ManagedCustomerService get: different results links vs entries

[Carmine Pagliaro]

Hi to all,

I used the following guide: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/java/account-management#get-the-account-hierarchy-under-the-current-account.

I noticed that different managerCustomerId values are present in links list but not in entries list (customerId).

This involves the failure of the method, in particular at this level (code below).

for (Entry<Long, Long> parentIdEntry : parentIdToChildIds.entries()) {
        parentNode = customerIdToCustomerNode.get(parentIdEntry.getKey());
        childNode = customerIdToCustomerNode.get(parentIdEntry.getValue());
        childNode.parentNode = parentNode;
        parentNode.childAccounts.add(childNode);
    }

How can fix it? Can you help me to find a solution?

Thanks

Hi Carmine,

The example gets the account hierarchy under the current account. If your current account is a MCC id, this will get all the accounts under that MCC. Could you please elaborate what you mean by 'failure of the method' along with SOAP request and response as well as your client customer id? You may opt to reply privately to author.

Hello Dhanya,

the method fails because of a NullPointerException, in partiicular on this line:





parentNode.childAccounts.add(childNode);

because we get a null parentNode, we are using a key present in the links list but not in the entries list. Why is that?

Thanks a lot for your support


Kind regards

Carmine

Hi Carmine,

Could you reply privately to author with your SOAP request and response as well as your client customer id, so that I can troubleshoot further? Regarding using key present in links list that you mentioned, could you give a specific example?
