Undeploy an API instance

Last published : Sep 26, 2026
You can use the Undeploy option when you want to remove the API instance configuration from a NetScaler instance but keep the API instance objects in NetScaler Console as draft. This action sets the deployment status to In Draft. And, it can be applied only to the deployed API instance configurations.
Important:
  • Before you undeploy an API deployment, make sure all the associated API policies are undeployed or deleted. See, Undeploy an API policy.
  • Before you undeploy an API proxy, make sure all the associated API deployments are undeployed or deleted. See, Undeploy an API Deployment.
