  Cause:
  
  Service Definition Not Released: The service definition has been created but has not been released for use. This can happen if the service was created in a development environment and not moved to production or if it was not activated properly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Service Registry or the Service Definition itself that prevent it from being released.
