Re: Campaigns with similar names get same ID when created concurrently.

Hi Maxim,

The next time this appears, please send me the SOAP request and response 
xmls to anash.p.oom...@google.com (or if you have 2 such instances already, 
I could look them up in the logs). I'll investigate this further.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
AdWords API Advisor.

Campaigns with similar names get same ID when created concurrently.

2012-02-20 Thread Maxim 
Often times, but not every time, when two threads create campaigns with 
similar names for the same account, e.g.
40AC459A-E44F-4ED4-AB8C-ECFD653E216F-GES and 
40AC459A-E44F-4ED4-AB8C-ECFD653E216F-GEL
or
40AC459A-E44F-4ED4-AB8C-ECFD653E216F-IPS and 
40AC459A-E44F-4ED4-AB8C-ECFD653E216F-IPL

Google API assigns the same ID to these campaigns.
We are not always able to detect this condition timely, which results in 
all sorts of problems for our system, including duplicate stats.
The remedy is to erase IDs for one of the campaigns and its contents, which 
marks them as "new" in our system - new elements get submitted to Google 
again using create APIs (or the new ADD APIs), in which case we get correct 
IDs.
We are unable to reproduce it every time, but with 550K+ campaigns it 
becomes a nuisance.

Any idea?
