Hi,
User who does extraction of raw data from the dashboard, would like to get the file already zipped instead of a csv file, is there a way to automaticaly zip the file when generating an output report.

Thanks,
Pierre

We built an include that handles the zipping of files.

We just add it to the fex after the file is created.

Hi Waz,

Would you mind sending me this include.

Thank you

Unfortunately I cannot send this code.

But the process is simple.

All you need to do is supply the filename as a variable. Call a zip utility (we use gzip, running on unix).

Then do something with the file. (Email, Return to the browser, etc)

We do the same. We just hold the file and invoke the zip utility via -WINNT command-line script and then copy the zip file to a LAN drive with their USERID appended to the filename then have an -HTMLFORM to tell them that it is ready with a link to the LAN that the file is in.

thanks folks !
