Duplicate Element

[Syed]

Hi,

I was trying to add Campaign. When i do that am getting this
following error. I used the same code some times back(one or two weeks
back), it works fine. I have made no changes to the code.

But still am getting this error.

This exception occurs when i try to save the changes made to existing
campaign.

[DistinctError.DUPLICATE_ELEMENT @ operations[3].operand.targets[2]]

Can you please tell me what does this error exactly means.

Urgent please

Thanks

Hi Javeed,

I looked up your request xml from the requestId. Looks like the error
is exactly what is says in the fault string, i.e.
DistinctError.DUPLICATE_ELEMENT
@ operations[3].operand.targets[1]]. The sanitized xml for your
request's 4th operation is pasted below:

<operations>
<operator>SET</operator>
<operand xsi:type="ns5:NetworkTargetList" xmlns:ns5="https://
adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v200909">
<campaignId>XXXXXX</campaignId>
<targets>
<networkCoverageType>SEARCH_NETWORK</networkCoverageType>
</targets>
<targets>
<networkCoverageType>SEARCH_NETWORK</networkCoverageType>
</targets>
<targets>
<networkCoverageType>CONTENT_NETWORK</networkCoverageType>
</targets>
<targets>
<networkCoverageType>GOOGLE_SEARCH</networkCoverageType>
</targets>
</operand>
</operations>

As you can see, SEARCH_NETWORK target is repeated twice, which causes
the server to raise a DistinctError on the second target.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
