Decompress File(s)
Decompress File action tasks decompress zipped job files (files compressed as zip files).
Input
This task only accepts ZIP files, 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 ZIP is 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.
