We recently upgraded from Pega 7 to Pega 8 (8.8.3) and found our Integration-Connectors dropdown is missing certain menu options ( ‘connect dotNet’, among others).

We verified that the rules for these are there in Pega but the menu option isn’t loading in the UI.

Hi @CallumSharkey,

Below connect rules are deprecated from Pega 8.8 versions.

- Connect-File
- Connect-EJB
- Connect-JCA
- Connect-Java
- Connect-doNet

Here is the link for your reference. [Pega Documentation - Deprecated Rules](https://docs.pega.com/search?labelkey=8-8&labelkey=platform&labelkey=&personalize=true&q=deprecated&rpp=10&sort.field=score&sort.value=desc)

All the deprecated rules will not be available in the Rules Explorer. If you still find some missing rule types that are not deprecated, you can try flushing out the D\_RulesExplorerData data page / tracing the activity involved with this Data page ?
