Decompress
In this article
Overview
You can use this Snap to decompress the content of binary data. For example, if a File Reader Snap is configured to read a compressed file, you can use this Snap to decompress the content before passing the data to a Parser Snap. The decompression scheme can be explicitly chosen or automatically detected based on the content of the binary data. If the compression scheme is set to AUTO and the incoming data is not compressed, the raw input data is passed through without any changes.
This Snap only uncompresses the compressed files on the first level. It does not decompress the archived folders which are located at the second level and deeper. This Snap supports decompression of the following compression schemes:
GZIP
BZIP2 (or BZ2)
DEFLATE
ZIP
7ZIP
Prerequisites
None.
Support for Ultra Pipelines
Works in Ultra Pipelines.Â
Limitations and Known Issues
