I've done some research and I haven't found a solution for this yet.

 

We use InfoPath forms (for now) and an archive library is starting to grow pretty large.

 

My question is, how do you move the archive XMLs out of one library and into another while preserving the template so the archive file can still be opened in the new library location?  I know this is kind of an InfoPath problem and not K2/Blackpearl, but I'm hoiping some one may have had to do some clean up like this and InfoPath forms.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Figured it out.

 

Went to the original archive library (Source)

Downloaded a copy of the template from advanced settings and save to desktop

Then just published to a brand new form library I had created (Destination)

Then moved all archive XMLs from source to destination

Then relinked all docs from library settings

Good information to have anyway even if it is more InfoPath than Blackpearl, grats on figuring it all out.
