The Archive Tab is basically a three way view of the project files displaying files from the Archive, the customers Harvest environment and the users work folder at the same time. To open a project .cifx file Open Existing Project action in 'File' menu can be used.
It provides functionality needed to customize files as well as applying CPS updates to files.
Tree navigator displays three root nodes 'Archive
Folders', 'Work
Folders' and 'Harvest Views'. Once a project is opened all the components of the selected installation
and its sub folders are included in the Archive Folders node. Work Folders
provide easy access to the components and its sub folders in work folder. All
WorkFolder Files view shows all files inside component folders in file list. Harvest Views displays the files in harvest views
created by user. All Harvest Files displays all harvest files in file list.
This list provides
a filter for the files to be displayed in the Archive tab.
This search
files on name (full or partial) of LU, module, file, form, table window or
dialog.
The following Columns are available in the Archive tab:
| File Name | File name of displayed files. |
|---|---|
| Type | Type of file as reported by the Operating System. |
| Created | Indicates whether the file's first version is from the Archive, a CPS release , Harvest or the Users Work Folder. |
| Harvest |
If this file exists in Harvest, the column displays a check mark ( |
| Harvest User | User Id of the user who checked in latest version. If this is a reserved version column displays the reserved user. |
| Package Version | Displayed only when a harvest view is selected from the folders
(Area 3: Folders). Displays package version of the package that has highest version of the file from the packages used to create the harvest view. |
| Package User | Displayed only when a harvest view is selected from the folders
(Area 3: Folders). User Id of the user who checked in or reserved the version displayed in Package Version column. |
| Work Folder | If the file exists as read only (i.e.: Checked out for Browse) the column

 . |
| Last Modified | Data and Time stamp of the last modification. |
| Component | Displayed only when a harvest view or All WorkFolder Files view is selected from the folders
(Area 3: Folders). Displays the component of the file. |
| File Location and Relative Path |
Together these two files will display the path to a file on disk. File
Location typically points out the location of the current component, while
Relative Path displays the path within the component. A file only existing in Harvest will not have a File Location, only a relative path. The reason we display this information in two columns is that in the Virtual Views files will have different Relative Paths. |
The Actions Menu
| Archive File | All actions that can be performed on the archive file have been grouped
here. Open: opens the file with the associated application (or
Notepad if no association exists.) Action is available also in the toolbar.
Action is enabled only if a single file is selected and it has an Archive
version.

|---|---|
| Work Folder File |
Actions that can be performed on the work folder file have been grouped here. "Open" opens the work folder file in associated application. Action
is enabled only if a single file is selected and it has a Work Folder version.
Action is also available in the toolbar. "Rename" brings up a dialog allowing you to rename the work folder file. "Delete" deletes the work folder file. Also available in the toolbar. "Copy to…" copies the work folder versions of the selected files to a user-selected directory. Enabled only if all selected files have a work folder version "Copy Location" copies the current work folder path to the Clipboard. "Properties" opens the work folder files Windows Properties dialog. Observe that ISD cannot catch close of the properties dialog and thus automatically refresh for example the read only flag for the work folder file. Use a lookup action described below to refresh the file. |
| Quick Change... | "Work Folder" allow you to switch/toggle Work Folder. The main idea is to allow users to separate work folders for different type of coding, it can for example be useful to point out the Workspace Root used by Developer Studio for middle tier code to get middle tier files in and out of Harvest in an easy way. |
| LUoogle |
"Find LU" search files on name (full or partial) of LU, module, file, form, table window or dialog using preloaded index. "Load Index" loads a new index file in .csv format. "Append Index" appends a new index to the loaded index in .csv format. "Add New Entry" popup a dialog to enter a new LU entry. |
| Lookup actions |
These actions will re-read the Harvest repository, the Work Folder or both, checking all files or only the selected file(s) as per the menu selection. This is a good way to refresh the information in the Solution Developer if you have worked manually in the windows File Explorer or the Harvest Client. |
