Changing frequency capping on display campaigns using JAVA api

[Aba]

Hi all,

How would I change the frequency capping on display campaigns using the JAVA adwords api ? 

Thanks for all your help,

Aba

campaign.getFrequencyCap().setImpressions((long)theNumber);

CampaignOperation operation = new CampaignOperation();

operation.setOperand(campaign);

operation.setOperator(Operator.SET);

  CampaignOperation[] operations = new CampaignOperation[] {operation};

 CampaignReturnValue result = campaignService.mutate(operations);

is the solution .

Hi Aba,

My apologies for the delay. I believe it should be campaign.setFrequencyCap() instead of campaign.getFrequencyCap() if you wish to change the frequency capping. You may refer below to the sample code snippet and SOAP request on how to update your campaign with a new frequency cap :

    //Set your preferred impressions value (1000000000L), Time Unit and Level

    FrequencyCap frequencyCap = new FrequencyCap(1000000000L, TimeUnit.DAY, Level.CAMPAIGN);
    // Create campaign with updated status.
    Campaign campaign = new Campaign();
    campaign.setId(campaignId);
    campaign.setStatus(CampaignStatus.PAUSED);
    campaign.setFrequencyCap(frequencyCap);
    // Create operations.

    CampaignOperation operation = new CampaignOperation();
    operation.setOperand(campaign);
    operation.setOperator(Operator.SET);
    CampaignOperation[] operations = new CampaignOperation[] {operation};

I hope this helps and kindly let me know if you require more help with the issue.
