End user is operating Schema Designer to create a new field or table. After creating the schema changes, user then goes into the relevant form to add a new text field that links to the updated field in the schema. However, the same field does not appear under the given object.
Example: user is adding a simple string field "znewfield" to the cr object (Call_Req table). After publishing the schema, customer edits detail_cr.htmpl to add a text field to link to the newly created "znewfield" in the schema. But the "znewfield" field is not listed in the cr object.
Further, running "bop_sinfo -d cr" in a command prompt to list the cr object attributes does not show a "znewfield" attribute. But if one runs "pdm_extract Call_Req" in a command prompt, the "znewfield" field is present. The database backend shows that table Call_Req also has the "znewfield" column added.

After the WSP publish activity, pdm_publish, there should be a wsp.mods file generated in NX_ROOT\site\mods\majic. However, there is a wsp.mods.pub file present.
This issue is addressed in the latest RU updates. The issue is specific to Advance Availability implementations.
As a workaround, one can do the following:
- Stop all SDM Services across all constituent servers.
- Locate and rename the wsp.mods.pub file to wsp.mods (file is located in the NX_ROOT\site\mods\majic directory)
- Start SDM Services back up.
Note: It is advised that all SDM Servers are stopped in order to address the wsp.mods.pub file. We do not recommend attempting to perform a rolling update due to the potential of version control interfering with the wsp.mods.pub file rename.
