Restoring Program Elements

Purging marks projects or packages for deletion from the repository. After a program element is purged, it no longer appears in the Repository Explorer, but it continues to exist in the repository until the repository is compacted to free up disk space.

If the repository has not been compacted, purged program elements can be restored, allowing you to browse and add them to the workspace once again. To restore purged program elements, follow these steps:

  1. From any Window menu, select Repository Explorer. The Repository Explorer window will open.
  2. Select the Projects or Packages page, depending on what you want to restore.
  3. To restore all editions of a project or package, place the cursor in the Project Names or Package Names pane. To restore selected editions of a project or package, place the cursor in the Editions pane. Select Restore from the pop-up menu. A list of restorable names or editions will appear.
  4. Select the items you wish to restore to the current repository. Click OK.

The restored program elements will re-appear in the Repository Explorer.
