  Cause:
  
  Missing Report: The report specified by &1 does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being created, deleted, or not transported correctly.
  Inactive Report: The report exists but is not active. This can happen if the report has been deactivated or if it is in a development state and not yet released for use.
