Google Ads sources in mappings

To read data from Google Ads, configure a Google Ads object as the Source transformation in a mapping or

mapping

task.

Specify the name and description of the Google Ads source. Configure the source, query options, and advanced properties for the source object.

The following table describes the source properties that you can configure for a Google Ads source:

Property	Description
Connection	Name of the Google Ads source connection.
Source Type	Type of the Google Ads source objects available. You can read data from a single Google Ads source object or parameterize the object.
Object	Name of the Google Ads source object based on the selected source type.
Filter	Configure a simple filter or an advanced filter to filter rows from the source based on a filter condition. You can improve efficiency by filtering early in the data flow. A simple filter includes a field name, operator, and value. Use an advanced filter to define a more complex filter condition, which can include multiple conditions using the AND or OR logical operators.

The following table describes the advanced properties that you can configure for a Google Ads source:

Property	Description
Customer ID	Required. Specifies the Google Ads client customer ID associated with the Google Ads manager account.
OrderByClause	Comma-separated list of field names for a Google Ads object and the order in which the data appear in the field mapping. To specify the order of rows for a field from a Google Ads object, specify the following format: "<objname>.<field_name1>=<ASC or DESC>,<objname>.<field_name2>=<ASC or DESC>" The following example shows the OrderByClause that you can use to group the data in the ad_group object: “ad_group.name=DESC,ad_Group.id=ASC”
Limit	Species the number of rows to read from a Google Ads source object.

You can set the tracing level in the advanced properties session to determine the amount of details that logs contain.

The following table describes the tracing levels that you can configure:

Property	Description
Terse	The Secure Agent logs initialization information, error messages, and notification of rejected data.
Normal	The Secure Agent logs initialization and status information, errors encountered, and skipped rows due to transformation row errors. Summarizes session results, but not at the level of individual rows.
Verbose Initialization	In addition to normal tracing, the Secure Agent logs additional initialization details, names of index and data files used, and detailed transformation statistics.
Verbose Data	In addition to verbose initialization tracing, the Secure Agent logs each row that passes into the mapping. Also notes where the Secure Agent truncates string data to fit the precision of a column and provides detailed transformation statistics. When you configure the tracing level to verbose data, the Secure Agent writes row data for all rows in a block when it processes a transformation.
