Update existing campaigns bidding strategy to conversion optimizer with target CPA

[Eliya]

Hi,

I am trying to change an existing campaign's bidding strategy to Conversion 
Optimizer with target CPA, but for some reason it is set to be max CPA (as 
I see in the Adwords UI).
The relevant Java code:

ConversionOptimizerAdGroupBids adGroupBids = new 
ConversionOptimizerAdGroupBids();

adGroupBids.setConversionOptimizerBidType(ConversionOptimizerBidType.TARGET_CPA);

adGroupBids.setDeduplicationMode(ConversionDeduplicationMode.ONE_PER_CLICK);
adGroupBids.setTargetCpa(new Bid(new Money(null, targetCpa)));

The bidding option does change to based on conversions, and the right 
amount is set, but in the Max CPA field.
As I understand from the following discussion:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/adwords-api/a8COOO5rprA/discussion
it wasn't an option to set Target CPA, is it available in v201109, because 
it seems fully supported according to the API.

Can someone pls help?? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

MutateJobService - Partial failure and programmatic timeout issue

[Eliya]

Hi,
I am having some problems with making sure mutate in mutateJobService is 
actually executing the desired operations:

1. I want all operations in a specific job to be atomic. Intuitively, I 
could disable the partialFailure request header, but as I see in 
documentation, it is relevant only for AdGroupCriterion & AdGroupAdService.
Furthermore, from this reference I gather that: "MutateJobService always 
has partialFailure enabled (the getService logic is unnecessary for this 
service)"
(
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/adwords-api/MutateJobService$20partial$20failure/adwords-api/wdf9OOgl-bw/TlK_e62p4i8J
)
Is there any way to make sure all operations succeed/fail together?

2. I am currently submitting a job and checking its status every period of 
time for a constant number of tries, as recommended in the examples. This 
may cause a state where the program was terminated after max timeout, but 
the job is still running. As after a certain point I can't cancel the job, 
is there any way to make sure the job is done?
For example, can I specify a max timeout, after it the job is aborted / 
considered failed? Or is there one specified by Google I can act upon?

Thank you.

Filter campaigns by bidding strategy

[Eliya]

Hi,

I need to get all campaigns in a certain account that are Conversion 
Optimizer eligible.
I see that this is a selector field that isn't filterable, but in order to 
reduce the number of campaigns I am requesting, I am trying to get only the 
campaigns that aren't currently conversion optimized.

Is there any way of doing this?
Thank you!

Re: Filter campaigns by bidding strategy

[Eliya]

The only solution that comes up is a predicate like:

Predicate campaignBiddingTypePredicate = new 
Predicate("ConversionOptimizerBidType", PredicateOperator.NOT_IN, new 
String[] { 
ConversionOptimizerBidType._TARGET_CPA, ConversionOptimizerBidType._MAX_CPA });

Is there something more suitable?

Re: Filter campaigns by bidding strategy

[Eliya]

I meant filtering programmatically through the API (I'm using the Java API).
In the campaign service  the eligibility property is only selectable, not 
filterable
 .
Sorry if I was unclear.
Thanks

[Eliya]

The conversion optimizer eligibility property is not part of any report.

Re: ConversionOptimizerBiddingTransition

[Eliya]

Hello,

I'm facing the exact problem. The new docs do not specify an alternative to 
setting the explicit bids.
Did you find a solution?

Thank you.

Faulty selector 'TargetCpaBid' - Campaign Service v201302

[Eliya]

Hello,

I am getting a SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME when trying to retrieve 
'TargetCpaBid' in the campaign service. The documentation 
(#1<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201302/CampaignService.CpaBid#bid>
 & 
#2<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/selectorfields#v201302-CampaignService>)
 
specifically specifies this selector.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Eliya.

Re: API V201302 - Problem on configuring campaign for Mobile and Tablet devices

[Eliya]

Hello Alexander & Laurin,

I am facing the same issue, I would like to migrate my existing mobile 
targeted campaign to an enhanced campaign that contains only ads that are 
mobile preferred.
My problem is that I need to edit existing ads. Is that possible through 
the API, for example using 'setDevicePreference' or does this create a new 
ad? I want to make sure none of our statistics are damaged from this...

Thanks a lot,
Eliya.
