This is an IBM Automation portal for Integration products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Dear Team,
Currently as per V10.0.5.5 , we are unable to delete a plan from a product completely and publish the product as during publishing it gives an error stating explicit plan mapping required as plans from draft product and published product differs. Give us the ability to remove the plan completely and then publish the product which makes maintenance easier as removal and deletion of plans is also part and parcel of it.

This is by design. If you were to delete an existing Plan from a given Product the subscription for that Plan would not be mapped to anything in the new Product.
Using the Replace, Supersede, Migration Target, and Migrate Subscriptions all allow for a controlled model to reshape the Products:Plans while maintaining subscriptions even when the Product and/or Plan change name or version.
When making these types of changes it is a recommend approach to version the Products and use the different controls mentioned to migrate subscriptions. When Publishing out the new version the old version can be put into a Deprecated state to prevent new subscriptions.
If the users of the old Product:Plan do not need to be migrated and should just be shut down, the older Product can be Retired and later Deleted.
