Batch processing: TEMP_ID_ENTITY_HAD_ERRORS and INVALID_ID errors

[angie...@simplisafe.com]

Hi,

I tried to update new adgroups in keywords using batch processing, but I got these error:

Operation 531 - FAILURE:

errorType=NewEntityCreationError

trigger=TempAdGroupId: 227

errorString=NewEntityCreationError.TEMP_ID_ENTITY_HAD_ERRORS

fieldPath=operations[531].operand.adGroupId

reason=TEMP_ID_ENTITY_HAD_ERRORS

Operation 611 - FAILURE:

errorType=EntityNotFound

trigger=AdGroupId: 0

errorString=EntityNotFound.INVALID_ID

fieldPath=operations[611].operand.adGroupId

reason=INVALID_ID

I'm wondering what the issues are? I used to do this sequentially (not using batch processing) and I didn't need to specify and adgroup ID when adding new ad group. I think you need to do so for batch processing (to be able to put the right keyword in the right adgroup ID) so here's my code for updating ad group: 

def BuildAdGroupOperations(client, batch_job_helper, adgroup_spreadsheet):
    micro_multiplier=1000000
    ad_group_service = client.GetService('AdGroupService', version='v201705')
    id=0

    # Construct operations and add ad groups.
    adgroup_operations = [{
      'operator': 'ADD',
      'xsi_type': 'AdGroupOperation',
      'operand': {
          'campaignId': adgroup_spreadsheet.loc[i,'Campaign ID'],
          'id': batch_job_helper.GetId(),
          'name': adgroup_spreadsheet.loc[i, 'Ad group'],
          'status': 'ENABLED',
          'biddingStrategyConfiguration': {
              'bids': [
                  {
                      'xsi_type': 'CpcBid',
                      'bid': {
                          'microAmount': int(adgroup_spreadsheet.loc[i, 'Max CPC']*micro_multiplier),
                      },
                  }
              ]
          },

          'urlCustomParameters': {
                             'parameters': [
                            # Since your tracking URL has two custom parameters, provide
                            # their values too. This can be provided at campaign, ad group,
                            # ad, criterion, or feed item levels.
                                        {
                                            'key': 'term',
                                            'value': adgroup_spreadsheet.loc[i, 'Custom Parameter']
                                        }
                                    ]
                                }
            }
        }
        for i in range (1, adgroup_spreadsheet.shape[0])]
    return adgroup_operations

Is there a better way to assign adgroup ID (or to let it automatically assign and get the ID to load keywords in)? 

One more question is how to print out which ad group/keyword is having an error? Thanks!

Hi Angie,

The NewEntityCreationError.TEMP_ID_ENTITY_HAD_ERRORS that you encountered indicates that a validation has failed for the parent entity and so validation for the child entity would no longer be done. As for the EntityNotFound.INVALID_ID error, it would appear that you might be referencing an AdGroupId which does not belong to your account or that the said AdGoupId has already been REMOVED.

This being said, you may review if the said AdGroupId is still existing within your account by using the GetAdGroups example. Additionally, you may also review the steps when processing batch jobs using this guide to avoid further errors. Let me know if this helps or if the issue persists so I can further investigate.

As for checking/retrieving the errors, you can retrieve its information using the processingErrors field. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Peter
