Hi Mark, The sandbox is assigned significantly less resources than production and is expected to perform worse than the production environment. It is possible that the production environment would normally be able to handle the workload you are currently giving the sandbox, but the sandbox, lacking the resources of production, is running into problems completing the job. That it works in smaller batches argues for this explanation.
We recommend breaking your job into smaller pieces in general. Another option is to use the MutateJobService, a much simpler alternative to the BulkMutateJobService. It has the restriction of only 10,000 operations in a job, but has significantly less overhead and is our recommended approach to performing operations in bulk moving forward. Eric Koleda presented these slides at our v201109 workshop explaining the benefits of this new service: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0Bxn2aklBAWFiNDZlMjgwMWQtZmNiOS00ZGRiLThkMzktOGQzNDJhN2ZiMzE1&pli=1 - Kevin Winter AdWords API Team -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
