How can we convert extracted part from the URL into upper case ?
for the substring we use {{=request_argname.Substring(0,2)}}after using we will get 6ae but we want  this 6AE .

You need to use the segment attributes as shown in the document. I have
sent a detailed explanation with a sample VS in another mail.

Attributes

HTTP-Segment-Attr-0 = email
HTTP-Segment-Attr-1 = [e-mail]
HTTP-Segment-Attr-2 = hello;world=yes;goodbye=no
HTTP-Segment-Attr-3 = ctx(someProp=someValue)
HTTP-Segment-Attr-4 = list

Hi Shivani
           A MAR file has been attached herewith. Please download this file, rename it as CommunityQuestion.mar and then place this file in LISA_HOME/vseDeploy folder. Once done, a VS should come up on port 17008.

You may just open your browser and invoke the url: http://localhost:17008/api/vi/678a5fvg76

The VS responds with last part of URL in upper case. 

Please go through the script step in the VSM that shows how to access parts of the request URL.

Hi Shivani

You can have a script step if you want to tweak the response by using parts
of the URL.

Please just place the attached MAR file that has a simple VS that extracts
the last part of the URL and then returns the UPPERCASE form of it.

for ex: If the URL is : http://localhost:17008/api/v1/helloworld

Then the VS returns HELLOWORLD as response.

This is just a reference to understand how to extract parts of the URL
using API calls. Please inspect and understand the script step in the VSM
design.

To deploy this MAR file, just place the MAR file in LISA_HOME/vseDeploy
folder. The VS would start listening on port 17008.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sample output from the VS.
