The Report Images service is responsible for creating thumbnail images of SAS® Visual Analytics reports that you see in SAS® Drive or in SAS® Report Viewer. The image displayed in the thumbnail is based on an actual object inside the report. The data must be accessed in order to render that image. 

If the data for the report is not available at the time that the thumbnail is generated, the previously shown warning is written to the log for the Report Images service, and a generic report image is used for the thumbnail.

This warning is not indicative of any serious problem.
