WSDL Definition does not contain the service

Troubleshooting


Problem

When uploading a WSDL .zip file to the API Manager to create the API, you are getting an error that says
The WSDL definition does not contain the service 'Service_Name' requested 
by the wsdl_service query parameter.

Symptom

You see the following error:
The WSDL definition does not contain the service 'Service_Name' requested 
by the wsdl_service query parameter.

Cause

It is likely that your WSDL definition file does not contain the service block.
It would look like so:
...
   <wsdl:service name="HelloService">
     <wsdl:port binding="intf:HelloSoapBinding" name="Hello">
       <wsdlsoap:address location="http://127.0.0.1:2048/HelloSvc/HelloService"/>

    </wsdl:port>

  </wsdl:service>

</wsdl:definitions>
If the service is described outside the main WSDL definition, this error can also appear.
The best practice is to keep the service in the main file definition.
