SOAP Request Multi Threading - Jobs are not started

PowerShell Help
1

Hello,
The following code works as intended - i.e. every 5s a SOAP request is transmitted to the SOAP Server.

 # Define the SOAP XML request
 [string]$Event = "6";
 $SoapRequest = @"
...
 "@
 
 # Set the content type header for SOAP request
 $SoapHeader = @{
...
 }
 
 [String]$TargetIP  = "173.18.1.3"
 [String]$TargetPRT = "8080"
 [String]$url = "http://"+$TargetIP+":"+$TargetPRT+"/"
 # Loop to send SOAP request every 5 seconds
 while ($true) 
 {
     #SendSOAPRequest
     $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Method Post -Body $SoapRequest -ContentType "text/xml;charset=utf-8" -Headers $SoapHeader
     Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
}

I would like to create 4 threads, each of which is supposed to make a SOAP request. However, with the following code no SOAP Requests are transmitted.

# Define a script block containing the code you want to run in the thread
$threadScriptBlock =  
{ 
    # Loop to send SOAP request every 5 seconds
    param($Url,$SoapRequest,$SoapHeader)

    # ---------------------------------------
    # SOAP request
    # ---------------------------------------
    while ($true)
    {
        $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $Url -Method Post -Body $SoapRequest -ContentType "text/xml;charset=utf-8" -Headers $SoapHeader
        Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
    }
    
}


# ---------------------------------------
# Spawn Threads
# ---------------------------------------
Start-Job -name "A" -Scriptblock $threadScriptBlock -ArgumentList $Url, $SoapRequest, $SoapHeader
Start-Job -name "B" -Scriptblock $threadScriptBlock -ArgumentList $Url, $SoapRequest, $SoapHeader
Start-Job -name "C" -Scriptblock $threadScriptBlock -ArgumentList $Url, $SoapRequest, $SoapHeader
Start-Job -name "D" -Scriptblock $threadScriptBlock -ArgumentList $Url, $SoapRequest, $SoapHeader

With the above code the 4 threads seem are running, however no SOAP requests are issued. Could someone tell me how I have to fix the code, such that each job issues a SOAP request every 5s. Many thanks in advance and Kind regards.
Andrej
