Updating Version of API

[Connor McManus]

Just dipping my toe in the water to the AdWords API, so I'm a bit new to how the process of updating to the newest version works. The current version I'm running, v201506, has hit the sunset period, and that explains why that part of my reports are broken. I'm needing to migrate over to the v201509 version. Other than bringing over that version of the API and changing the version number to reflect, are there any other kinds of maintenance that need to be done before I start following the migration guide? 

In addition, is there a fairly simple guide to getting started with being able to view SOAP errors to see where things are failing?

Hi Connor,

I suggest that you go through the release notes for AdWords API version v201509 as well as the v201509 migration guide. The updated client libraries and code examples for API version v201509 are available here. 

Please note that the version v201509 is being sunset on 21 June 2016. I encourage you to skip v201509 and migrate straight to v201601 or v201603.

Depending on the client library you are using, you can find instructions to enable logging in their source distributions. For example, instructions to enable logging for the Java client library can be found here.

Cheers,

Shwetha, 

It seems that regardless of which version of the API I'm running, everything seems to be failing with this call:

$report=ReportUtils::DownloadReportWithAwql($reportQuery, null, $user, $reportFormat, $options);
$report = explode("\n", $report);

I have gone through seemingly endless trials of figuring out which part of that is causing the failure, and have ruled out the query, reportFormat, and options. I'm fairly certain it's not the user either, as no errors seem to be drawing from that call - things just fail.

Is there something I'm missing after updating, perhaps on that ReportUtils class?

Hi Connor,

Could you provide the complete report definition as well as your client customer id, so I can further look into it? Please use Reply privately to author when responding.
