  • 1.  Promotion using Drive Explorer

    Posted Thu October 10, 2024 03:11 PM

    This is my first time doing a promotion utilizing the Drive Explorer in IBM Cloud.  I zipped the data directory from Dev and was able to move it successfully to Prod.   When I went to unzip (expand) the following dialog box opened asking if I wanted to overwrite existing items. 

    Does this mean the expand feature is not recursively expanding the subdirectories in the zip file?

    Hi Chris,

    The Drive Explorer\File Manager expand (unzip) option does keep the folder structure that was compressed (zipped).

    If you copy the zip file to a new empty directory and expand does the same problem happen? 

    If you download the zip file and unzip it on your desktop do you get a similar warning from your own zip tool?

    BTW - We have a feature coming in 2.0.99 that will allow you to unzip to a new folder (the folder is created on unzip) in addition to unzipping to the current folder.

    I clicked expand on the zip so I assume it would have unzipped to the current directory which was empty except for the zip file.  From the screenshot above it looks like you're addressing that.   FYI, I did click cancel on the dialog as I couldn't see what files were problematic.  

    Indeed, some of the folder structure was replicated but not all. 

    So, I created a Powershell script to compare the directories and here's a sample of the files that were missing.  I need to do some more research here As it doesn't seem to be pointing to a specific issue.

    FYI.  I did download the file to a local directory and unzipped it successfully with no errors.

    Hi Chris,

    Is there any chance you could reach out (stuart.king@ca.ibm.com) to provide the zip file so we can debug this problem?
