Known Issues in Daton

We are committed to delivering a reliable platform. This section transparently lists any known issues encountered during the October and November release, along with the fixes we’ve implemented to address them. These fixes cover various areas, including data processing errors, API inconsistencies, and interface glitches.

Data Source NameIssueFix

Amazon Ads

Issue impacting certain tables in the Amazon Ads integration:

Job failures occurred because of token expiration during execution, happening specifically one hour after generation.

To remedy this, we have implemented a fix that ensures tokens are now dynamically refreshed multiple times within a job.

This enhancement ensures the successful execution of all jobs, preventing disruptions and allowing seamless data loading for all users. We encourage users to review the updated documentation for additional details regarding this bug fix.

Amazon Vendor Central

Issue related to monthly reports failing with an invalid input error in the Vendor Central integration.

We have addressed the bug by modifying the API call to use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) instead of a time zone offset. As a result, we effectively fixed tables that were previously experiencing failures.

Importantly, this fix ensures there is no risk of data loss during the monthly reporting process. We encourage users to refer to the updated documentation for further insights into this bug fix.
