Jira Datacenter supports archiving of issues and projects since v8.1. By archiving issues, Jira will remove them from the indexes. The archived issues will still be accessible in read-only mode, however, they will not appear in Jira searches. This enhances Jira performance because Jira stores less data.

We have plans to support the Jira archiving feature and even extend this feature so that Xray issues can be archived without some of the undesirable side effects that are described on this page. A good use case for archiving Xray issues, will be to archive old Test Executions, especially if continuous integration processes keep importing new execution results into Xray on a daily basis. This feature is on our Roadmap. |

Even though the Test is read-only, the Test Run can still be edited using the endpoints (PUT|POST|DELETE) /rest/raven/1.0/api/testrun/{id}/status/*.
see Test Runs - REST.
Test Repository
When Using GET /rest/raven/1.0/api/testrepository/<projectKey>/folders the archived Test is included in counts.
PUT and POST can also be executed, even though the Test Issue is read-only.
