Hi Rashmi,

Xpath is the path for a particular field in the XML/XSD.

In User define message search we search the message based on value of a field. So you need to define the Xpath for that field.

Prefix

1. An XML namespace is declared using the reserved XML attribute xmlns or xmlns:prefix , the value of which must be a valid namespace name. Any element or attribute whose name starts with the prefix "xhtml:" is considered to be in the XHTML namespace, if it or an ancestor has the above namespace declaration.

Please refer the below wiki as reference for Xpath

XPATH should be taken of Source Payload field? or Target Payload field?

Hi Rashmi,

AFAIK-its for Source payload. Please refer the following link for details:

It's actually possible for target payload (receiver interface) too. Refer to my responses in the following thread.

Basically, for target payload, you need to set logging for After Mapping (AM) step.
