This document provides information about archiving completed or on-hold projects from a Primavera database. It discusses transferring project data from a production database to an archive database using Primavera's API and a web interface. The archive process allows storage of projects and their associated baselines for later review without needing to import and restore data. Requirements, data integrity, security, additional uses, and a sample workflow are also outlined. Contact information is provided for questions.

- 5. Abstract ■ The ability to archive a completed project from the existing production database is compounded by the application itself. When exporting a project from Primavera, all the baselines do not carry over in the export, thus requiring the user to un- attach all baselines and restore them as active projects. Once that has been completed the main project and all associated baselines must be exported and save to the predefined location. The ability to review the completed project with its associated baselines would require the user to import the project and baselines into a database, restore all baselines to the project.
