API Stability Short-Term

Syntax

graphql
restartArchiving(
      repositoryName: string!, 
      archivalKind: ArchivalKind
   ): BooleanResultType!

You'll have to give the repository name, and to choose which archiving type to restart (see the Input Parameters section).

For the results, you'll receive confirmation if successful. See the Returned Values section.
