Zip Workflow Operation

ID: zip

Description

The zip oeration creates a zip archive including all elements of the current media package that are specified in the operation configuration. It then adds the archive to the media package as an attachment with the given flavor and tags and by default stores the zip file in the working file repository's "zip" collection.

Parameter Table

configuration	example	description	default value
zip-collection	zips	A comma separated list of flavors to preserve from deleting	zip
include-flavors	*/source,dublincore/*	Which elements to include in the archive	(all)
target-flavor	archive/zip	The flavor of the created attachment	archive/zip
target-tags	archive	The tags to apply to the attachment
compression	true	Whether to compress the archive content	flase

Additional notes:

• The include-flavors configuration parameter accepts exact flavors like presenter/source as well as wildcard flavor definitions like */source.
• Usually, for media content, zip compression does not reduce the size of the archive very much but adds significant processing time. That is why activating this is usually not recommended.
