Inconsistencies in creating an instance from a Service Offering

[valiparsa]

Description

We deployed our Apps to the CF environment which has dependencies in creating an instance of a Service Offering. Now we want to update Plan of an existing service instance by running another cf deploy ... command but we observed some inconsistencies in updating the existing service instance.
In the first place we observed that it tried to update the Plan but provided an empty parameter {} although we pass a parameter. After receiving an error from the Service Broker it retries but this time it passes the correct parameter in the request but with the existing (old) Plan. Due to a parameter validation which we have in our Service Broker the second retry also failed.

Your environment

• MultiApps CF CLI Plugin version - 3.2.2
• which CF vendor is used - SAP

Steps to reproduce

• Deploy an app which has a dependency to a Service.
• Update the Plan of the service in the mtaext yaml file and execute another cf deploy ... command to update the Plan of the existing Service.

This seems to be an uninteded effect of the deploy-service performing the updates to the service instance parameters and service instance plan in separate requests. Opened an internal issue to fix this, for the time being a workaround would be to create a separate new service instance with the desired plan and parameters and remove the old one by passing '--delete-services' to the deploy command.
