Odoo XMLRPC How to Unarchive Products?

Question

I am using python and trying to archive and unarchive products using XMLRPC. The python code is as follow:

self. models . execute_kw ( self . db , self . uid , self . password ,  "product.template" , " write ",[ ids ,  {"active": True} ] )

The code worked for archiving a product, by updating the active column to be False, but when I run it to unarchive the product and set the column to be True it won't work. No error is returned and it simply does nothing to the product/database. Is there any

There are methods already built for that with names action_archive ​ and action_unarchive ​ on the models
You could call those models instead.
One important thing to check it's if your ids are having the values ok, the records that  are with value active = False ​ because in order to get those values I think that you need to search using an specific context having this value active_test = False ​
Otherwise the value of the ids could be empty of the desired record ids to be unarchived
