🗑️ Disable Services

Disabling a service in SPACE is a terminal operation that should only be performed when the service is no longer intended to operate.

As explained in the pricing management guide, each service must always have at least one active pricing version. This ensures that active customers remain subscribed to a valid configuration.

However, if the service itself is being phased out —meaning there is no longer a need for any active pricing— you can proceed to disable it. Once disabled:

  • The service will no longer appear in the list of services in the SPACE UI.
  • No new contracts can be created for it.
  • Existing contracts will not be able to operate within the service.
  • The service will only be accessible through the SPACE API using the endpoints documented in the API Reference.

This guide will walk you through the process of disabling a service.

1. Open the Services Management Panel​

Go to the Services Management tab in the left sidebar.

Select the service you want to update (in this example, PetClinic).

2. Access the Service Details​

Click on the service card to open its details.

Here you’ll find the list of existing pricing versions for that service.

3. Add a New Version​

Click the ⋮ (three-dot menu) at the top-right corner and select Disable Service. Then confirm the action.

Requirements

This action will make the service disappear from the services list and prevent any new contracts from being created for it. Existing contracts will remain active until they expire or are cancelled.

🔄 Re-enabling a Disabled Service​

If you later create a "new service" with a pricing that coincides in saasName with a disabled service, SPACE will automatically bring that service back online —under the following conditions:

  • The uploaded pricing must have the same saasName as the disabled service.
  • The pricing’s version must be different from any versions that were already archived for that service.

When this happens:

  • The new pricing version will be set as the only active version.
  • All previously archived versions will remain archived and attached to the service.

This mechanism allows you to safely revive services if their pricing strategy changes in the future.
