Solution A

1. Open Database Manager 

2. Navigate to the ReportJobs  table, and check the WebsiteID column 

3. Now navigate to Websites table (take a note of the WebsiteID) 

4. Replace the WebsiteID column in the ReportsJobs table with a valid WebsiteID found from Wesbites table 

5. Restart the Module Engine service from the Orion Service Manager

Solution B

1. Open Database Manager 

2. Navigate to the ReportJobUrls  table, and check the URL column

3. Locate and correct any row that contains a URL that is improperly formatted, for example: '<servername>/Orion/Report.aspx?Report=CABRS600+Volume+Report' should be 'http://<servername>/Orion/Report.aspx?Report=CABRS600+Volume+Report'
4. Restart the Module Engine service from the Orion Service Manager
