ClientID is for internal use by Authorize.Net and is not required.

Thank you so much @NexusSoftware...

And I need some Clarification in that,

What's the use of clientID?

Shall I Send it has Null??

If I Sending as Null, Transaction process works good for sanbox Account, My Question is that, whether it affect Transaction in Production Account by sending clientID as Null??

If you are requiring the SOAP web reference, send as null. The sandbox works the same as live.
