Batch processing TextAds resulting in BatchJobProcessingError.FILE_FORMAT_ERROR

[Alan Coleman]

Hello everyone,

I'm migrating from MutateJobService to BatchJobService and to get started am experimenting with a test account and a script derived from v201601\CampaignManagement\AddKeywordsUsingIncrementalBatchJob.php

I can add batches of Keywords and Negative Keywords no problem.

However when I attempt to add a batch of TextAds I'm being returned the following error, which would indicate an issue with the input file.

Processing error [0]: errorType=BatchJobProcessingError, trigger=, errorString=BatchJobProcessingError.FILE_FORMAT_ERROR, fieldPath=, reason=FILE_FORMAT_ERROR

I'm building my TextAd in the usual fashion, but I don't know what I'm doing to disturb the file formatting.

I've output the upload request created in BatchJobUtils.php (see below - XML Opened up for viewing purposes) but can't see anything wrong with the XML Formatting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi, 

Could you please send SOAP request and response log, so that we can investigate further? Please click Reply privately to author when responding.

Hi Alan,

Thank you for providing those additional logs. You're adding an AdGroupAd as the operation, but the operations tag says that the type is AdGroupCriterionOperation. I think you'll want to change that to AdGroupAdOperation. 

<operations xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ns1:AdGroupCriterionOperation">

If that's within your own code, please try changing that type. If the issue is in the client library, then please file an issue on PHP's Ads client library GitHub.

Thanks,

Nadine, AdWords API Team
