Hi Bill,

To fix such an error, here are several steps you can try:

1. Retry the Operation: Sometimes the error may be transient, so simply trying again later as the message suggests can sometimes resolve the issue.
2. Check Service Status: Ensure that the SSRS service is running properly on the server. You can do this by going to the SQL Server Configuration Manager and checking the status of SQL Server Reporting Services.
3. Review Error Logs: Check the SSRS logs for more detailed error messages. The log files are typically located in a folder such as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRSxx.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles Look for messages that were logged around the time the error occurred, as they may provide more insight into the cause of the problem.
4. Server Resources: Verify that the server has sufficient resources (CPU, memory, disk space) available, as resource contention can sometimes cause such errors.
5. Permissions: Ensure that the account you are using has the necessary permissions to create subscriptions in SSRS.
6. Browser Issues: Try a different web browser or clear the cache of the current browser. Sometimes browser-specific issues can cause problems with web applications.
7. Database Connectivity: Verify that the SSRS server can connect to the data sources it needs to generate the reports. Connection issues can sometimes manifest as general errors in the front end.
8. Service Patches and Updates: Make sure that SSRS and the underlying SQL Server instance are fully patched and up to date. Sometimes errors can be resolved by applying the latest updates from Microsoft.
9. Check Subscription Settings: Review the settings for the subscription to ensure all fields are correctly filled out and that there are no configuration issues with the report itself.
10. Network Issues: Check for any network-related issues that might be preventing communication between your browser and the SSRS server.

Please let me know and accept this answer if anyone from the above list helped you.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to contact your system administrator or seek support from Microsoft with the specifics of the error, especially if there are entries in the log files that indicate a more specific problem.
