Zip Pipeline Component

The Zip pipeline component implements a PKZip-compatible Zip compressor and decompressor.

Remarks

The Zip pipeline component is used when generating BizTalk Pipelines for sending and receiving messages which are desired to be zipped or unzipped. The pipeline component uses the Deflate algorithm specified in RFC 1951 for compression, and produces and reads output compatible with PKZip, WinZip, etc.

Zip Assembler Pipeline Component

The Assembler takes a group of messages as input which contains raw data, and generates a Zip archive message as output.

Compression strength is regulated by the CompressionLevel property. You may also control encryption behavior by setting the Password and EncryptionAlgorithm properties on this pipeline component.

Zip Disassembler Pipeline Component

The Disassembler takes a zipped message as input, and generates a group of unzipped messages as output.

The Password property must be set in order to extract messages which have been encrypted. You may also use the ExcludedFiles property to regulate which messages are to be extracted from the archive.

Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.
