Unzip file

Job entry name

The name of the job entry.
Note : This name has to be unique in a single job. A job entry can be placed several times on the canvas, however it will be the same job entry.

Source files

You can specify the list of source (zip) files in this section

• Get args from previous : check this option if you want to use the list of result files (from a previous job entry) as the list of files to unzip (see bug PDI-9819 - it takes the first field of the result row instead of the result files)

• Zip file name : the name of the zip file or a folder if you want to use a wildcard

• Source wildcard : if the previous option is a folder, you can enter a regular expression wildcard here. - Note: The regex is compared against the absolute path of the file and a complete match MUST be made

  • For example to match "/folder/test.zip" a regex of "te.\.zip" will come up empty. Use ".*te.\.zip" instead to account for the folders ahead of it.** For Windows file paths, the direction of the slashes will be reversed in the match, so use "\/" instead of "\\".

Unzipped files

This section allows us to specify what to do with the unzipped files

• Use zipfile name as root directory : check this if you want to create a separate directory for each zip filename (same name as file)

• Target directory : the target directory to unzip in

• Create folder : check this if you want to create the target folder

• Include wildcard : use this regular expression to select the files in the zip archives to extract

• Exclude wildcard : use this regular expression to select the files in the zip archives to extract

• Include date in filename : Include the current date in the unzipped filenames (format yyyyMMdd)

• Include time in filename : Include the time (format HHmmss)

• Specify the date time format yourself: allows you to specify the date time format yourself (default is: yyyyMMdd'_'HHmmss)

• If files exists : select the action to take if the target (unzipped) file exists: skip, overwrite, etc.

• After extraction : select the action to take after zip file extraction: Do nothing, Delete files, Move files

• Move files to : if the previous option is "Move files", you can select the target directory here.

Advanced

•  Add extracted file to result: add the extracted file names to the list of result files of this job entry for use in the next job entries.

• Success condition: allows you to specify the success factor of this job entry: when everything went well or if there were only X errors or if there were at least Y files extracted.
