So the problem is the body which is returned from integration.

See formatted XML

Below works but it's not good for long time solution.

var response = inputs.response_body.toString();

var xmldoc = new XMLDocument(response);

if(xmldoc.toString().indexOf('name=') > -1){
	var nm1 = (xmldoc.toString().split('name="')[1]);
	var nm2 = (nm1.toString().split('"')[0]);
	outputs.groupname = nm2;
}

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar

in script step: i trying to fetch an element from the xml generated in SOAP step. but i am unable to mapp it with the output:

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
// ... code ...
var responseBody=inputs.response_body;

var xmlDoc = new XMLDocument2();
xmlDoc.parseXML(responseBody);
gs.info(xmlDoc.getNodeText("//name"));

//var xmldoc = new XMLDocument2(responseBody, true);
//var str = xmldoc.getNodeText("//association/name"); // returns the first occurence of the node

outputs.groupname = xmlDoc.getNodeText("//name");
})(inputs, outputs);
