Secure API Manager allows you to deprecate APIs so that no new subscriptions can be made to the deprecated APIs. People that currently have subscriptions to the deprecated APIs still see the deprecated APIs in the Store. The deprecated APIs can stay in this state until you are ready to retire them.
You can depreciate an API when you publish a new version of the API or after you have published the API. For more information on how to deprecate an API when you create a new version, see Changing the Version of an API.
To deprecate the API after you have published a new version:
Log in to the Publisher using the account your Secure API Manager administrator gave you.
https://lifecycle-manager-dns-name:9444/publisherClick the name of the API you want to deprecate to see the details of the API.
Click the Lifecycle tab, then click Deprecate and read the warning.
IMPORTANT:You can move an API to the retired state only after you deprecate an API. You cannot move a deprecated API back to a published state.
Click Yes to finish the process.
You can still view the API in the Publisher. You can see the state of each API when you first log into the Publisher.
