The asynchronous socket transport is primarily used in Messaging Client tools. The transport is configured in the Messaging Clientmessaging client's Transport tab. Choose Choose Asynchronous Socket from the Transport menu and configure the available options.

| Protocol | Specifies the protocol used to transmit messages. Options are Default: |
|---|---|
| Host | Specifies the host where the application is running. You can specify a fixed value or programmatically specify the host by choosing Scripted and clicking Edit Script to access the script editor. See Extensibility or Scripting Basics for additional information. Default: |
| Port | Specifies the port on the host where the client will send messages. You can specify a fixed value or programmatically specify the port number by choosing Scripted and clicking Edit Script to access the script editor. See Extensibility or Scripting Basics for additional information. |
| Character Set | Specifies the character set used for encoding messages. You can specify a fixed value or programmatically specify the character set by choosing Scripted and clicking Edit Script to access the script editor. See Extensibility or Scripting Basics for additional information. Default: |
| Read Mode | Specifies the Specifies the mode for reading messages.
You can specify a fixed value or programmatically specify the read mode by choosing Scripted and clicking Edit Script to access the script editor. See Extensibility or Scripting Basics for additional information. Default: |
...
| Length of the Length Field | Determines the length of the length field. The desired number of bytes will be read and converted to a number to determine the length of the message. You can specify the following values: The default is to read 4 bytes and convert it to an integer. |
|---|---|
| Include Length Field Size in Length | Indicates if the length read should also include the length field size. For example, if the option is enabled, a 4-byte message would send a length value of 8. This is because the default length of the length field is 4 bytes and will be added to the message body length. Default: |
| Format of Static Prefix/Suffix | Specifies the type of conversion used to convert the static prefix/suffix into bytes.
Default: |
| Static Prefix | Specifies a prefix segment to be added to the message that may be required. If specified, the message format will be <PREFIX_BYTES><LENGTH_FIELD_BYTES><MESSAGE_DATA_BYTES>. |
| Static Suffix | Specifies a suffix segment to be added to the message that may be required. If specified, the message format will be <LENGTH_FIELD_BYTES><MESSAGE_DATA_BYTES><SUFFIX_BYTES>. |

Typically, this transport is used in a SOAtest messaging client to send one message as configured in the request tab and then wait to receive one message in response. However, sometimes a server may reply with multiple messages or even none at all. In these asynchronous cases use one or more of the following configurations (as applicable):
- Send one message without waiting to receive a message from the server in reply by setting the Read Mode to
none. - Skip sending a message and simply wait to receive the next message from the server by setting the Request tab to Literal, enabling Text, and leaving the text field empty.
- Enable Keep connection alive in Connection Management to avoid missing any messages sent by the server in between tests.
...
- Use Test Suite Flow Logic to loop through reading a dynamic number of messages from the server.
