Error Null operation when uploading AdGroupAdOperation using batch processing

[Irfan Ismail]

I used adwords batch processing api to create adwords campaign structures. When uploading operations using BatchJobHelper.uploadIncrementalBatchJobOperations I got error Null operation, as bellow :

I try to upload CampaignOperation and AdGroupOperation separately and its succeed. Only when I try to upload AdGroupAdOperation I got the Null Operation error again.

Here the code how i compose the AdGroupAdOperation :

    private AdGroupAdOperation composeAddOperation(Ad obj) {

        // Compose Operand
        TextAd textAd = new TextAd();
        textAd.setHeadline(obj.getH());
        textAd.setDescription1(obj.getD1());
        textAd.setDescription2(obj.getD2());
        textAd.setDisplayUrl(obj.getDu());
        textAd.setFinalUrls(new String[] { obj.getFu() });
        AdGroupAd adGroupAd = new AdGroupAd();
        adGroupAd.setAdGroupId(obj.getAdGroupOrigId());
        adGroupAd.setAd(textAd);

        // Create operation
        AdGroupAdOperation operation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
        operation.setOperand(adGroupAd);
        operation.setOperator(Operator.ADD);

        return operation;
    }

Please let me now if more information is required.

Thanks,

Hi Irfan,

Could you please send the complete SOAP request and response and the clientCustomerId used when you encountered the issue? Also, sending the complete code while using the BatchJobHelper.uploadIncrementalBatchJobOperations for uploading the AdGroupAdOperation should help to check the case further. Please make sure to use Reply Privately to Author when sending these information.

Thanks,

After checking I found out that several operations not build correctly causing entire upload to be failed. After some fix to code this issue is solved.

Thanks,
