Public API to unarchive configurations and other artifacts both global and local

We have implemented java program to archive configuration hierarchy both global and local.

When we tried to implement restore solution, we are not able to find public API that allows to unarchive/restore a configuration.

It's very important to have the restore function available through API, for easier restore of hierarchies

    The gap is to do with the huge amount of snapshots and streams that will need to be archived to leverage Jena Index reduction in CLM 6.x.

    Also for enterprises, that plan to have a regular cleanup of active configurations on regular basis on some criteria, it is important to automate such actions. We cannot expect 100s of configurations to be manually archived OR restored. This will continue to be valid use case, even if Jena cleanup is no longer a scenario in 7.x platform.

    We implemented utility to archive using public APIs. We also have need to restore an entire hierarchy of configurations, in case of need.

    In this case, there's no public API to implement this. To enable a maintained utility, we need to have public API to restore configurations.

    Can you explain the use case you are trying to solve by using these APIs? Is there some underlying gap in the product we should be considering?

    Please clarify: what is the use case for needing to un-archive? It's our assumption that it's a rare and unusual situation to need to un-archive. Do you see it similarly? If not, please elaborate
