We consume services from a upstream system and now they are not accepting null tags ex: </EmployeeName>. So we have to remove these tags in request xml for all the services which we are consuming from them. So i though of using this DSS which worked well . But this change should not impact other connect soap rules which are consumed from other systems. Here comes the problem. 

Approach-2

We tried to make change in Data transform while initializing values, checking if value exists ,set value else skip step. This works perfect but doing this change for multiple services is a huge effort for us. Please suggest .
