question on un-archival:
Archived files name are in this format in our systems, process_<UUID>_20141122061348_268516094.l
looks like parameter after UUID is Date Time. what is the parameter after that ? I assumed thats the Appian Process ID, but if I use it as a portal report filter for pp!id attribute (after un-archiving it), it does not display any process.

how / where to view un-archived processes within portal interface ?

What command are you using to unarchive the process? I see that if I unarchive a process such as process_0005da29-8f70-8000-a73e-010000010000_20141128181004_64.l (PID = 64), then it shows up in my processes list in Designer only once it has been unarchived

Previously when I've used the -file parameter it doesn't seem to unarchive the process. Try using the -pid parameter, and pass in the part of the file name the is the PID.

So using my example above, you would do
./archiveprocess.sh unarchive -pid 64

Thank you, that worked.

I see pstarted, pcompleted, parchived etc., parameters in documentation. Is it possible to unarchive processes specifying date range ?
we are planning to unarchive our PROD 250,000+ archived processes, thought date range (or combination of pmuuid and date range) will be a better way to split #processes into batches

Yes, you can use either pstarted or pcompleted with a date range. For example, you could do
./archiveprocess.sh unarchive -pmuuid 0003cc70-5ad7-8000-5ad7-0a000064044c -pstarted 201408\\*

This will unarchive all process instances for the model with that UUID that were started in August 2014

Aleksi - the Date Timestamp in archived file name, is it Archived date time (or) Process start time (or) Process completed time.
If thats archived date time, is it possible to use date range with that attribute ?
parchived 201408\\* ?

In the filename the timestamp is referring to the archived date time. And yes, you can use the parchived flag with a range like that
