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 Given Datatype section).

For the results, you'll receive confirmation if successful through a simple parameter. See the Returned Datatype section.
