Hi,
We have Archival DB which holds historical application data.
Weekly basis data from Primary DB gets copied to Archival DB Partition tables.
Do I need to perform any activities post data movement in Partition table like Gather Table/Index Stats or Rebuild Index or Shrink options?

"like Gather Table/Index Stats"
Possibly.
You *might* have the automatic stats job running nightly - so that might take care of it for you.
You *might* need to do the stats before that, because you want clean stats immediately after you perform the operation.
"Rebuild Index"
Possibly.
You *might* have done a truncate and made some or all portions of indexes unusable.
You *might* have done a delete and the indexes are of a form so that space will not be reused by subsequent data.
"Shrink"
Possibly.
You *might* not be planning on using the freed up space ever again
You *might* not have compression
You *might* need to reclaim from datafiles
You *might* have only index access and thus a shrink offers very little.
As you can see... it's not a yes or no answer really. It's about understanding the concept and then mapping that to the usage particular to your system.
