User Defined API option not showing in the System Center

I’ve upgraded our staging DMA to 10.3.6 and then to 10.3.7 but neither of the versions displays the User Defined API option in the System Center. I checked the installation logs and no errors. Manually re-installed the feature using the DataMiner UserDefinableApiEndpoint msi installer but no improvement. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Hi Pawel,

Could you check if you have enabled the required permissions?
Source: the first note of this documentation.

Example of such security group:

EDIT/UPDATE
To enable User-Defined APIs on your DMA, you need to have indexing database (Elastic).
More information can be found here.

Hope this will help you further

Hi Pawel,

Could you check if you have the permissions for the User-Defined APIs feature? https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Advanced_Functionality/Security/DataMiner_user_permissions.html#modules–user-defined-apis

User-Defined APIs module require the indexing engine to be installed and enabled on the DMA.

After I’ve installed the Elastic search package the User-Defined APIs feature is available.

Hi Matthias and Thomas,

I have admin access, but User-Defined APIs is not listed under Modules.

Matthias Declerck [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 12th July 2023

This is strange indeed.
Could you close your Cube session, open Cube launcher, on bottom right corner click on coghweel and do a cleanup (select alll on top right corner).
After that, navigate to your 10.3.7 DMA. If all went well, you should have experienced a “downloading” progress adorner before Cube is launched.
I do hope this will resolve the issue.

Pawel Bochenek [DevOps Enabler] commented 12th July 2023

Unfortunately no change after the cleanup.

Below are version details.

Server version : 10.3.7.0-13107
Client version : 10.3.2321.2338-b1eca9f1
Launcher version : 10.3.2314.214-bc8d8705
