Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
Overview
Create a zip file of complete folders, including multiple documents and subfolder.
Key Features & Functionality
[MIGRATED] This smart service plug-in is useful when you want to package up complete folders. It retrieves the whole tree of content and keeps the path for each document. So if document was in /rootFolder/myFolder/myDocument.txt the path will be preserved. Uses only Java and Appian public APIs.
*** UPDATE ***
It has been reported that this plugin had issues in the later versions of Appian to properly function when documents had multiple versions. This plugin has been updated to fix this issue. Special Thanks to Caroline Brautigan for updating & testing the component with Appian 6.6.1
**********************
*** UPDATE 7/6/2016 ***
Previous version of the plugin removed the ability to save the complete folder structure. The new version now preserves complete folder structure.
*** UPDATE 2/01/2018 ***
* Fixed a bug in which some documents were duplicated and some were missed in the final zip file.
* Fixed a bug where names were not being preserved
* Fixed another bug in relation to the folder structure being preserved.
Document Zipper
*** UPDATE 09/24/2019 ***
* Updated to replace deprecated function
Hi Team,
We are facing an issue when zipping large folders (e.g., larger than 1 GB).
In particular, the smart service creates an invalid ZIP file with a negative size. The same issue occurs when trying to download the file via Appian Designer.
By reviewing the JAR file, it seems that the method ZipOutputStream.closeEntry() is not being used, which could lead to the creation of an invalid ZIP file.
Do you have any documentation we can refer to? Could you please support us on this?
Unfortunately, we cannot share any test documentation due to sensitivity constraints.
Best regards
Something in the download is getting it blocked by my network security. I don't have trouble with most plugins like PDF Tools, etc.
plugin imported to environment server correctly but its not in admin console -plugin
