How to remove XML tags from a file
I am uploading a document to an AWS S3 bucket from PEGA using a REST connector (PUT method). For the contents of the document, I am decoding the data and assigning it to the .request.body_PUT property.
For example, if I upload a file that contains the text:
"Hi I am a file",
this is the expected content of the uploaded file.
However, when I open the file in S3, I see the following content instead:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pagedata>
<pxObjClass>Hi I am a file</pxObjClass>
</pagedata>
It seems like PEGA is converting the clipboard page to XML and uploading that instead of the raw text.
Is there a way to prevent PEGA from adding these XML tags and upload only the raw content?

Set the REST connector to send a raw body, not a page. On the connector’s Request tab (for PUT), in Message Data / Body, set Map to = String (not XML/Clipboard) and Map from = Property with Map from key = pyRequestBody. In your activity or data transform before the call, put the decoded file text into .pyRequestBody exactly as you want it saved (no page properties). Add the header Content-Type = text/plain (or application/octet-stream for binary). Remove any XML/JSON “Request” mappings or templates and don’t pass a page to .request.body_PUT, because Pega will serialize that page as XML. If you’re using a stream, ensure no DSS or ping transforms are adding wrappers. Test by tracing the Rule-Connect-REST step and confirming pyRequestBody is the only payload being sent.
