Hi Misi
Seems like a bug to me...
What does BMC Support said about this?

Subject: Importing data into archive form overlay...
Hi,
I am finding it very hard to automate data import into overlaid archive
forms. This is important though, when you want a complete data migration
tool. In this case RRR|Chive.
For audit-forms it is somewhat straight forward:
1. disable audit on the parent base-form (not the overlay-form)
2. import data into audit-form
3. enable audit again
For archive-forms this does not work, as the overlaid base-form seems to
"remember" the connection:
1. disable archive on base-form (not the overlay-form)
2. import data into archive-form
=>
ARMergeEntry(server=ars764test, form=regrtest21archive,
entry=000000000000002)
API CALL SEVERITY: AR_RETURN_ERROR, failure, status contains details
ARStatusList: contains 1 messages
Number: ARERR 8998
Message: Cannot modify or create entries in an Archive or Audit form.
Append:
I have tried to disable archiving on the the overlay-form instead, but
this is not a possible operation. If you do it via Developer Studio, this
is grayed out.
The only way to do this via Dev Studio is:
1. disable archive on base-form (not the overlay-form)
2. change to best-practice-development mode and delete the archive-form
(make it non-overlay)
3. import data into the archive form
4. re-enable archive on the base-form
It would be SO MUCH easier if there were an option to ARMergeEntry (import
data) that allowed you to import records...
