Reporter.jar returns 212 (unexpected error) since March 9th

Since March 9th according to my records, Reporter.jar has started returning 212 (An unexpected error occurred. Try again later) rather than 213 (There were no sales for the date specified).


Previously, if there were no sales for a region for an existing reporting period, 213 would be returned.


Likewise if you asked for a report in the future, the 213 would be returned (no report yet)


(in my case)

java -jar Reporter.jar p=Reporter.properties m=Robot.XML Finance.getReport <vendorid>,AE,Financial,2017,1


The problem is my automated system is unable to tell whether the report just isn't available yet or there is a real error.


The 213 error code is still listed in the Reporter documentation.


Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks,


Jon.

I've been experiencing the same thing. I've opened a bug report with Apple on April 6th 2018. They responded with a question for me, but I've received no other response. I finally had to change my code to interpret 212 as "no data available". That is a super dangerous move to make, but I can't find an alternative (Our accounting department won't sit idle while we wait for Apple)

I have the same problem. Any updates on this?
