatically send reporting data in the background to an App-V Reporting Server. 

  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj684297.aspx and http://www.applepie.se/app-v-5-client-reportingclient-setup explain how to do it manually or automated using Powershell. Microsoft's ADMX  template (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41183) allows to configure it using GPO.

  (uhm, and I've taken all 3 links from the 'Client Configuration for App-V Reporting' section from kirxblog)

  Side-Note: you could write your own application tjhat send reporting data to the server, if the Schedule task doesn't fit your requirements... then you could tell your app to contact the URL. Again: Humans don't need that.
