Task properties
General Tab
l
SOAP Action: The SOAP action is used with the SubmitJob action. It’s the equivalent of
the process name. The difference is that more than one processes can share the same
SOAP action. That way more than 1 CPU can be used to process all the incoming
requests however this means that all process sharing the same SOAP action must be
identical because there is no way to decide the execution order of all the process.
"Other" Tab

Job Information group
