Is filter=ALL_ALL supposed to include ALL?

Can you let me know if the following request is supposed to include ALL live merchants?

http://www.affiliatewindow.com/affiliates/shopwindow/datafeed_metadata.php?user=XXXX&password=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&format=XML&filter=ALL_ALL

The reason i'm asking is we use that request to auto suspend merchants not included in that feed, and if some live merchants are omitted from that feed then it's not much use to us for that purpose.

Hi Lee,

Hope you are well.

Please be assured that it will provide you data of all live merchants.

Best wishes,

I've tried to open up the feed in the browser to manually check but my computer is too slow, however on running the script it is suspending Travelodge (not checked that many) and that should only happen if the merchant is not in the feed.

It basically works by suspending all merchants in our database then making live the ones found in the feed.

Can you double confirm that Travelodge is live and definately in that feed?, if it is then i'm baffled :-)

Hi Lee,

Travelodge programme is hidden in our network therefore it doesnt appear in the feed you have downloaded.

Thanks.

So the ALL feed doesn't include ALL.

Perhaps you should rename the filter to NearlyAll to stop confusion :-)

Thanks

Is it possible you could give me a list of all the hidden merchants so I can ensure they are not suspended incorrectly.

Cheers
