Zip Search

Overview

The Zip Search application allows you to seamlessly iterate through your archived data to find historic records. For example, if an order has failed to import and you would like to inspect the XML, you would enter the workflow name, the order number and the application will return you a list of archives which contain that order number.

You can filter the archive data returned by amending the settings in the application.

Settings

Archive Directory

  • Workflow The name of the workflow you are investigating.
  • Custom Directory When the use manual directory option is selected, you must provide the path to your archive folder, e.g C:\Users\joe.harrison\Archive.
  • Input The term you are looking to search for, typically an order number or customer name. You can optionally search for multiple values by comma separating your input, e.g 'ORDER-1, ORDER-2, ORDER-3'.
  • Match case Select this option if you are looking to match the search term by case as well.
  • Recursive You can enable this option if you would like to search for archives within your archives.
  • Decrypt encrypted files If some of your files are encrypted, you will need to enable this option. Please note, enabling this option will increase memory usage.
  • Date filtering Optionally provide a range of dates, so only archives within the date range will be returned.
  • File name filtering Optionally provide a series of filters, so only files matching the given filter set are returned.

View Data

Once you have clicked the 'Search' button, a set of results matching your criteria will be returned.

Each file matching your criteria will be returned individually, even if two files in the same archive contain the search term, and you can view the data in the file by double clicking the item.

You can right click each individual row and then choose to either view the file in your default text editor, to open the zip file in explorer or delete the result from the table.
