SPE Transformation Service adding CDATA for Process Data update

CDATA is adding a prefix in process data for ITXA transformation when actual data contains "&" in the input file which is causing the issue.

Currently, with SI transformation/translation service, the prefix is not getting added.

However, in the case of ITXA transformation service, the CDATA prefix is getting added to the process data.

Due to the CDATA issue, we are unable to retrieve or parse the process data, causing the misbehavior or failure later in the process flow.

As per the dev team, this is working as per design, and this is a new enhancement request.
