Input SOAP
The Input SOAP task is used to answer calls from a remote SOAP client and to return a response to
that request. It is similar in functionality to the "HTTP Server Input" on page601 task.
Note: 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 properties.
