Provide Enhanced Pre-Delete Hook Functionality in APIC to Ensure Data Consistency Across Systems

Currently, when an application is deleted in the APIC Developer Portal, any pre-delete hooks are executed after the relevant application data has already been removed from the APIC database. This creates a significant problem for developers who need to perform actions in external systems (e.g., de-registering applications from SSO systems) based on the deleted application's data.   
As a workaround, developers are forced to directly query the Drupal database to retrieve the necessary information. This introduces tight coupling between the APIC and Drupal systems, making the solution brittle, difficult to maintain, and prone to failure if the Drupal schema changes.   

To address this, IBM should provide a mechanism to ensure that pre-delete hooks have access to the application's data as it exists in the APIC database prior to the deletion operation.

    We've read the support case, and the pre-delete hooks work correctly when the delete is triggered from within the developer portal. However, if the delete is triggered from the API Manager, they won't fire -- and that's not something we can change.


    For this to work properly, the delete must be triggered from the developer portal. Apologies, but this isn't something we can help with.
