Unable to mutate ProductPartitions for AdGroup

[Михаил Бесчетнов]

Hello!

There is an issue with adding a ProductPartition list for AdGroup.

I'm trying to add new ProductPartition to existing root partition, which is now empty:

AdGroupCriterionServiceInterface adGroupCriterionService = new AdWordsServices().get(adWordsSession, AdGroupCriterionServiceInterface.class);

ProductPartitionTree partitionTree = ProductPartitionTree.createAdGroupTree(new AdWordsServices(), adWordsSession, request.getAdGroupId());

ProductPartitionNode rootNode = partitionTree.getRoot().asSubdivision();

rootNode.addChild(
      ProductDimensions.createCanonicalCondition(ProductCanonicalConditionCondition.NEW)
).asBiddableUnit().setBid(100000L);

rootNode.addChild(
      ProductDimensions.createCanonicalCondition(null)
).asSubdivision();

List<AdGroupCriterionOperation> mutateOperations = partitionTree.getMutateOperations();

if (mutateOperations.isEmpty()) {
   System.out.println("Nothing to do");
} else {
   adGroupCriterionService.mutate(
         mutateOperations.toArray(
               new AdGroupCriterionOperation[mutateOperations.size()]
         )
   );
}

It looks just like in example (https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201409/shoppingcampaigns/AddProductPartitionTree.java), but in my case server returns:

[AdGroupCriterionError.PRODUCT_PARTITION_SUBDIVISION_REQUIRES_OTHERS_CASE @ operations; trigger:'ProductPartition{id=TempCriterionId{id=1}, bidSimulatorStatus=null, partitionType=SUBDIVISION, parentCriterionId=null, productGroup=null, caseValue=null, decisionPath=[]}']

What is wrong? :)

Hi,

The problem is that your "other" node is a SUBDIVISION node, but it needs to be a UNIT node.

Here's what you are attempting to create:

• root, type = SUBDIVISION
• CanonicalCondition=NEW, type = UNIT
• CanonicalCondition=null, type = SUBDIVISION

To fix this, you can either:

a) make the "other" node an excluded unit node

rootNode.addChild(ProductDimensions.createCanonicalCondition(null))

  .asExcludedUnit();

OR

b) make the "other" node a biddable unit node with a bid.

rootNode.addChild(ProductDimensions.createCanonicalCondition(null))

  .asBiddableUnit().setBid(...); // replace ... with your bid amount in micros

Thanks,
