"form ID doesn't exist on server"

Support
1

Hi all -

I'm in the early stages of experimenting with the ODK Briefcase CLI. After some tinkering, I've come to a problem which I can't overcome. From the Windows cmd, I run the Briefcase jar file like so (appropriately substituting names and URLs for ODK Aggregate server):

java -jar "ODK Briefcase v1.4.10 Production.jar" --aggregate_url https://xyz.appspot.com --form_id "name of form" --odk_username user --odk_password pwd -sd "\temp"

The output I receive is:

Feb 14, 2017 6:08:39 PM org.opendatakit.aggregate.parser.BaseFormParserForJavaRosa run
INFO: Successfully created directory. Using: C:\temp\ODK Briefcase Storage
Feb 14, 2017 6:08:41 PM org.opendatakit.aggregate.parser.BaseFormParserForJavaRosa run
SEVERE: form ID doesn't exist on server

This implies that the form does not exist. However, I'm able to access it manually by visiting xyz.appspot.com/Aggregate.html, where I can select the form and view its contents.

What are some common causes for the "form ID doesn't exist" error I'm seeing?

Thank you in advance,
Taylor

browse to xyz.appspot.com/xformsList

You need to specify the value within the field. Not the
display string in the field.
