Key Features & Functionality
Hi,
We are having issues with extracting .xlsx from the zip files since the update to version 1.4.0. The extractor fails if the zip has .xls and xlsx files in it.
Sinerely,
John
Hi John Camacho, can you shed some light on the scenario (zip file structure, folder structure,..) that is currently failing? On top of that, can you please share the details of your environment?
-Yes the files (pdf) files are extracted up until it reaches the first excel, and the extractor moves to the next node but the output document list is blank and any variables that its supposed to save the value to is blank as well so the process model gets null errors when referencing the document list.
- Since the zip files with excel files were failing I tried using the "zip utility" app that has a zip extractor smart service and it was able to extract the zip files that had the excel files and was able to output the folder ID of the extracted zip file.
A quick way to replicate is to save different types of files in a subfolder and zip it just to see which file extensions are causing issues.
