TARGET_ARCHIVED Target is Archived

Target Archived Mutation

Cannot perform operations on an archived target.

What causes this error?

You tried to modify, enable, pause, or tweak a target that was previously archived. In Amazon Advertising, ‘Archived’ means permanently deleted. It is entirely immutable.

How to fix it

You cannot bring an archived target back to life. You’ll need to create a brand new target if you want to run it again. Also, make sure to add logic to your scripts so you filter out ‘state: ARCHIVED’ items going forward!
