Hi,

I would like to use the Reporter tool to download the report and encounter the "Invalid vendor ID" issue.

The Reporter version:

$ java -jar Reporter.jar p=my.properties getVersion
2.0

I am able to retrieve the accounts and vendor information which means my properties file should be fine.

$ java -jar Reporter.jar p=my.properties Sales.getAccounts
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Accounts>
// Accounts info
</Accounts>

$ java -jar Reporter.jar p=my.properties Sales.getVendors
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Vendors>
// Verdors info
</Vendors>

However whenever I try to get the report, it always said that my vendor id is invalid.

Assume my id is 12345678.

$ java -jar Reporter.jar p=my.properties Sales.getReport 12345678, Subscription, Summary, Daily, 20161201
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Error>
    <Code>200</Code>
    <Message>Invalid vendor number specified. Try again.</Message>
</Error>

Is this a permission issue or did I do it wrong?

Thanks,

Instead of "Subscription", try using "Sales":

java -jar Reporter.jar p=my.properties Sales.getReport 12345678, Sales, Summary, Daily, 20161201

You might not have a Subscription report. Does your app offer in-app subscriptions?

Hi Brad,

Thanks for your replying. Our app doesn't offer in-app subscriptions.

What I actually try to get is the number of daily download and I assume it's in the getReport command. Is that in other different command?

Thanks,

Suiting

Hi Brad

I am facing the same issue. It was working fine previously but suddenly stopped. I am using the following command

C:\>java -jar c:\Reporter.jar p=Reporter.properties m=Robot.XML Sales.getReport <Vendor ID>, Sales, Summary, Daily, 20170511

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<Error>

<Message>Invalid vendor number specified. Try again.</Message>

</Error>

Could please suggest anything.?
