UnarchiveDomain API

Un-archives a previously archived domain/library, making it an active online library again. This operation changes the library's archive status flag, allowing regular user access and document operations to resume.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/UnarchiveDomain

Methods

• GET /srv.asmx/UnarchiveDomain?authenticationTicket=...&domainName=...
• POST /srv.asmx/UnarchiveDomain (form data)
• SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/UnarchiveDomain

Parameters

Response

Success Response

<response success="true" error="" />

Error Response

<response success="false" error="[ErrorCode] Error message" />

Required Permissions

Administrator only. Only the system administrator can un-archive domains/libraries. Non-administrator users will receive an error even if they are domain managers.

Example

GET Request

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>

Notes

• Administrator Requirement: Only users with system administrator privileges can un-archive domains. This operation is restricted even from domain managers.
• Archive Status Check: The API will return an error if the specified domain is not currently archived (attempting to un-archive an already active domain).
• Immediate Effect: Once un-archived, the domain becomes immediately visible and accessible to users who are members of that library.
• No Data Loss: Archiving and un-archiving do not delete or modify any documents, folders, or metadata — they only change the library's visibility and access status.
• Search Scope: After un-archiving, the library will appear in search results when users search with scope set to "InOnlineLibraries" or "InAllLibraries".
• User Access: All existing permissions and memberships remain intact — members can access the library immediately after un-archiving.

Use Cases

1. Seasonal Access: Un-archive libraries for active business periods (e.g., tax libraries during tax season).
2. Project Reactivation: Restore access to archived project libraries when projects are reopened.
3. Audit Preparation: Temporarily un-archive historical libraries for compliance audits.
4. Data Recovery: Make archived content accessible again for reference or recovery purposes.
