You can archive software items by using the software delivery archive option. Using this option, you can archive a closed software item from the Software Package Library. When an item is archived, its icon changes to indicate that it has been archived. Each archived item has the same structure as on the source media (for example, DVD). When a software item is archived, its Source directory is removed, because all files previously residing there are moved to the specified archive location.
After a software item has been archived, it can later be restored using the software delivery restore function. If the software item is still in the same location in which it was archived, then the restore process starts immediately. If it is not, you receive an error message indicating that there is no registration information (reginfo) found at the original archive location.
Note: If the files have been moved, for example, to a tape, you must first retrieve the files and then put them back to a known location before executing the Restore operation.
After a software item has been restored, its icon returns to what it was originally, before the item was archived. The software item's Source directory is also restored.
