Work-In-Progress Service
If a service is still under construction, users can define it as a Work in Progress (WIP) to prevent it being listed as a faulty service. Faulty services are shown in the information bar of the Deployed Services Page. For information on faulty services, refer to the Accessing Services section.
A service can be defined as a WIP while creating it using the Management Console. Follow the instructions below to create a WIP data service.
