Compression

Prev Next

Applies to: Lasernet Core 11

The Compression engine and modifier are used to decompress and compress ZIP archives stored in JobData.

The engine is able to both decompress and compress. It is used when you have a ZIP archive containing more than one file for which you wish to generate jobs.

The engine is also used to ZIP multiple jobs into one archive.

The Setup tab for the Compression engine.

Properties

A range of properties can be set to control the resulting ZIP archive.

Password

If ZIP archive must be encrypted, a password is required.

Encryption key length

Length of the encryption key.

Self-extracting archive

Lasernet Core generates a self-extracting executable rather than a ZIP archive. Extension of the file will be set to .exe

Compression level

The higher the value, the smaller the ZIP file is. Higher values take a longer time, but should not be set lower unless a real performance problem exists. Can be overruled at runtime via JobInfo CompressionLevel.

Filename JobInfo

Name of file for ZIP archive.

JobInfo FullFilename must be specified. Paths are supported, excluding the drive letter.

Decompress

All files in the ZIP archive are extracted to individual jobs. Password-protected archives are supported.

A range of JobInfos are set on the created jobs, to mimic those set by a File Input module:

  • ArchiveFilename

  • CompressionLevel

  • FileLastModified

  • Filepath

  • Filename

  • FullFilename

  • Filesize

  • FilesizeCompressed

  • Extension

  • FilenameWithoutExt

Combining

Select the Combining tab and activate Enable Job combining to embed multiple jobs into a ZIP container. For more information about combiner settings, see Combining Jobs.
