Partial failure flag

[srke...@hotels.com]

Hi,

I am performing a MutateJobService to update keyword bids in bulk.Should I  be worried about setting Partialfaliure flag? When updating 1000 keywords in a batch, if certain keywords fail to get updated due to errors, then will the whole batch fail?

If i do have to set to the Partialfaliure  flag, then can someone send a small snippet as to how and where its set. I am using python API.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Fortunately, the Partial Failure is always set to true when using the MutateJobService. By setting this flag, you will not have all of your requests fail when only one or a few of them fail. 

For future reference, you can set the Partial Failure flag to true by setting it in the googleads.yaml file. 

Cheers,

Thanks Anthony, one more questions. I am trying to get the cpc bid from the mutate job response. and i am using the following code:

for result in result_response['SimpleMutateResult']['results']:
   print(result.AdGroupCriterion.biddingStrategyConfiguration.bids[0].bid.microAmount)

but the above code sometimes gives the cpm bid instead of cpcbid because the object "bids[0]" is sometimes cpc and other times cpm. How do i change the above code to get cpc bid always?.. below is the response object and the code i tried, which did not work and thre an error.

         

biddingStrategyConfiguration =
            (BiddingStrategyConfiguration){
               biddingStrategyType = "MANUAL_CPC"
               biddingStrategySource = "CAMPAIGN"
               biddingScheme =
                  (ManualCpcBiddingScheme){
                     BiddingScheme.Type = "ManualCpcBiddingScheme"
                     enhancedCpcEnabled = False
                  }
               bids[] =
                  (CpmBid){
                     Bids.Type = "CpmBid"
                     bid =
                        (Money){
                           ComparableValue.Type = "Money"
                           microAmount = 250000
                        }
                     cpmBidSource = "ADGROUP"
                  },
                  (CpcBid){
                     Bids.Type = "CpcBid"
                     bid =
                        (Money){
                           ComparableValue.Type = "Money"
                           microAmount = 3600000
                        }

                     cpcBidSource = "CRITERION"
                  },

sometimes bids[0] is cpc and other times its cpm.. how to refer to cpcbid in the object bids[]?

i tried:

   print(result.AdGroupCriterion.biddingStrategyConfiguration.bids['CpcBid'].bid.microAmount)

AttributeError: 'BiddingStrategyConfiguration' object has no attribute 'CpcBid'

Hello,

The BiddingStrategyConfiguration has a bids property. You could add a condition to check the bids array contains the CpcBid type to get only CpcBid data.
