When we archive and send to customer and they restore, views with columns with linked data created by analysis wizard are blank. This is because the DXL references the absolute address of the module e.g., string limitModules[1] = {"00002dc3"}
The absolute address is different at the restored location. (Filters referencing modules survive, since the reference is by module name.) I tried generating the view using 'all modules' and recursive but this still uses absolute addresses.
Is there a way to make the linked columns survive archive-restore?
If I could easily determine the absolute address I could put it in the generated DXL script.

Easy way of getting the module ID: check the DOORS URL for the module, the container part gives the module ID unique in the database, e.g.

container=000026c1

Slightly more complicated method is to use a DXL script, run the following script in an open module

Module m = current
Item i = item fullName m
print uniqueID i

IMO, Archive/Restore is not designed to be used cross-databases, and therefore is not the right functionality to use for sending data to customers.
do you use project archiving or module archiving ?
If you use project archiving, you should try partition/rejoin instead.
If you use module archiving, the problem is not only that the UIDs are different, but additionaly that archive/restore will not restore the links to other modules. Telelogic germany developped a product "DataExchange" which takes care of this problem. You might consider to use this instead of module archive.
