One of my client wants me to upload and maintain the variations of the products on Amazon. I am stuck in creating relationship(Variations) feed. I have googled it for many hours but with no luck.
I can easily generate and upload simple product, inventory, image and price feeds successfully through MWS, but my concept regarding variation feeds is not clear.
To simplify, my client has a product say "ABC" with two different colors (Black,Red). The ABC is not yet Registered on Amazon. The client has EAN for this product to list on amazon and also show the two different variations.
Now if any body can help me out as how to make the feeds to reflect the variations.
Please explain with practical code example.
Thanks
you can use following XML to create relationship.Use "_POST_PRODUCT_RELATIONSHIP_DATA_" as type of feed
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
<Header>

If i add ProductType to the script with some value it thorws Invalid content was found starting with element 'ProductType' error.

Kindly provide some help in fixing this issue.
Thanks.
Your XML is valid (except it has the final </Message></AmazonEnvelope> missing)
To add a product to Amazon which is not currently there, you will need to provide the ProductType structure. The following is a minimal valid XML containing one: only changes are after </DescriptionData>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">

I'm trying to update the Amazon Merchant Order ID through the Feed API.
It was succesfully submitted and I've checked the response from Amazon MWS Scratchpad by check with the GetFeedSubmissionResult call. it returned that the process was completed without any erro.
But when I open my order in Amazon (sellercentral.amazon.com) it says "none saved": Your Merchant Order ID: # none saved
Nothing have been changed.
Your XML feed (provided in your comment) is missing the <Item> elements. Amazon wants you to acknowledge that you have not only received the order, but also all contained items. A complete XML feed should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">
<Header>
<DocumentVersion>1.01</DocumentVersion>
<MerchantIdentifier>M_xxxxx_114513393</MerchantIdentifier>
</Header>
<MessageType>OrderAcknowledgement</MessageType>
<Message>
<MessageID>1</MessageID>
<OrderAcknowledgement>
<AmazonOrderID>114-8862878-1197857</AmazonOrderID>
<MerchantOrderID>abc-402637</MerchantOrderID>
<StatusCode>Success</StatusCode>
<Item> <-- you need to repeat the "Item" element for each order line
<AmazonOrderItemCode>abc</AmazonOrderItemCode>
<MerchantOrderItemID>def</MerchantOrderItemID> <-- I'm not sure this is required, but haven't tried without
</Item>
</OrderAcknowledgement>
</Message>
</AmazonEnvelope>
( the <-- ... comments are not part of the actual feed)

I've been trying to add members to the wiki to no avail. Here's the link to the instructions on how to do so:
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Connections+4.5+API+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Updating_a_wiki_ic45&content=pdcontent
Basically, what I need to do is to retrieve the wiki first using this URL:
connectionsURL/wikis/basic/api/wiki/{wiki-label}/entry
And then append the information there and then send it back using a PUT request, Content-Type: application/atom+xml. The content passed should look like the one below based on the example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<id>ignore</id>
<td:label xmlns:td="urn:ibm.com/td">Lake Champlain</td:label>
<category term="wiki" scheme="tag:ibm.com,2006:td/type" label="wiki">

I tried that and I always keep getting this 400 Bad Request response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<td:error>
<td:errorCode>InvalidRequest</td:errorCode>
<td:errorMessage>Atom entry is null</td:errorMessage>
</td:error>
Try this API - https://conServer.com/wikis/basic/api/wiki/{WIKI_LABEL}/members
Then do a PUT on that resource to change the entries (I think type should be atom/xml or atom+cat/xml
Thanks

I'm aware that this answer is late, but I just had another question today that led me here, and while this didn't help me, I believe I can answer this question anyway. So here goes:
You can find the XSD -- which is the xml schema file -- here: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/rainier/help/xsd/release_4_1/ProductClothing.xsd
The special thing about this, which is different from JSON is that this has the :sequence attribut. This means that it is important which order the elements go into the xml file.
In the ColorSize variation theme, the VariationTheme block should look like this:
<VariationData>
<Parentage>child</Parentage>
<Size>S</Size>
<Color>White</Color>
<VariationTheme>SizeColor</VariationTheme>
</VariationData>
When I use the Search.asmx web service it won't allow me to search MetaData. Is there a way that I can do this?
Below is what I have come up with so far for my query, but it errors out with an InvalidPropertyException every time I run it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<QueryPacket xmlns="urn:Microsoft.Search.Query" Revision="1000">
<Query domain="QDomain">
<SupportedFormats><Format>urn:Microsoft.Search.Response.Document.Document</Format></SupportedFormats>
<Context>
<QueryText language="en-US" type="MSSQLFT">
<![CDATA[ SELECT Title, Rank, Size, Description, Write, Path FROM portal..scope() WHERE "Published" = 'Yes' ORDER BY "Rank" DESC ]]>
</QueryText>
</Context>
<Range><StartAt>1</StartAt><Count>20</Count></Range>
<EnableStemming>false</EnableStemming>
<TrimDuplicates>true</TrimDuplicates>
<IgnoreAllNoiseQuery>true</IgnoreAllNoiseQuery>
<ImplicitAndBehavior>true</ImplicitAndBehavior>
<IncludeRelevanceResults>true</IncludeRelevanceResults>
<IncludeSpecialTermResults>true</IncludeSpecialTermResults>
<IncludeHighConfidenceResults>true</IncludeHighConfidenceResults>
</Query></QueryPacket>
You can't just search an arbitrary column of metadata, you need to make sure it gets crawled first and is made available under a sensible name (managed property). See this blog post for an example.
Also, if Published is a boolean, I think you might want to test "Published" = 1, in stead of yes.
