Archiving tracks in the Process Center console

If a track is no longer used, you can archive it. The option for that track no longer appears in the Tracks drop-down menu for the process application or toolkit. If only two tracks exist for a process application or toolkit and you archive one of them, the Tracks drop-down menu is no longer displayed. You must restore an archived track before you can open it in IBM® Process Designer.

Before you begin

To archive a track, you must have write or administrative access to the process application or toolkit.

About this task

When you archive a track, the authoring data in all its snapshots including the tip is archived and cannot be used. Instance data is not archived. You cannot run the artifacts, for example, processes and services, of an archived track.
