Deploying a custom service

I am trying to create and deploy a service and I can’t seem to get it to deploy. I am using the Deploy Tool per the instructions found in the Development Manual under the ‘Deploying Libraries, Interfaces, and Services’ section. I have created the DLP project, set the properties, and made the archive. Now I am trying to deploy, but the Deploy menu item under Server Components is unavailable, as is the Properties menu item under Deployer menu in the Deployer tab. Is there something I am missing? Is there a tutorial available for creating a service? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
