SOAPcommunication is non-trivial and requires a certain understanding of XMLand the
SOAPprotocol. Using the SOAPtasks pre-supposes this knowledge and this
documentation does not attempt to provide it.
The Input SOAP Task only responds to a single SOAPaction by the client:SubmitJob. Within
this request however, a secondary action (SubmitSOAPActionName)can be specified - this is
what the SOAPAction corresponds to in this task's 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
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the
input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job
information directly at the beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your
input. These files are saved in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders
under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved
under.
l Delete Existing Metadata:Check to remove any metadata from memory. This option is
disabled on initial input tasks, and is checked by default on secondary input tasks.
