Answer 1

Hi Sel

The HTTP 500 Internal Server Error indicates the application you are tests throws an exception. It's very likely that you have found a bug of the application. You can report it to the developers so that they can fix it.

Answer 2

Is it possible to use regular expression for the id(thats in bold and underlined and in italic) in the request?

example:
<?sXml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Header><CrmAuthenticationToken xmlns="http&#58;&#47;&#47;schemas.microsoft.com&#47;crm&#47;2007&#47;WebServices"><AuthenticationType xmlns="http&#58;&#47;&#47;schemas.microsoft.com&#47;crm&#47;2007&#47;CoreTypes">0</AuthenticationType><CrmTicket xmlns="http&#58;&#47;&#47;schemas.microsoft.com&#47;crm&#47;2007&#47;CoreTypes"></CrmTicket><OrganizationName xmlns="http&#58;&#47;&#47;schemas.microsoft.com&#47;crm&#47;2007&#47;CoreTypes">MAJORDLRTEST</OrganizationName><CallerId xmlns="http&#58;&#47;&#47;schemas.microsoft.com&#47;crm&#47;2007&#47;CoreTypes">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</CallerId></CrmAuthenticationToken></soap:Header><soap:Body><Execute xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices'><Request xsi:type='SetStateDynamicEntityRequest'><Entity><Id xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2006/CoreTypes'>{DD2B4CC2-AE75-4983-9A2D-7BE01D0E6EA5}</Id><Name xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2006/CoreTypes'>task</Name></Entity><State>Completed</State><Status>5</Status></Request></Execute></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>


and the response for the request is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Server was unable to process request.</faultstring><detail><error>
  <code>0x80040217</code>
  <description>ActivityPointer With Id = dd2b4cc2-ae75-4983-9a2d-7be01d0e6ea5 Does Not Exist</description>
  <type>Platform</type>
</error></detail></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

Extract Rules work on the Response, not the Request. You need to look at the previous Response to determine how to extract DD2B4CC2-AE75-4983-9A2D-7BE01D0E6EA5. Note that, depending how the site is coded, this data may not be in the response immediately preceding the Request, so you may need to search for it.
