Hi,

did you make sure to restart Apama? This is not done by default but there is a --restart parameter:

> <https://github.com/Cumulocity-IoT/apama-analytics-builder-block-sdk/blob/rel/10.16.0.x/doc/030-BuildingExtensions.md>

If you did restart, can you check the apama-ctrl microservice log for any errors after startup?

There was a mistake in the $blockCategory as there is difference in the Category Shown on the Analytic Builder page and actual mapping as  
The following table lists the allowed values for `@$blockCategory` and the category names that are shown in the model editor’s palette:

| Value | Name in the palette |
| --- | --- |
| Input | Input |
| Output | Output |
| Logic | Logic |
| Calculations | Calculation |
| Aggregates | Aggregate |
| Flow Manipulation | Flow Manipulation |
| Utilities | Utility |
