IT40760: SET VARIABLE POLICY DOES NOT WORK FOR XML PAYLOADS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After migration of the api with the IBM migration tool, are
  facing some issues during execution of messages in API Connect
  version 10.
  
  Add an invoke policy after the parse,  prior to the setvariable,
   message.body as the JSON object from the backend,
  request.parsed_body remains as XML document.
  
  After the set variable, message.body is now null.
    - set-variable:
           version: 2.0.0
           title: set-variable
           actions:
             - set: message.body
               value: $(request.parsed_body)
               type: any
  

Local fix

• recommend they use gatewayscript. So replace the set-variable
  after invoke with a gatewayscript that has the following code:
  context.set("message.body", context.get("request.parsed_body"));
  

Problem summary

• Setvar action cannot handle xml payload.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 2018.4.1.21, 10.0.1.8 and 10.5.0.1
