Archiving language definitions, data set definitions, and translators

You cannot delete language definitions, data set definitions, and translators from a repository, but you can archive them. You can hide or display these archived objects in the Team Artifacts view.
The archive operation cannot be undone, so be sure that you really want to archive a language definition, data set definition, or translator before doing so.
Tip: It is recommended that you run a search with the referential integrity tool before you archive a language definition, data set definition, or translator, so that you can discover and display any references to the object you want to archive, and then decide whether to redirect these references to a new target.

To archive a language definition, data set definition, or translator:

  1. In the Team Artifacts view, expand your project area node, then expand the Data Set Definitions or Language Definitions node.
    Note: To select a translator to archive, you must first expand the Language Definitions node.
  2. Right-click the data set definition, language definition, or translator you want to archive.
  3. Select Archive.
  4. To hide or display archived objects in the Team Artifacts view, click the Customize My Filter toolbar button and clear or select Show Archived.
