Hi.
I have installed v21 from sources and i have migrated the database form the previous v11 first to v20 and now to v21.

The database is fine and all hosts and scans are in it but i cannot generate any reports. The error that i am getting is
md manage:WARNING:2021-10-13 12h16.59 UTC:15409: run_report_format_script: No generate script found at /opt/gvm/var/lib/gvm/gvmd/report_formats/generate

Is there any command that i can run to regenerate the report formats?

if i try to modify the settings
gvmd --modify-setting 78eceaec-3385-11ea-b237-28d24461215b --value b1164211-50c4-43f0-ade5-32b3c2f5d2e1

i get the following error

md main:MESSAGE:2021-10-13 12h33.36 utc:16018: Greenbone Vulnerability Manager version 21.4.2~git-09bdb532f-HEAD (GIT revision 09bdb532f-HEAD) (DB revision 242)

If i look in the system i see the report formats so no error there

Regards

Solution:

Copy report formats to /opt/gvm/share/gvm/gvmd/report_formats/ and change the feed owner and it will pick up the reports
