Hi Harut, statusSpecified and status are independent properties of AdGroup objects, setting value for one property does not affect the value of the other property. However, they work together when you make an AdWords API call. For instance, assume that you are trying to Enable a Paused AdGroup.
//retrieve the adgroup. ... adGroup.statusSpecified = false; //statusSpecified is now false adGroup.status = AdGroupStatus.Enabled; //status is now Enabled. //this API call will not update the adgroup status, since //statusSpecified = false causes the SOAP framework to ignore //the new status while making API calls. adGroupService.updateAdGroup(adGroup); //however, this call will update the adgroup status. adGroup.statusSpecified = true; adGroup.status = AdGroupStatus.Enabled; adGroupService.updateAdGroup(adGroup); Regards, Anash P.
