Description

Label* 

Default Value: ZipFile Write
Example: ZipFile Write

String

Specify a unique name for the Snap.

File name*

Default Value: N/A
Example: contact.zip

String/Expression

Specifies the URL of the file where the output binary data is written. The supported file protocols are:

• sldb:

• http:

• sftp:

• ftp:

• ftps:

• s3:

• hdfs:

• webdhfs:

• smb:

• wasb:

This Snap supports S3 Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoint. For example, s3://my-bucket@bucket.vpce-028b7814794578709-vu0vvauy.s3.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com
This property works similar to the File name property of the File Writer Snap. For additional information refer the Settings section of the File Writer Snap.

When using expressions to build a file name, ensure that the resulting file name does not contain characters that are not supported by the target platform. For example, a file name that contains the special character ":" is not supported in SMB.

File action*

Default value: Overwrite
Example: Ignore

String/Expression

The action to perform if the file already exists. The options available include:

• Overwrite: If Overwrite is selected, the Snap attempts to write the file without checking for the file's existence for  better performance and the "fileAction" field will be "overwritten" in the output view data.

• Ignore: The Snap does not overwrite the existing file and will do nothing but write the status and file name to its output view.

• Error:  If Error is selected, the error displays in the Pipeline Run Log. If an error view is defined, the error will be written there as well.

Base directory

Default Value: N/A
Example: testFolder

String

The root directory for all the files added to .zip file.

Use input view label

Default Value: Deselected  

Checkbox

If true, the input view label is used for all names of the files added to the zip file. Otherwise, the input view ID is used instead, when input binary stream does not have its content-location in its header. When this option is selected, if there are more than one binary input streams in an input view, for the second input stream and after, the file names will be the input view label appended with '_n'. If the label is in the format of 'name.ext', '_n' will be append to the 'name', e.g. name_2.ext for the second input stream.

Number of retries

Default Value: 0
Example: 3

Integer/Expression

Specifies the maximum number of retry attempts when the Snap fails to write. If the value is larger than 0, the Snap first stores the input data in a temporary zip file before writing to the target file.

Minimum value: 0

Retry interval (seconds)

Default Value: 1
Example: 3

Integer/Expression

Specifies the minimum number of seconds for which the Snap must wait before attempting recovery from a network failure.

Minimum value: 1

AWS Canned ACL

Example: PublicRead

• None

• Private

• PublicRead

• PublicReadWrite

• AuthenticatedRead
