Hello, I'm currently migrating my company to EA13 (we used EA11/12 since then).
Precision : we use the Ultimate Edition.

While attempting to update our company MDG technology, I discovered that the "Generate MDG Technology" item is missing in Ribbon > Publish > Technology > Publish (its normal place according to the corresponding help page Create MDG Technology File)

I didn't find it anywhere else in any ribbons/menu.

I have checked that "MDG Technology Builder" is activated at EA level (Ribbon > Configure > Technology > Manage), and more generally, all the MDG technologies are currently activated.

I also have checked that "MDG Technology Builder" isn't deactivated at model level (Ribbon > Configure > Model > Options > MDG Technologies).

Does anybody know about this problem... and its solution ?

(Since I still have EA12 at hand, I can generate my MDG update with it but this is only a temporary solution).

I thank anyone in advance for any answer/help.  ;)

search for "menu missing" and you should find a bunch of similar issues.

You DO mean it's missing, not that it is disabled?

I'm running 1309 Ultimate and it is present for me.

Sorry can't be of more use,

Ribbon | Start | Workspace | Perspectives | Show Perspectives Window
Select Menu Sets tab then select Complete under the Menu Sets group

Hello again.
Geert & Paolo, thank you for your help in this post... and in all the other discussions in this forum : I've learnt a lot from you on how to use EA. You really rock guys !

VKN, you mark the point : I have to say that my problem was "sitting between chair and keyboard". The perspective configuration dialog was the only place I didn't look at. With your help, I found out that the checkbox related to the missing menu was unchecked (probably a mistake while customizing after EA13 installation).

So, this wasn't a product bug but a user bug :-\
