Parameters that differ between the simple requests in a batch request are
identified by a reference number. The following parameter declaration syntax
shows where the reference number goes.
OperationName.ReferenceNumber.Parameter=Value
The following request snippet shows an example of a reference number, 1.
ItemLookup.1.ItemId=0976925524
The ReferenceNumber is a positive integer that
associates the parameters in the simple request. For example, the following
parameters are part of the same simple request because they use the same
reference number.
So, if the previous two request snippets were part of one batch request, the
ItemLookup operation would be executed twice, each time
with a different ItemId and
ResponseGroup.
In one batch request, you can have up to two different reference numbers. For
example, the following request snippet exceeds the number of allowed reference
numbers in one batch request.
