@Karuetl,can you the component design?

Hi @Karuetl,

Pls check the directory and destination where you want to store the archive file.

Also do check the filemask.

i m sure you might have checked all these. 

Pls do share the screenshot of the component which help the Community to clear the issue with a detailed explaination.

Thanks,

Ankit.

context.filename = abcd-2019.01.08.14.11.11.csv
archive file  = abcd-2019.01.08.14.11.11.csv.zip

You haven't specified a filemask or "all files".

I even tried with All Files also File mask too , same error

Hi @Karuetl,

Thanks for the screenshot,

Try by removing filename in the directory...specify only the directory where the file which is to be archived stored

File mask is specifying one certain file or list of files under an extension(for eg. excel files or text files etc) and when you specify all files.. all the files in the directory will be archived.

Pls reach out to the community,if necessary.

Thanks,
