8.2.1 Procedure for building service templates

When you select and build a service template, a service template package is created and imported to the JP1/AO server. You can then debug and test the service template.

Important: If you edit the definition of a plug-in that is placed as a step in a flow, the mapping settings defined for the step might become inconsistent with the step properties. In this case, an error will occur when you build the service template. If an error occurs, resolve the mismatch by reviewing the property settings and plug-in placement.

To build a service template:

In the Service Builder Edit window, click Debug.
In the confirmation window, click OK.

The results of the build process appear in the Build / Release Result dialog box. If the build is successful, the Perform Debugging dialog box appears.

If you want to then debug the service template, click OK in the Perform Debugging dialog box. For details about how to start debugging, see 8.3.5 Procedure for starting debugging.

If you do not want to debug the service template, click Cancel.

If an error occurs during the build process, a message dialog box indicating the cause of the error prompts you to amend the flow. At this time, the Error button appears at the upper right of the Service Builder Edit window. After closing the message dialog box, you can view the message by clicking the Error button. This button remains on screen until you close the Service Builder Edit window.

If the service template you are working with has already been released or deleted by another user, an error occurs and the build process fails.
