Is there a plugin for unzipping an archive or can anyone show me the way to achi

James,
I have a plugin smart service i wrote , takes 2 params absolute path of the zipfile \\\\unshare\\abc.zip and path \\uncshare\\output\\\\ to unzip all files into one folder. the path should have read& write permission for the user running the jboss. did not upload to appian components yet

Search for Archive Utilities in components for information how to use. or can directly download at forum.appian.com/.../80835

Hi rayudua, thanks for the plugin, your efforts inspired me to make my own version of it. I have tried your plugin but noticed there are errors occuring in the jboss with reference to null values. Since I had the the need to maintain directory structure within from within the zip file I have written my own plugin for this along with the compress to zip smart service as well. both currently only handle files and folders from the local file system and not from within the KCs. I will post this verision to components soon, after I finish a bit more testing and the final tooltip notes. Thanks, James

I have another one, I forgot to update. in forum. The new corrections will return number of files and no NULL value exceptions
I will update shortly

James, have you completed the plugin?

Hi Cody, yes I did finish my plugin. The code isn't pretty, hence I have not shared but it serves my original purpose which was to retain directory structure from the originating file system.

Hello James, thank you for your reply. Does the plugin work with text file paths like the Archive Utilities plugin or Appian documents? Would you be willing to share it at least the JAR file?

No worries Cody. The plugin acts only within the context of a defined file path. It does not interact with the Appian document system. So given a file folder and a destination path and it will result in a zip file of the folder content including any folders and files there in. Is this the behavior you are looking for? I am happy to share but I doubt this will be acceptable in a cloud installation.
