Not seeing New -> WSD option in designer 10.1, how to check installation changes needed ?

We are using web methods TN, Broker(pub-sub) and Designer for EDI transactions. Since we are using pub-sub model, we dont have any web service calls, but When I wanted to try a web service as part of POC, I am not seeing new → WSD option. I thinking it is because of installation difference, But how could I find which are all needed to be installed to enable option to create WSD and expose as web service. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Pradeep ,

The option ‘New->Web Service Descriptor’ should come , if the installation has ‘Service Development 10.1’ included while installing Designer.
You can check that if ‘DeveloperPlugins.zip’ is available by navigating ‘SAG_Directory\Designer\updates’ folder in your environment.
If not present you can install that using Software AG Installer and select Designer->Services->Service Development 10.1’.

Please let me know if it work.

Thanks

Hi Anasua,
Thanks for sharing your thought. I checked in software AG installation directory and I have DeveloperPlugins.zip in the path C:\SoftwareAG101\Designer\updates\DeveloperPlugins.zip. Even then I am not seeing New → WSD option. I tried comparing my “Help → Installation Details” with my colleague installation Details and I didn’t find anything missing.

Only difference between them and me is they all are upgraded from 9.8 version to 10.1 but I directly installed 10.1. My infra team says both are separate installations and it is not like replacing 9.8 with 10.1.Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Pradeep ,

I have just installed 10.1 designer in my system. The ‘New->Web Service Descriptor’ option is coming as expected.
Can you please check if your workspace is in ‘Service Development’ perspective . There should be a blue arrow symbol in top right corner. If not you can change from the top menu ‘Window → Perspective → Open Perspective → Other → Service Development’.

Thanks

Hi Anasua, In-turn to your comment below,

I been working in service development perspective for developing flow service which you can see from the screen shot attached in my previous post.

Hi Pradeep ,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot.
I have observed the ‘REST API Descriptor’ option is also not available for you.
Could you please tell me what is the fix level you have in your IS ?

Thanks
