Slow Product Group Creation

[Big Apple Buddy]

Hi - I'm creating product groups across a bunch of different ad groups in various shopping campaigns. I'm finding that the batch processing of operations is very slow (< 50 operations a minute). The "progressStats" suggest that the operations are being created successfully, but I was wondering if there's best practices / suggestions on improving the speed of operations processing. Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Please refer to this guide on the best practice guidelines when you use the MutateJobService. You could try to have fewer larger jobs over many smaller jobs and try to avoid operating on the same objects at the same time. Please also refer to this guide on the general rate limit concerns. 

Thanks and regards,

Hi Xiaoming

Many thanks for getting back to me. I'm uploading the operations via batch processing and have followed the best practices there - I'm ensuring that only one operation per object (ad group in this case) is being uploaded and only uploading one single batch of 50k operations (not multiple smaller batches). The current 50k operation batch has been running for ~20 hours and is only 30% complete.

Is some other issue the possible cause?

Many thanks

Hi,

Please also make sure that you order uploaded operations by operation type and do not poll the job status too frequently. Also note it is recommended to add no more than 1,000 operations per AddMutateJobOperationsRequest and use the sequence_token to upload the rest of the operations to the same job. As the Google Ads API is still in beta version, if the issue persists please consider using the BatchJobService in the Adwords API.

Thanks and regards,
