Generic view of XML document:

XPath for using in report:

Normal XPath query will not work for this report. Some changes are required in XPath.

Only values will be searched, attributes are not searched using this report.

1.      Remove the root node, this is added by the system automatically.

The query now becomes like this: /CreditCommitment/DebtorParty/InternalID/text()

2.      The leading ‘/’ is also not required.

The query is: CreditCommitment/DebtorParty/InternalID/text()

3.      Also the ‘/text()’ is not required.

The query becomes: CreditCommitment/DebtorParty/InternalID
