Why reports delayed for a week

General discussion

Hi guys,
As a developer myself, I just do not understand why the reports are delayed for up to a week. You do run this marketplace against a central database, right? In my opinin, a download is a download when it is done. Why 7 days? Can someone explain?
Thanks.

Good question. Others (amazon, play, appstore) have it realtime or 24h delayed.Saturday, September 15, 2012 7:24 AM

Maybe the download counters are being printed to a card punch on a remote mainframe. Then those cards are shipped back to another company who has a card reader for that mainframe and read back in (with frequent jams). Then those entries are submitted as a batch on a 3.5" Floppy disk that has been used 1 million times and has a lot of read errors.
Sorry, I have no idea. But the lag is making me crazy too. :)

I won't get into details because I have to run and unjam the card reader, but we understand your frustration and are working on improving the delay in these reports.
