Return Value	Type	Occurrence	Meaning

Call-specific Output Fields [Jump to standard fields]

Job	ConsolidationJob	Always	Container consisting of details related to the shipping policies consolidation job, including a unique ID, the status of the job, and the eBay site ID.
Job.JobId	long	Conditionally	Unique identifier for a shipping policies consolidation job. This field will not be returned in the consolidateShippingProfiles response if the call fails to create the job. A JobId value is needed in the GetConsolidationJobStatus request to retrieve a job.
Job.JobStatus	ConsolidationJobStatus	Always	This field indicates the status of the shipping policies consolidation job. Applicable values: Complete This value indicates that the shipping policies consolidation job has successfully completed. Failed This value indicates that the shipping policies consolidation job has failed. If this value is returned, it is possible that the user can find the reason for job failure by looking at the errorMessage container (if any) in the same response. Running This value indicates that the shipping policies consolidation job is currently in progress. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
Job.JobType	ConsolidationJobType	Always	The type of shipping policies consolidation job. Currently, only one value is applicable. Applicable values: ShippingProfilesConsolidation This value indicates that the job type is a shipping policies consolidation job. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
Job.SiteId	int	Always	Unique identifier of the eBay listing site.

Standard Output Fields

ack	AckValue	Always	A token representing the application-level acknowledgment code that indicates the response status, such as success. The AckValue list specifies the possible values for ack. Applicable values: Failure eBay encountered a fatal error during the processing of the request, causing the request to fail. When a serious application-level error occurs, the error is returned instead of the business data. PartialFailure eBay successfully processed the request, but one or more non-fatal errors occurred during the processing. Inspect the message details and resolve any problems before resubmitting the request. Success eBay successfully processed the request and the business data is returned in the response. Note that it is possible for a response to return Success, but still not contain the expected data in the result. Warning The request that triggered the error was processed successfully but with one or more warnings. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
errorMessage	ErrorMessage	Conditionally	Information for an error or warning that occurred when eBay processed the request.
errorMessage.error	ErrorData	Conditionally, repeatable: [0..*]	Details about a single error.
errorMessage.error.category	ErrorCategory	Conditionally	There are three categories of errors: request errors, application errors, and system errors. Applicable values: Application An error occurred due to a problem with the request, with the most likely source being the application sending the request. For example, the request is missing a required data element or it contains an invalid field. The problem must be corrected before the request can be resent. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is due to an application error, modify the application and resend the request. If the error is due to invalid data, the source of the data must be corrected before you resend the resend request to eBay. Request An error occurred due to a problem with the request, with the most likely source being missing or invalid data in the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be retried. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is a result of end user data, alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the problem. Once the problem is resolved, resend the request to eBay. System Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side. For example, a database or server could be down. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is on the eBay side, an application can retry the request a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
errorMessage.error.domain	string	Conditionally	Name of the domain in which the error occurred.
errorMessage.error.errorId	long	Conditionally	A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms.
errorMessage.error.exceptionId	token	Conditionally	Unique identifier for an exception associated with an error.
errorMessage.error.message	string	Conditionally	A detailed description of the condition that caused the error.
errorMessage.error.parameter	ErrorParameter (string)	Conditionally, repeatable: [0..*]	Various warning and error messages return one or more variables that contain contextual information about the error. This is often the field or value that triggered the error.
errorMessage.error.parameter [ attribute name ]	string	Conditionally	Various warning and error messages return one or more variables that contain contextual information about the error. This is often the field or value that triggered the error.
errorMessage.error.severity	ErrorSeverity	Conditionally	Indicates whether the reported problem is fatal (an error) or is less severe (a warning). Review the error message details for information on the cause. If the request fails and the application is the source of the error (for example, a required element is missing), update the application before you retry the request. If the problem is due to incorrect user data, alert the end user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, resend the request to eBay. If the source of the problem is on eBay's side, you can retry the request a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends you try the request twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, you can resend the request in its original form. If a warning occurs, warning information is returned in addition to the business data. Normally, you do not need to resend the request (as the original request was successful). However, depending on the cause of the warning, you might need to contact the end user, or eBay, to effect a long term solution to the problem. Applicable values: Error eBay encountered a fatal error during the processing of the request, causing the request to fail. When eBay encounters an error, it returns error data instead of the requested business data. Inspect the error details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request. Warning The request was successfully processed, but eBay encountered a non-fatal error during the processing that could affect the data returned. For example, eBay might have changed the value of an input field. In this response, eBay returns a successful response, but it also returns a warning. For best results, requests should return without warnings. Inspect the warning details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
errorMessage.error.subdomain	string	Conditionally	Name of the subdomain in which the error occurred.
timestamp	dateTime	Always	This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ).
version	string	Always	The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request.
