Hi Dexter,

When performing incremental uploads of BatchJob operations, the request body must be a multiple of 256K (262144) bytes. If the XML which contains the operations is smaller than 256K, it should be padded to 262144 bytes. Could you try this out and let me know if your BatchJobs are successful? The AddCompleteCampaignsUsingBatchJob Java example demonstrates how to use BatchJobService. Code samples in other languages are provided here.

Hi Shwetha,

I am facing the same issue with BatchJobService. I am using batch job service for Feed Creation and it is throwing me an error saying "FILE_FORMAT_ERROR". Even I am not able to print the SOAP logs. Following is the property I am using for logging the SOAP requests and responses:

log4j.category.com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.client.AdWordsServiceClient.soapXmlLogger=INFO, CONSOLE

log4j.category.com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.client.AdWordsServiceClient.requestInfoLogger=INFO, CONSOLE

log4j.category.com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.utils.report_download=INFO, CONSOLE

log4j.category.com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.utils.batch_job=INFO, CONSOLE 

My Batch Job Id is 919715814.

Regards,

Shweta

Hello Swetha,

The FILE_FORMAT_ERROR occurs when the entire batch upload request is not formed correctly or does not meet the upload requirements listed here. Looks like there is another thread going on for enabling SOAP logs. To avoid confusion please followup on that thread and try to enable SOAP logging. Please do verify the input file and share the SOAP logs if you are still facing an issue. While sharing the details you could use reply privately to the author option.
