Unpublishing Services from Gateways
You can execute a Unpublish action through the following pages:
*Native Service asset details page, the exact rendering of user interface depends on whether or not the Native Service has an immediate Virtual Service.
If the Native Service does not have an immediate Virtual Service, you will be allowed to directly unpublish the Native Service from an API Gateway gateway. If the Native Service has an immediate Virtual Service, you will be directed to select the Virtual Services, and unpublish the selected Virtual Services from Mediator, API Gateway, and Insight Server gateways.
