MultiSubmitXml provides the same functionality as SubmitXml, except that it takes multiple XML requests. MultiSubmitXml takes a Host Access Profile (HAP), multiple XML requests, and a filter. In MultiSubmitXml, the filter parameters are stated within the XML request. Refer to the sample of MultiSubmitXml for an example of a request.
MultiSubmitXml allows users to send multiple, sessionless structured data transactions within a single web service call. The following restrictions apply:
It does not respond until all of the transactions respond, which means that the caller must wait for the slowest transaction to return before getting results to any of the transactions.
It can only be used for unrelated transactions. All transactions may (or may not) be sent simultaneously, and there is no particular order expressed nor implied.
Terminal transactions are not supported.
Sessioned transactions are not supported.
If you are submitting multiple XML requests, use MultiSubmitXml rather than multiple SubmitXml requests. MultiSubmitXml returns the same response, but uses the server resources more efficiently and has better performance. Also, Galileo Web Services servers can handle a limited number of HTTP requests; therefore, using MultiSubmitXml rather than multiple SubmitXml requests increases the effective capacity of these servers.
Note: To indicate special characters in a request or response, refer to the Special Characters Table.
The following is a sample SOAP request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values.
