Key Changes and What to Expect
- Deprecation Complete: After May 1st, queries using ReportType FULL_PATH or PATH_ATTRIBUTION will generate empty reports.
- Existing Resources: Previously generated report files and existing Query and Report resources of the deprecated types will remain accessible.
- Sunsetting of Values: As of May 1st, the following will occur:
- queries.create requests using the FULL_PATH or PATH_ATTRIBUTION ReportType values or the pathQueryOptions field will produce an INVALID_ARGUMENT error.
- queries.get, queries.delete, and queries.reports.get requests attempting to retrieve resources using these types will result in a NOT_FOUND error.
- queries.list and queries.reports.list responses will no longer include resources associated with these types.
To ensure a smooth transition and avoid service disruptions, Google is recommending that users cease creating, retrieving, or running reports using the deprecated values prior to May 1, 2024.
