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 in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page731.
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.
