Fault occurred while processing

I tried to run some code that worked last week, and it is now failing
against the sandbox.

The error message is rather unhelpful: "Fault occurred while
processing.".

Any ideas?

The operation was ADD a campaign.

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/"><soap:Header><ResponseHeader xmlns="https://
adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/
v200909"><requestId>a5e2ba5c266feaf64868ab4e4fe3856c</

soap:Header><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Server</
faultcode><faultstring>Fault occurred while processing.</faultstring></

Hi Simon,

The sandbox was reset last Friday, so this could be just a temporary
glitch while trying to re-create your account. Can you try this
request again?

Still same problem today.

When using the v200909 API, there isn't any need to create a sandbox
account is there?
With the account I'm using, I can log into google adwords production
without problems.
As you can see below, I'm passing
clientEmail=client_1+production_account_id
developerToken=production_account_id++NZD
As I understand it, a sandbox account then gets created automatically.

I'm using the Java API, adwords-api-7.1.0-v2009.jar.

Here's the full logging from today (with userid and authtoken replaced
with #, and some linefeeds added).

Note that this code *did* work last week...

FYI, I've tested a GET campaigns request, and that works fine (returns
0). So authentication creds appear correctly configured here....

Hi Simon,

I ran some tests myself, and it looks like the problem is that you are
trying to create a campaign with a MONTHLY budget. The same request
with a DAILY budget works correctly. I'll follow up with the core
engineering team about this problem and let you know when I have more
information.

Best,

Thanks very much Eric. I can confirm that switching to DAILY budget
works fine, and resolves this issue for me.

Hi,

I have the same problem.

Everything works fine for Daily budget, but it fails for Monthly
budget.

Hi,

I heard back from the core engineering team, and the error is being
returned because the use of MONTHLY budgets is restricted. The error
message for this problem will be improved in the next version of the
API.
