AdWords API Re: UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR Trying to Add one or more Criterion
Hi Eric, Thanks for the response. Is there anyway I can check for this before I make the request (like using the validate only flag in the request header)? If not do you know or have an ETA on a solution for the engineering team? Also what are you defining as handled automatically of the error?

AdWords API Re: Order of Returned Operations Through Criterion Service
Hi Eric,
What happens if one of the keywords fails to be added does the whole
mutate request fail like batch transactions or will one fail at a time
and return something else in the index place?
Thanks,

Will the operations that I send in the mutate request be returned to

AdWords API Re: BulkMutateJob and extra identifiers
Hi Eric,
I appreciate the detailed response. However I am still unclear on why
performance is incredibly slow. I still (last 2 days) trying up
update 7,000 keywords and I am getting a TON of concurrent
modification errors.
Response to topic #1: I am only sending the destination url to be
updated with this code and it is still running SUPER slow to the point
of unusable, what gives:
Criterion criterion = new Criterion();
criterion.id = criterionId;
criterion.idSpecified = true;
BiddableAdGroupCriterion biddableAdGroupCriterion = new
BiddableAdGroupCriterion();
biddableAdGroupCriterion.adGroupId = adGroupId;
biddableAdGroupCriterion.adGroupIdSpecified = true;
biddableAdGroupCriterion.destinationUrl = destinationUrl;
biddableAdGroupCriterion.criterion = criterion;
AdGroupCriterionOperation operation = GetAdGroupCriterionOperation
(Operator.SET, biddableAdGroupCriterion);
m_adGroupCriterionService.mutate(new AdGroupCriterionOperation[]
{ operation });
Response to topic #2: I am not re-updating the same keyword after
failure, I moving on the next one.
Response to topic #3: To clarify is there a way to send additional
parameters what will just be sent back to with the criterion so that I
can parse it and match it to my DB, sort of like a known request ID
that is unique across all criterion. I also think of this as like and
extra public property on the criterion of type string that I can put
something into (like a JSON structure). Then I can de-serialize it on
the return. I can seem this being a well used feature in the API.
This way I can create a bulk update job, send it to the API and then
check on it every X minutes (asynchronously). This will reduce the
traffic to outside the building and reduce the SSL handshakes down
significantly. It is assumed that your API has written good logic to
process bulk jobs efficiently in house faster and with higher
priority.
Thanks Eric, I hope to hear from you again or someone else on your
team.
Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,
Thank you for the detailed description of your goals and the problems
you have encountered. Some points I'd like to mention:
- A simple way to improve the performance of keyword updates is to
only send the information you wish to change. So for instance if you
only want to change the bid on a keyword only send the adGroupId,
criteriaId, and bids fields. Sending other fields that you aren't
changing can often lead to increased request time since those other
fields must also be processed and can sometimes trigger other
workflows.
- CONCURRENT_MODIFICATION errors can happen when you attempt to update
the same keyword in quick succession. After you update a keyword it
may need to be re-approved, and the back end approval workflow can
sometimes try to modify a keyword at the same time you do. For this
reason it is best to leave a few seconds before attempting to to make
another update to the same keyword.
- It is possible to retrieve the resulting IDs with the
BulkMutateJobService, by setting the resultPartIndex on the
BulkMutateJobSelector. We have an example of this included with our
client libraries:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-java/source/browse/trunk/...
In general though the BMJS makes no guarantees that it will process
results any faster than the synchronous services, as that is not the
main goal of the service. Under certain circumstances you may see
some improvement, but the service is best used for changes that aren't
as time-sensitive.

AdWords API What are the effects of deleting all adgroups and criterion from a campaign?
Hello, As the subject states my question is simple: what are or would be the effect of deleting all adgroups and their criterion from a campaign? For example, will I loose bids on established keywords, statistics traffic, reporting, etc. Please be specific if you know the answer. My reason for wanting to do such a thing stems from my other topic/ discussion here : http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api/browse_thread/thread/e77c38382813f7/72e42ee9adc70dd7#72e42ee9adc70dd7 The API is slow to update a LOT of keywords in a synchronous manner so I am thinking of manually using the ad words tool for the desktop to truncate a campaign, re-create ad groups dynamically, create a text file of keywords to load into the ad words tool. Then to keep my system in sync I will run a structure report to pull the keywords in the campaign, parse the XML file and insert a record of the keyword (and what entity it belongs to in my system) into our DB. Then in the future I can perform the updates, removals and add's in bulk. This is all in the hope of decreasing the execution time for some of our much larger customers we work on behalf of where the keyword count is in the tens of thousands and one being over one hundred thousand keywords (yes we hit a limit, and yes we had to call to get it raised). I hope someone can help answer my main question above and the the API team can look into why there is such consistently slow performance.

While debugging I have noticed that the call to update/mutate a criterion is sometimes taking 30+ seconds to return, this was not the case in the last version. Which brings me to my main question about the Bulk Mutate Job. Is there a way to pass along extra identifiers to the job/operation so that when it returns and the job is complete I can loop over the results and grab my database ID's (primary key) from the criterion to update my system accordingly? If not, what are some alternatives to keeping two systems connected like this? If this is not currently supported can it be a feature request, sometime we want or need to pass along our identifiers so we know what to do with it when it returns.
