Archiving process applications in the Process Center console

If a process application is no longer used, you can archive it. When you archive a process application, it no longer appears in the list of all process applications in the Process Center console, and you must restore it before you can open it in the Designer view.

About this task

Note that only the business process definitions of the process application are archived. If the process application contains BPEL processes and the associated instance data has to be archived, follow the instructions in "Archiving completed BPEL process and task instances".

Procedure

To archive a process application:

Select the Process Apps tab.
In the list of process applications, click the process application that you want to archive.
Click the Manage option.
Click the Archive Process App option.
When prompted, click the Archive button to confirm that you want to archive this process application.

Results

The process application is archived.

To view or restore the archived process application, click the Archived filter in the Process Apps tab.

Tip: The restore action brings back only the business process definitions of the process application. If the process application contains BPEL processes and the associated instance data was archived, the restore action does not bring back the archived process instance data.
