You need to manually enter the symbols. Refer to this page here for instructions:
Interactive Brokers Symbols

We cannot possibly add every single symbol which is available. This is an enormous task to add those and maintain those. It is actually impossible for us to do.

That is not the correct format for futures. Refer to:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/IBSymbols.html#Futures

This is the symbol you will want to use for the December contract:
AIGCI-201512-ECBOT-USD-100

This means there is no data for that particular contract for the last year.

Not totally sure what the contracts months are for that particular market but you might want to try September:
AIGCI-201509-ECBOT-USD-100

In general, you are not going to get much data for these futures markets which are not actively traded.
