Main trouble with reading something like XML from a batch file is the normal parsing is going to get messy with > and < characters in the data. It may be easier to do this in a VB Script frankly? is that an option? If not will see what can be done.
Can you give us the relevant line (at least) of the XML file in question please and what you want to retrieve please.

VBScript is not an option. Here is the xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ConnectionInfo>
<DTSConfigDB>10.0.244.31</
</ConnectionInfo>
I have to read value in <DTSConfigDB>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ConnectionInfo>
<DTSConfigDB>10.0.244.31</
</ConnectionInfo>
I have to read value in <DTSConfigDB>
Ok. Not so bad then maybe...
@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=><" %%a in ('type test.xml ^| find
"<DTSConfigDB>"') do set ip=%%a
echo The IP address is %ip%
