Re: Ad hoc report oddity - simple request but no data returned
Well, ManagedCustomerService does not work for accounts that are not part of an MCC (well, that was the case a month ago). So if I get an account not part of any MCC, how can I get its time zone and currency? Now I solve this by requesting a report, but that doesn't work on new accounts without impressions. Note: the v201109 had a similar service (forgot its name) which did work as long as you provided the customerid when accessing that service. But I found out that that workaround did not work in the ManagedCustomerService of v201206.

Re: Ad hoc report oddity - simple request but no data returned
In v201206 you can use CustomerService in case the account is not linked to an MCC. You don't need to pass the customer ID. This is how we use it: Customer customer = customerService.get(); String timeZone = customer.getDateTimeZone(); Oliver On Thursday, November 8, 2012 6:57:42 PM UTC, Zweitze wrote: Well, ManagedCustomerService does not work for accounts that are not part of an MCC (well, that was the case a month ago).

Re: Ad hoc report oddity - simple request but no data returned
Kevin, This is strange; when I went back this morning to generate the XML for you for some of the reports that kept failing last week I found they are actually now working (with the exception of the Account Report which you already mentioned). Sorry about this but I know they were failing also for someone else, so it couldn't have been just an error on my side. The important thing is it's all working.
