Extracting XML values from Action Request

Current IPA process is taking action request and passing that ParameterView from the action request using JSONCONVERTER to convert XML->JSON, then using JSONPARSER to extract the values. This was working up until new formatting was introduced in the action request that is causing the JSONPARSER to fail because of the format on certain values.

Has anyone extracted XML from an action request using IPA to extract certain values associated with the field? If anyone has a working example on extracting XML from an action request, would you mind sharing?

I use something like this: JobApplication = ParameterView.substr(ParameterView.indexOf("id=JobApplication><[CDATA[")+26,8).replace(/D/g,'')

Pam's is very similar to how I've pulled the data. For my IPA I extract a bunch of variables at many points in the flow so I built a sub flow, and in that sub flow I have an assign tab with the following function:

function BuildVariable(SearchString){
var intStart = strParameterView.indexOf(SearchString) + SearchString.length + 9;
return substring(strParameterView,intStart,intStart + substring(strParameterView,intStart).indexOf(']]>'));
}

and then I simply call it by The following Using PostDate as an example:

PostDate = BuildVariable('<field name="PostDate" id="PostDate">')
