Input
This task only accepts ZIPFiles, however it is not necessary that the job file be the ZIP, since this file path
and name can be specified in the task itself.
Processing
Every file in the ZIPis extracted to the specified location. If a folder structure exists in the ZIP, it is respected
in the output folder.
Output
This task outputs the data file it received with no modification. Metadata and job files are not touched either.
Properties
General Tab
l Zip file name: Enter the name of the zipped file. In this variable property box, you may enter static
characters, variables, job information elements, data selections, or any combination of these.
l Output folder: Enter the name of the folder in which you want the decompressed files to be stored.
l File mask: Enter a file name mask to specify which files must be decompressed. Leave the default
value of *.* to decompress all the files found within the zip.
l Password: Enter a password if the zip file is password protected.
l Restore path structure: Select if you want the complete file structure to be rebuilt from the output folder
to the decompressed files.
l Force directories: Select if you want to allow the system to create new folders when required. If this
option is not select and the Decompress file action task tries to save a file to a folder that does not
exist, the task will fail.
l Overwrite existing files: Select if you want decompressed files that have the same name as existing
files to overwrite the existing files.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on " Task Properties Dialog" on page 587.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
