Hi Kunal,

You are perfectly right that MA is necessary to publish your information 
that could be seen then via e.g. psUI.

As Fausto already wrote we would like to know which release you used and 
 what kind of requests sent?
Does the response file contain any useful information like error message?
Are you sending request directly from CLI using ant scripts (it will not 
print out data as it is only visible in the response file) or maybe via 
psUI Playground tab?

Regards,
