Data services download and extract from zip files

0 Kudos

Is there a solution that doesn't require shelling out within Data Services that can download a zip file via SFTP and decompress the zip file prior to transform and load?

Hi Steve.

File location can be used to download but to decompress it a script has to be written

I created the file location, but had to use the copy_from_remote_system function to download the file. I passed the file location name and the name of the file and that allowed me to download a non structured file (non xls,flat file). As for decompressing the file, yes, there's no native function to decompress so I had to shell out and run a decompress command line utility to decompress the zip file.
