This is very odd...
I don't see the data_create action with Rules 2.1 installed, nor can I remember ever seeing it in any installation; so, I don't think it was affected by a recent change. The only time I remember seeing it was in the Rules Clients' SOAP documentation. It doesn't look like there are any issues with users talking about it, only fago and klausi developing it in #849464: Action to produce data then #952160: Notices on data create action.

Can anyone please confirm this unexpected behavior??

the problem was I missed the step to add the WS (SOAP) description. after doing it it showed the option.

The "Create a data structure" action is only available when a module provides a hook_rules_data_info() that defines a non-entity data structure. And that's exactly what happens when you take the 'missing step' of adding the web services description - the wsclient module has it's own wsclient_rules_data_info() where it exposes to Rules any web services descriptions you've configured.
