Hello Team,
Can you help me perform the following unzipping please using VisualCron.

1. I pull a zipped file say "Test.zip" to a folder "C:\Test".
2. Now I want to unzip this file in the same folder by adding a task in Visual Cron. Please can you help me get away with this problem.

Thanks a lot as I am sure to get quick help from you guys 🙂.

1. create an archive Task
In Task:
2. select Extract as archive action
3. select the source file
4. select the destination folder

Hello Henrik,
Thank you for your guidance. However when I tried doing it, it doesnt generate the output. I have attached the document which tells the details that I m using and the out put shown in the main window which is the last snapshot. Please guide me on this concern.

Thanks and regards,
Susheel

In order to unzip on another computer you need to make sure that:

1. that particular folder is shared across the network
2. that you use a Credential (see select box in your screen shot) that is a user that has access to that share

It works 🙂.
Henrik, you are the best.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Henrik,
I have come across another problem now.

1. I transfer .zip file to another machine.
2. I want to unzip this file, however i wont know the complete name of the file. I will only know that its a .zip file. In this scenario, how can I unzip this file.
Can i save the name of the file when I download it from FTP server in a variable using some task and then when I run this unzip task pass this name. If possible please let me know how can I do this.

Thanks a lot,
Susheel

If you have access to that folder from VisualCron Server you can use the File Trigger on the Job.

1. create the file trigger on your Job. Add the similar Credential if needed
2. In the Job main settings click on "Put job in queue" - this processes one file at a time
3. Use this value in the Archive Task archive path: {TRIGGER(Active,LastTrigger,File.Result.FullPath)}
