v11 Creative report error for account with 0 campaigns

[Hari]

We have 2 empty Google Adwords accounts. That is, they have no
campaigns (0 campaigns). These accounts were created for later use.
When we run the creative summary report for these accounts through the
v11 API, we get the following error:



2008-02-02 12:29:46,183 ERROR [STDERR] AxisFault

parameters is invalid.



The accounts that have one or more campaigns have no problems. The
MaximumCPC and CPC are required columns and this shouldn't fail even
when there are no campaigns in the account. Also the Google
documentation for this report doesn't specify this. In v10, there were
no issues for this use case.



I am setting the DefinedReportJob.selectedReportType to Creative.

Hello Hari,

This is a difference of behavior between v10 and v11 reporting. Given
that there is no chance such a report would return useful information,
I'd recommend ignoring the SOAP fault for the scenario you describe.
