I am using BulkDataExchangeService for ReviseInventoryStatus api and getting Error -21916254 'You have exceeded the maximum allowed containers'. Why ?
- <BulkDataExchangeResponses xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">

The reason you are getting this error is because you can only pass upto 4 InventoryStatus nodes in a single request.
Please refer to the this link : http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/XML/docs/Reference/eBay/ReviseInventoryStatus.html#Request.InventoryStatus
The same rule applies to LMS too.
So what you need to do is in one ReviseInventoryStatus api request you should pass only 4 InventoryStatus nodes, but make multiple ReviseInventoryStatus api calls in one single upload file.
Here is an example :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <BulkDataExchangeRequests> - <Header> <SiteID>0</SiteID> <Version>1271</Version> </Header>- <ReviseInventoryStatusRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"> <Version>1271</Version> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-1</ItemID> <StartPrice>36.82</StartPrice> <Quantity>1</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-2</ItemID> <StartPrice>231.88</StartPrice> <Quantity>1</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-3</ItemID> <StartPrice>26.90</StartPrice> <Quantity>5</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-4</ItemID> <StartPrice>26.97</StartPrice> <Quantity>3</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> </ReviseInventoryStatusRequest>
- <ReviseInventoryStatusRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-5</ItemID> <StartPrice>97.98</StartPrice> <Quantity>16</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-6</ItemID> <StartPrice>38.45</StartPrice> <Quantity>18</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-7</ItemID> <StartPrice>85.62</StartPrice> <Quantity>29</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> - <InventoryStatus> <ItemID>Item-8</ItemID> <StartPrice>89.14</StartPrice> <Quantity>2</Quantity> </InventoryStatus> </ReviseInventoryStatusRequest>
---more ReviseInventoryStatus nodes -----
</BulkDataExchangeRequests>
