Decompress

 

Note: First see Working with File Sets for a discussion on how data flows through step to step.

 

The Decompress step inflates compressed files from the current file set. Any decompressed files that match the specification setting are added to the job's current file set. The input file that was decompressed is removed from the file set so it is not passed on to the next job step.
