Compress

 

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

 

The Compress step finds all files in the job's current file set that match the specification and adds them to a zip archive file.  Files added to the zip archive are removed from the current file set so they are not passed on to the next step in the job.
