Exposure of Web service is removed when we import the updated object in environment

[ManishRaw]

Hi Team,

We have exposed an Object as web service in one of our environments.

When we import the updated object in the environment the exposure of the web service is lost and we had re-expose the same service again.

Is there any way to keep the exposure for the same?

@Manish Rawat,

The reason this happens is that when you import the new VBO I'm guessing your choosing the option to overwrite the existing asset, correct? Well, there's a field, called AttributeID, in the database table that stores the process/VBO info (aka dbo.BPAProcess​) that gets overwritten on import. The value of that field indicates whether the process/VBO is published to Control Room, published as a SOAP web service, etc. When you overwrite the existing object that field's reset to 0.

I'm guessing this is "by design". Hypothetically, you could build a script that updates the table entry after importing an update, but this could introduce any number of issues if not done correctly.

Cheers,
