Error Message dealing with SOAP in BC

[mellis777]

Hi all,

The error message that I am receiving is:

Unable to handle request without a valid action parameter. Please supply a valid soap action.

Are there any ideas what can be done to solve this error? Someone suggested that they think it might have something to do with the SOAP header.

Thanks,

SOAPAction is actually an HTTP header property. It was part of the original SOAP spec but has been deprecated. IS still provides a means of setting the SOAPAction HTTP header property from the pub.client:soapHTTP and pub.client:soapRPC services using the, you guessed it, SOAPAction input parameter.

@IS Built-In Services Guide

Note: The SOAPAction header was required by the initial SOAP specification but has since been deprecated. The Integration Server does not use the SOAPAction header and accepts SOAP messages that omit it. If you are designing a completely new solution, we recommend that you avoid using the SOAPAction header. However, if you exchange SOAP messages with systems that require a SOAPAction header, this parameter allows you to set it.

The provider of the web service will need to tell you what specific value needs to be passed in the SOAPAction property or, if the WSDL has been constructed correctly, it can be found in the soap:Operation/soapAction attribute of the operation you are consuming.

HTH,

Mark
