Sweet. Thanks for the info eichen! Now keeping fingers crossed that "before the end of the week" doesn't end up being 2 months from now.

I received a slightly different response:

We are currently experiencing issues with the reporting servers. We are working to resolve this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Would be nice to know what the problem is and why it is taking 3 weeks to fix it?  Hardware, network, database, software...  Why there is not redundancy in their services is also interesting to know.

A blast from the past...

Dear Vendor,



Over the last 3 weeks we have been experiencing problems with the Download and
Purchase reports available through the Vendor Portal.  We are continuing to work on
a permanent fix to the root problem.



To help mitigate the recent lack of reports, we have generated both Download and
Purchase reports for all of your applications for the month of December (EOD
December 22nd, 2010).  We have also generated the Purchases report for the entire
month of November.  You can find these in the Vendor Portal, under Download Reports.



We sincerely apologize for the delay in a full resolution, but we expect to be back
to fully functional reporting very shortly after the New Year.

Hello 'QuiteSimple'

Thanks a lot for the update. I guess they generated reports only for your applications. Was it based on a support ticket request? If so, could you please point me to the page where I can submit a ticket as well. I am unable to find the link.

Thanks,

Ramesh Narayanan

It was over 1 year ago...

Wow! Did not realize that - I did see the 2010 timestamp but thought it could have been a typo from RIM.

So, I guess for 2011 it is wait and pray.

I hate conspiracy theories but now things tend to make me feel that they have messed with reports intentionally. That gives their servers more room for holiday traffic loads.

I just don't understand how RIM can work like that where us devs are b*tching everyday now.  How can reports go down every quarter and we hear nothing about it.  Is it that difficult just put up a msg when we login and say reports are down.  does it really take 3 weeks to fix the same bug over and over again? It would really like to know the person in charge of appworld.

It is still not fixed.
