Hi,
I would like to pull the reports for the App V 5.0 environment. I was provided with an URL,
http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:.com:portnumber> . But when I launch the URL i get the message as below
Service
Method not allowed. Please see the service help page for constructing valid requests to the service.
Could any one let me know how to get the reports by launching the URL.

Opening the URL in the browser does exactly nothing. It does not send any reports, it doe not enable any reporting feature.
There is NO USE of opening the reoprting URL in a browser.
If you want to send reporting data 'right now' for any reason (troubleshooting, intention to destry a test machine, whatever), you can use Send-AppvClientReport.
When you configure reporting correctly, a Scheduled Task is created that automatically send reporting data in the background to an App-V Reporting Server. 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj684297.aspx and http://www.applepie.se/app-v-5-client-reportingclient-setup explain
how to do it manually or automated using Powershell. Microsoft's ADMX  template (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41183) allows to configure
it using GPO.
(uhm, and I've taken all 3 links from the 'Client Configuration for App-V Reporting' section from kirxblog)
Side-Note: you could write your own application tjhat send reporting data to the server, if the Schedule task doesn't fit your requirements... then you could tell your app to contact the URL. Again: Humans don't need that.
