Getting BatchJobError.CAMPAIGN_AND_CAMPAIGN_ASSET_TRANSACTION_FAILURE

[Diana Vladeva]

I started getting an odd error when trying to do an update campaign_operation.

I am using Java Google Ads API v17.

The error started appearing the last couple of days:

campaign_operation { update { resource_name: "customers/xxx/campaigns/yyy" status: ENABLED network_settings { target_google_search: true target_search_network: false target_content_network: false target_partner_search_network: false } geo_target_type_setting { positive_geo_target_type: PRESENCE negative_geo_target_type: PRESENCE } name: "xxx Campaign name here xxx" campaign_budget: "customers/xxx/campaignBudgets/bbb" end_date: "2037-12-30" bidding_strategy: "customers/xxx/biddingStrategies/zzz" } update_mask { paths: "resource_name" paths: "name" paths: "status" paths: "network_settings.target_google_search" paths: "network_settings.target_search_network" paths: "network_settings.target_content_network" paths: "network_settings.target_partner_search_network" paths: "geo_target_type_setting.positive_geo_target_type" paths: "geo_target_type_setting.negative_geo_target_type" paths: "campaign_budget" paths: "end_date" paths: "bidding_strategy" } } status: code: 3 message: "The error code is not in this version., at mutate_operations[1].campaign_operation" details { type_url: "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v17.errors.GoogleAdsFailure" value: "\n\235\001\n\003\230\b\001\022&The error code is not in this version.\"-\022\025\n\021mutate_operations\030\001\022\024\n\022campaign_operation*?\n=BatchJobError.CAMPAIGN_AND_CAMPAIGN_ASSET_TRANSACTION_FAILURE" }

Thanks in advance for your help!

To give an update for everybody.

I sent a private message with the API request data, here is the response from the support:

Diana:

v17 which you are using is deprecated and this error message is not available in the version. I strongly suggest that before anything else, you upgrade to v19.

This error indicates a failed transaction involving interdependent Campaign and CampaignAsset operations that are treated atomically as a single transaction. Because some operations within the transaction failed, the entire set of changes was rejected. Related error details are found in the results for the Campaign and CampaignAssets sharing the same Campaign ID. The transaction will succeed after all associated errors are resolved.

The response in v19 will have details on what caused the error and you should be able to fix it yourself.
 

I will provide an update after the upgrade to v19.
