Extracting a Source Archive from an FPR File

The FPRUtility -sourceArchive option creates a source archive (FSA) file from a specified FPR file and removes the source code from the FPR file. You can extract the source code from an FPR file, merge an existing source archive (FSA) back into an FPR file, or recover source files from a source archive.

To archive data:

FPRUtility -sourceArchive -extract -project <project>.fpr -f <output_archive>.fsa

To archive data to a directory:

FPRUtility -sourceArchive -extract -project <project>.fpr \
-recoverSourceDirectory -f <output_dir>

To add an archive to an FPR file:

FPRUtility -sourceArchive -mergeArchive -project <project>.fpr \ 
-source <old_source_archive>.fsa -f <project_with_archive>.fpr

To recover files that are missing from an FPR file:

FPRUtility -sourceArchive -fixSecondaryFileSources \
-payload <source_archive>.zip -project <project>.fpr -f <output>.fpr

The following table lists the FPRUtility options that apply to working with the source archive.

FPRUtility Option	Description

`-project <project>.fpr`	Specifies the FPR to archive.
`-recoverSourceDirectory`	Use with the `-extract` option to extract the source as a directory with restored source files.
`-source <old_source_archive>.fsa`	Specifies the name of the existing archive. Use only if you are merging an FPR file with an existing archive (`-mergeArchive` option).
`-payload <source_archive>.zip`	Use with the `-fixSecondaryFileSources` option to specify the source archive from which to recover source files.
`-f <project_with_archive>.fpr \|` <output_archive>.fsa \| <output_dir>	Specifies the output file. You can generate an FPR, a directory, or an FSA file.
