Account object has different methods while working in parallel

[Krzysztof Bycina]

Hi AdsScripts team,

I'd like to try working in parallel on my accounts.

Before my script was making changes in series.

I had a code like that:

    var accountSelector = AdsManagerApp.accounts()
        .withCondition("LabelNames CONTAINS '" + LABELNAME + "'");
    var accountIterator = accountSelector.get();



    while (accountIterator.hasNext()) {

        var account = accountIterator.next();

How can I access the same account object for each account while working in parallel, please?

Currently, I select the account like that:

var account = AdsApp.currentAccount();

Unfortunately, it doesn't have the same methods.

Can you help me with it, please?

Thank you,

Krzysztof

Hi Krzysztof,

The executeInParallel method is an account selector method. It is designed to work on accounts in bulk, hence you cannot access a specific account within the execute in parallel method. You can read more about execute in parallel here.

Will it work if I do something like that, please?

var accountName = AdsApp.currentAccount().getName()

var account = AdsManagerApp.accounts().withCondition("Name = '"+ accountName + "'").get().next();

In other words, is it possible to the access each account labels while using Parallel?

Or it's just not possible at all?

Thank you.

Hi Krzysztof,

I work with Matt and allow me to assist you in the mean time.

Could you confirm if what you want to retrieve is the labels created on each account? If yes, then you may try to refer to the sample implementation below to retrieve labels while using parallel :

function main() {
var accountSelector = AdsManagerApp.accounts() .withLimit(50);
accountSelector.executeInParallel('processResults', null);
}

function processResults() {
accountSelector = AdsManagerApp.accounts().get().next();
AdsManagerApp.select(accountSelector);

var labelSelector = AdsApp.labels();
var labelIterator = labelSelector.get();

while (labelIterator.hasNext()) {
 var label = labelIterator.next();
 Logger.log(label.getName());
 }
}

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Peter
