Re-adding Dropped Members
If you are re-adding a dropped member, an archive must exist for the member, and you must specify the archive path of the dropped member.
The following cases also might cause you to be prompted to use an existing in project or out of tree archive for the member you are adding:
• The member’s project was migrated from a file system repository to a database repository.
• The dropped member was created by sharing another archive.
• The dropped member was renamed or moved before it was dropped.
Dropped members can be added back to the project using any of the following methods. You can use the CLI command si viewdroppedmembers in combination with the following methods to add members back to the project.
• Add from Archive: With this option, you must specify the location of the archive from where you can select the members to add to the project. For more information, see
