If you are assigned the Deployer or Admin role, you can deactivate a managed API group and its operations. You can view, edit, activate, or delete a deactivated managed API.
You can deactivate a managed API group when the API is in the deprecated state. You can activate and use an inactive managed API group.
After you deactivate a managed API group, the API group is no longer available in the API gateway and all calls to the API group will fail. Ensure that you notify the API consumers about the impending deactivation of the managed API group before deactivating the API to prevent disruptions and enable them to make necessary adjustments.
If the deactivation fails, the status of the managed API group doesn't change. You can't view the operation level status of a managed API group.
You can use the Show Inactive API Groups toggle button to see the list of inactive or deactivated APIs.
1On the API Groups page, select the Managed API Groups tab.
2Click the Actions menu on the row of the managed API group and select Deactivate Managed API Group.
The Update <managed_API_Group_name> Lifecycle Status dialog box appears.
3On the Inactive tab, enter one or more valid email addresses.
No email communications are sent to these email addresses. You can use the Email Address field as a placeholder to add the email addresses. You can refer to the placeholder email addresses when you want to send a notification to the API consumers externally.
