Invalid XML character error

['Ilya Borisenko' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hi!

We are observing the following error while performing a request to 
AdGroupAdService via the SDK:
*An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) was found in the element content 
of the document.*

Looks like the service is returning a symbol that causes the XML 
deserializer to fail. Here's the SDK-related part of the stack trace. Is 
there a way to handle this on our side without making changes to the data?

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 
4743; An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) was found in the element 
content of the document.

Re: Find maximum conversion window for a report

[Ilya Borisenko]

Hi Nirmita, thanks for the response.

I've got two more questions about this:
1. You suggest to get tracker types from campaign performance report. Will 
other reports have data from the same trackers with the same window sizes? 
In other words, if I'm downloading a report other than campaign 
performance, can I still use this approach to find maximum conversion 
window size?
2. Is it possible to find maximum conversion window for a separate field in 
a report?

Find maximum conversion window for a report

[Ilya Borisenko]

To find a conversion window size, we can retrieve a ConversionTracker and 
check viewthroughLookbackWindow and ctcLookbackWindow values. 
But how to get the maximum conversion window size related to a certain 
report type with some custom set of fields?

Thanks!
