Associate the Plugin with an Agent Group¶

The plugin is listed in the Management Console Plugins page with a display name of Jitterbit Unzip.

Set Variables and Use the Plugin in a Project¶

Refer to these topics for information about using plugins in a project:

Plugins (Cloud Studio)
Plugins (Design Studio)

The Unzip plugin uses these variables:

Name	Type	Required	Description
`UnZip.TargetDir`	String	Optional	If this variable is set, the unzipped files will be written to this local directory.
`UnZip.PreserveFileNames`	Boolean	Optional	Determines if the filenames of the unzipped files will be preserved. This affects how the target macros `[file]` and `[ext]` behave. If set to `true`, `[file]` will expand to the base name of the original source and `[ext]` will be the extension (normally `.zip` or `.gz`).
`UnZip.GZIP`	Boolean	Optional	Flag for assuming GZIP format instead of ZIP when unzipping a file.
