Known Issue: Custom Analytics Collection Solution Builder generates improper elements within the generated ExtractVariables policy

[#1]

If Using the Solution Builder: Custom Analytics Collection wizard (found under the Tools menu when on the Develop tab of an API proxy) to define more than one variable taken from a JSONPayload, the generated ExtractVariables policy will be built incorrectly for the <JSONPayload> element.

Here's an example via Screen shot.

This is the generated ExtractVariables policy code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ExtractVariables async="false" continueOnError="true" enabled="true" name="__extract-statistics-request__">
    <!-- Created by the Custom Analytics Collection tool on: Fri Feb 06 2015 17:13:32 GMT-0800 (PST) -->
    <DisplayName>Extract Statistics Request</DisplayName>
    <JSONPayload>
        <Variable name="_jsonPayloadAction" type="string">
            <JSONPath>$.records[0].headerAction</JSONPath>
        </Variable>
    </JSONPayload>
    <JSONPayload>
        <Variable name="_jsonPayloadLocalTimestamp" type="string">
            <JSONPath>$.records[0].localTimestamp</JSONPath>
        </Variable>
    </JSONPayload>
</ExtractVariables>

The result of the wizard is that it created two <JSONPayload> elements. The result of this is that only the bottom Variable (_jsonPayloadLocalTimestamp) will be populated. The first one will be empty.

Fix

Until we can get this wizard issue corrected, please adjust the generated policy so that it has only one <JSONPayload> element as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ExtractVariables async="false" continueOnError="true" enabled="true" name="__extract-statistics-request__">
    <!-- Created by the Custom Analytics Collection tool on: Fri Feb 06 2015 17:13:32 GMT-0800 (PST) -->
    <DisplayName>Extract Statistics Request</DisplayName>
    <JSONPayload>
        <Variable name="_jsonPayloadAction" type="string">
            <JSONPath>$.records[0].headerAction</JSONPath>
        </Variable>
        <Variable name="_jsonPayloadLocalTimestamp" type="string">
            <JSONPath>$.records[0].localTimestamp</JSONPath>
        </Variable>
    </JSONPayload>
</ExtractVariables>
