Hi,
Please Explain me what is SOAP action in soap adapter what is the use of it.
As of W3C definition:
The SOAPAction HTTP request header field can be used to indicate the intent of the SOAP HTTP request. The value is a URI identifying the intent. SOAP places no restrictions on the format or specificity of the URI or that it is resolvable. An HTTP client MUST use this header field when issuing a SOAP HTTP Request.
The presence and content of the SOAPAction header field can be used by servers such as firewalls to appropriately filter SOAP request messages in HTTP. The header field value of empty string ("") means that the intent of the SOAP message is provided by the HTTP Request-URI. No value means that there is no indication of the intent of the message.
Putting things simple, this is an identifier of an operation that you want to execute in the web service (as one web service can offer multiple actions).
What is the Program ID in the RFC communication channel and what is the use of it.
Again, this is an identifier for both: RFC sender and receiver systems. It tells the receiver where to listen for connections, and the sender - where to send the data. It works a little bit like a port number in HTTP communication, but with less restrictions.
Hope this helps,
Greg
