Where I work the project is setup by project number and now I can not use the same project number which is going to be an issues, and the project I setup is in an archive status Unarchiving project areas is not officially supported, but there is a hidden feature you can enable in case of emergency. If you start up your Eclipse client with the following system property, you'll see a new action in the context menu for project areas, "Unarchive..." com.ibm.team.process.enableUnarchive=true If you're not familiar with adding system properties to your Eclipse client, you'll need to create a shortcut and add the following to the target: -vmargs -Dcom.ibm.team.process.enableUnarchive=true Good luck, - Jared |

How can you prevent this from happening at the first place?

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER How can you prevent this from happening at the first place? In the Process Configuration of your project area, you can configure which roles are allowed to archive the project area. I recommend assigning this permission to no one. If you ever need it, you can assign the permission just before archiving. By the way, in the forthcoming RTC 3.0.1 release you can easily unarchive project areas from the web ui. - Jared |

I've followed the step #29 of this WI:
https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/60325 In the end, the project seems fine, but after three Sucessfull messages regarding the Project Area and two Team Areas, some errors have occured like: -- Permission Denied: Problem You don't have permission to Save Project Area . Reason In order to carry out this operation, you would need permission to perform the following additional actions: Action: ID: Archive the project area archive/projectArea -- Administrative Override: Problem The operation proceeded because of your administrative privileges. The process configuration would not have allowed this otherwise. -- Is this a big problem? Thanks! |

Hi Rafael,
No, this is not a big problem, it means that the save succeeded even though you were not explicitly granted the permission to save the project area, because the repository group (e.g. JazzAdmins) you are a part of is automatically granted that permission. Parker Jazz Foundation | Process team |
