TargetError.MULTIPLE_OCCURRENCES_OF_SAME_TARGET setting Campaign Network Targets

[joel]

I'm getting a TargetError trying to set the Network Targeting settings
for a new Campaign. It seems to indicate that I have a duplicate, but
I'm sending distinct values. Any thoughts? Here's my code:

NetworkTarget google = new NetworkTarget();
google.setNetworkCoverageType(NetworkCoverageType.GOOGLE_SEARCH);

NetworkTarget search = new NetworkTarget();
search.setNetworkCoverageType(NetworkCoverageType.SEARCH_NETWORK);

NetworkTarget content = new NetworkTarget();
content.setNetworkCoverageType(NetworkCoverageType.CONTENT_NETWORK);

NetworkTarget contextual = new NetworkTarget();
contextual.setNetworkCoverageType
(NetworkCoverageType.CONTENT_CONTEXTUAL);

networkTarget.setTargets(new NetworkTarget[] { google, search,
content, contextual });

Receiving the error:
[TargetError.MULTIPLE_OCCURRENCES_OF_SAME_TARGET @ operations
[0].operand.targets[0]

Thanks!

Hi Joel,

Do you have the SOAP XML logs for this request?

Never mind, a later section of the code was re-adding the same
targets. The error was valid, my bad.

But maybe you can help with the next error I encountered:
[TargetError.SEARCH_SUGGEST_NOT_AVAILABLE_FOR_THE_CUSTOMER @ operations
[0]/*CampaignId: (my campaign id)*/]

I don't even see this error listed here
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/CampaignTargetService.TargetError.html

I am sending an empty list of network targets since according to the
documentation at http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/CampaignTargetService.NetworkTargetList.html
"List of network targets. An empty list means all networks are
targeted. This field must contain distinct elements. This field must
not contain null elements."

Here is the SOAP for this error.

Hi Joel,

I was able to replicate this error message on my own account, and I
have escalated the issue to the core engineering team. I'll update
this thread when I have more information. In the mean time, a
workaround would be to explicitly set the network targets to the
values you want.

Best,
- Eric
