Ensure that the interface for the native service is completely implemented and that interface is reflected in the WSDL or schema file that is registered for the service in the CentraSite registry.

An instance of the service is deployed and running at a known point in network.

The metadata for the native service is valid and up-to-date. If the metadata for the native service has not been completely specified or is out-of-date, you should update it before you generate the virtual service so that you do not carry inaccurate/incomplete data into the virtual service.

This is of specific relevance to virtual REST and XML based service assets. Beginning with version 9.7, CentraSite Control does not support the following out-of-the-box asset types: REST Service, XML Service, Virtual REST Service, and Virtual XML Service. This is because, CentraSite Control does not support the enhanced interface for REST and XML service assets (in contrast, earlier versions of CentraSite Control supported a standardized interface for REST and XML service assets). Documentation of the prior REST and XML service interface is available to Software AG customers who have a current maintenance contract in Empower, Software AG's global extranet (http://empower.softwareag.com/).
