Archive Inspector (3.1)
You can access Archive Inspector using Desktop Online User Interface only.
The Archive Inspector is used to locate files in an archive. The respective access group user can launch and purge files found in the archive. As soon as the target file is located, it is treated as a regular UNIX and standard commands can be used to interact with it.
Note!
It is not encouraged to alter or remove a file from the archive using UNIX commands. If altering is desired, make a copy of the file. If removal is desired, use the Archive Inspector.
To open the Archive Inspector, click the Manage button from the top menu bar, and select Archive Inspector from the list.
