Dynamic Password for tfileArchive

[asafrian1700127126]

Hi, as far as I know, the password for file encryption in tfileArcive was entered manually and has not changed.
Can I create a password from a variable generated for the tfilearchive component? For example, the password is filled with the date and changes every day depending on the date when the job is executed. Is it possible?

Hi

You can try that use a context variable in the password filed, change the value of context variable on tJava before it is used in each execution.

Why does it look different from my talend? Can't input context in password, I use talend open studio for esb. Encrypt method have AES and default, but even default can't fill with context.

Which version are you using? Can't input value directly in the password filed, need to click ... button to open the window and then input the string.

I forget the version (I'll find out later) but the one I use is talend open studio for esb, to enter the password it must be enclosed in double quotes. When I just enter context.name or +context.name+ without double quoting an error occurs. But when filled with "context.name" (with double quotes) there is no error, but when the zip file is extracted the password is in the form of a string (the string inside the quotes) and not a variable generated from the context. How can I read the variable generated inside the double quotes?

I am using v8.0.1 and I don't have the compilation error when filled with context.name (without double quotes), "context.name" (with double quotes) is treated as a string, not a context variable. I suggest you to use the latest version of studio.
