NOTE:
SharePoint Server is used as intranet portal on a machine different from the machine with Strategy installed, and a network folder has been mapped to SharePoint folder. Make sure it is possible to use a path in UNC format (e.g. \\machine_IP_ address\projects\ShareDocuments) to retrieve/publish files in this fold using Windows file manager.
 
CAUSE:
The SharePoint folder is not configured properly to allow Intelligence Server to write to it.
 
ACTION:
Please contact SharePoint administrator to change the folder security settings in SharePoint side to make the folder writable.  And also make sure the folder has been configured inheritance in the backwards-compatible document library.
