Use gawk, nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris:

1.

Code:

awk '/<OKAY>/ { 
  sub(/>[^>]*$/, "")
  n = split($0, t, "/")
  print t[n]   
  }' infile

2.

Code:

awk '!NF { f = 0 }
/^!ENTRY.*<INFO>/ {
  sub(/>[^>]*$/, "")
  sub(/.*RESOURCE: /, "")
  print; f = 1
  }  
f && /!SUBENTRY/ { f++ }   
f > 1 && sub(/!MESSAGE /, "")
' infile
