Unzip Process Node

An Unzip node is a Production process node that extracts the contents of one or more compressed files and places the files into a specified directory within the project.

The Unzip node has three panes where you set attributes.

Production Unzip Node All Panes

Node Attributes

You set attributes for the Unzip node in the node attributes pane.

Production Unzip Node Attributes

Attribute	Description
Name	Specify a descriptive name for the node. Lower case names maximize usage of the available space.
Destination Directory (Required)	Specify the directory where you want the extracted file contents to be placed. To select a directory, use the browse button (...) that appears when you click in the empty Destination Directory box.
Failure type	Specify how to handle an Unzip node failure: If set to Any, which is the default and is recommended, the node fails if any of the listed compressed files fail to extract. One or more compressed files can be defined in the Zip Files attribute. If set to Any and a Failure node is set, the task flow goes to the Failure node if any of the compressed files fail to extract. If set to All, the task flow stops only if all of the compressed files fail to extract; otherwise, the task flow continues to the next node.
Ignore Directories	Set to True to ignore the directory paths within the compressed file and extract all files into the Destination Directory root. The default is False.
Overwrite	Set to True to overwrite any existing files in the Destination Directory with the same file name. The default is False.
Password file	Specify a text file containing a password to unencrypt the zip file.
When no files are unzipped	Specify how to proceed if no files extract: Warn, Fail, or Succeed. The default is Warn.
Email Object for failure	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node fails. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Email Object for success	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node succeeds. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Email Object for warning	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node generates a warning. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Failure node	Select the next node upon failure. The pull-down list contains all nodes that are on the Task Flow.
Success node	Select the next node upon successful completion. The next node automatically populates if a connecting line is set on the Task Flow. The pull-down list contains all nodes that are on the Task Flow.
Working Directory	Specifies the directory in which this node runs. If left blank, the Default Working Directory attribute that is set in the Start Control Node is used. When running a script, Production sets the working directory for the child process to the directory that contains the script, unless the node specifies a different directory. See Start Control Node.
Default Working Directory	Displays the Default Working Directory that is set the the Start Control Node. If a Default Working Directory is not specified, this attribute is blank. Applies to all nodes. See Start Control Node.
External File Encoding	Select the format for the node input files. If this attribute is blank, Workbench attempts to detect the type of encoding. This attribute is also used when saving log files. The encoding might need to be adjusted when using data with high bit Latin-1 characters or Unicode characters.
