2922.0. "Extracting the contents of an archive body file....." by KERNEL::SIMPSONR (fred) Fri Jun 25 1993 13:03

 Hello,

 Can anyone tell me how to extract the text of an archived document when
 I have the following files:

   BARHAM1613000879.ARCHIVE;1                 
   BARHAM1613000879.ARCHIVE_BODY;1

 For argument sake I do not have the account that originally archived the 
 document, all I want to do is to extract the text of the message. The ALL-IN-1
 system is Version 3.0

 Regards,
 Richard Simpson.

	RE .0 To retrieve an archive document for which there is no corresponding docdb pointer record do the following :- <archive_create_pointer "BARHAM1613000879.ARCHIVE" Then do a RAD operation to retrieve the document. The archive_create_pointer function creates a new dummy docdb record which points to the supplied archive file parameter see APR 2 for details. It then only remains to restore the document in the normal way. Hope this helps -Paul
2922.3	Extracting the contents of an archive body file.....	KERNEL::SIMPSONR	fred	`Mon Jul 05 1993 12:04`	9
	The customer tried using <archive_create_pointer "BARHAM1613000879.ARCHIVE" but he still cannot retrieve it. We looked in his DOCDC.DAT, from the ALL-IN-1 form and the details of the two files (ie the original and the cross reference in ARCHIVED DOCUMENTS folder) look correct. Is there any other way to recover the body of the message..... Regards, Richard Simpson.
2922.4	Some missing info	HERO::MORPH::Benoy	Jake Bullit, Cybernautics Division!	`Tue Jul 06 1993 11:47`	15
	Re .2, .3 Sorry I'm falling asleep here that should be <archive_create_pointer "ARCHIVE$AREA_00000x:BARHAM1613000879.ARCHIVE" Where archive$area_00000x is the archive area where the .archive and body files are located. You can find out which archive area it is by finding the directory in the dataset archive_sets_data. Mucho appologies -Paul

	Thanks that worked. He also had just a body file for one document, so we copied it to a newly created documents .WPL file and that recovered the text.... Thanks again, Richard.
