Hi Josh,

Thank you for the pointers! It sounds like I am heading down the right 
track :-)

Thanks,

Hi Stacie,

Sorry, I misread your question on migrations. Unfortunately, we don't have 
a guide specifically on using feed services to migrate to upgraded URLs. 
The closest example we have is the AddSiteLinksUsingFeeds.java example 
,
 
which you may be able to modify to:

   - Add attributes to your Feed for the upgraded URL fields
   - Remove your existing FeedMapping and replace it with a new FeedMapping 
   that includes the upgraded URL fields
   - Update your FeedItems, populating the new upgraded URL fields

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

[Stacie Waleyko]

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the detailed response. Agreed that the best way is to use the 
attribute field mapping to figure out which placeholder field the attribute 
corresponds to. We create all our extensions with feed services (we don't 
use any extensions created by the AdWords UI/system) so it would have been 
nice to maintain that level of consistency across accounts.

Thank you for the migration guide for extension settings. While we would 
very much like to migrate to extension settings we have invested a lot of 
energy in creating a system that works with feed services and currently do 
not have the resources to migrate to extension settings. Hopefully we can 
do this in the future. I was mainly looking for a guide to update sitelinks 
using feed services (not extension settings) but I'm fairly certain that 
doesn't exist. 

Thanks again,

Stacie

Re: Updating Feed Attributes (related to Upgraded URLs)

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Stacie,

You can only *add* attributes to a Feed. You won't be able to modify 
existing attributes of a Feed, e.g., you won't be able to change their 
types.

I would recommend against relying on specific attribute IDs always being of 
a specific type. In particular, feeds created by the AdWords system offer 
no guarantees about which attribute ID will be used for each placeholder 
field. A better solution would be to use the 
FeedMapping.attributeFieldMappings 

 to 
look up the feedAttributeId 

 
that corresponds to each placeholder fieldId 

.

Regarding migrating to extension settings, please check out our Migration 
Guide 
,
 
which includes links to code examples in each language.

Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Updating Feed Attributes (related to Upgraded URLs)

[Stacie Waleyko]

Hello,

We are working on migrating our sitelinks to use upgraded URLs. We are 
using feed services to create sitelinks with link text going in attribute 
#1 and the URL in attribute #2. New sitelinks are created with upgraded 
URLs that are stored with attribute #2 (attribute #2 is of type URL_LIST). 
For old sitelinks that have destination URLs attribute #2 is of type URL. 
Ideally we would like to maintain consistency across the system and have 
attribute #2 always correspond to an upgraded URL for *both* new and 
migrated sitelinks. To migrate old sitelinks I tried to change attribute #2 
from URL to URL_LIST but I got an error. Is there any way to edit a 
FeedAttribute? The only other way we could maintain consistency in our 
system would be to create an additional attribute. Attribute #2 would have 
to always be of type URL for the old destination URLs and then there would 
be a new attribute #3 of type URL_LIST. This could work but I'm worried the 
URL type might one day sunset since destination URLs are no longer being 
supported. What is the best way to approach this? Also, I was not able to 
find a guide for migrating sitelinks with feed services. Any documentation 
on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stacie
