Create identity snapshot programmatically

[#1]

Maintain identity histories option in refresh identity task update identity history by creating the identity snapshot. This may cause performance issue, however there are couple of cases like we need to create identity snapshot based on the life cycle events like in case of termination or transfer. Here is sample code which can be used to create identity snapshot programmatically.

String identityName = "<name of the identity in IdentityIQ>";
Identity identity = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class, identityName);        
IdentityArchiver identityArchiver = new IdentityArchiver(context);        
IdentitySnapshot identitySnapshot = identityArchiver.createSnapshot(identity);        
context.saveObject(identitySnapshot);
context.commitTransaction();

Thanks for this, I found it to be very helpful.

Would it be possible to also restore an identity from snapshot programmatically?

If yes, please can you illustrate how.

Hello,

When a snapshot is taken for an account and the account goes through a leaver process, is that information from the snapshot saved?  If so how long is it stored?  If needed could that snapshot be used if the account is reactivated?
