Question from Client of DSS REST API

Client is getting below error while accessing instrument list.
Looking at the Python Shareholder Rights Example Application
code for the DSS (which has a few typos by the way).
https://developers.thomsonreuters.com/datascope-select-dss/datascope-select-rest-api/downloads
I am getting the following errors, when I run the script in
the following ways. Why is this?
python fetchDSSshareHolderData.py -U 9015636 -P 'xxxxx'
-B BasketPositions.csv
- ERROR,
20171227175243,InstrumentList of name
'API_ShareHolder_Disclosure_InstrumentList' not found.
python fetchDSSshareHolderData.py -U 9015636 -P 'xxxxx'
-B BasketPositions.csv -R API_ShareHolder_Disclosure_InstrumentList.csv
- ERROR,
20171227175637,InstrumentList of name
'API_ShareHolder_Disclosure_InstrumentList.csv' not found.

Error: InstrumentList of name xyz not found
The Python script expects to find a pre-existing instrument list saved on the DSS server. That is not a local file (i.e. a csv) but an instrument list created in DSS. To create such a list you can use the DSS GUI, and import the RICs from the sample CSV, as stated in the README.txt:
- API_ShareHolder_Disclosure_InstrumentList.csv: RIC list used by default and must be imported into DSS via browser interface first
The script expects to find an instrument list with this specific name: API_ShareHolder_Disclosure_InstrumentList.
Parameter -R allows you to tell the Python script to use a different instrument list name, in case of need.
This (and more) is explained in the comments at the top of the python script.
Edit: added:
The screenshot shows:
- The instrument list saved on the DSS server, with the default name (which means parameter -R is not required)
- The instrument list was populated by importing the API_ShareHolder_Disclosure_InstrumentList.csv file, using the highlighted button.
