Question about v20102

[Oliver]

In the v201502 release notes, the following is mentioned:

Removed objects handling

Services and reporting will now omit objects whose Status is REMOVED unless a predicate explicitly includes them. This was always the case for ads but now applies to ad groups and campaigns as well.

What if I execute the following AWQL on CampaignService:

SELECT Id, Name, Status WHERE CampaignId in [...]

when one of campaigns specified has status = Removed.  Will the above return the details of the removed campaign since I explicitly specified it by Id?

Sorry, the title should say v201502!

Hi,

At the moment, the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT will not return REMOVED campaigns, even if you explicitly request them by CampaignId and/or CampaignStatus = REMOVED. We're looking into this -- I'll post an update as soon as I have more information.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

I was specifically referring to using the Service API CampaignService as opposed to using reports.

How do the Service objects behave if the campaign ID is specified and the campaign is REMOVED? Do they still return the campaign?

Hi Oliver,

Services in v201502 are consistent in that you always have to include a Predicate for STATUS = REMOVED if you want to retrieve removed objects. This is true even if you specify the CampaignId.

Hi,

As a follow up, just wanted to point out that the report issue I mentioned on Mar 19 has been fixed. You can now retrieve REMOVED campaigns from the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT by including a predicate on CampaignStatus = REMOVED.

Thanks,
