Shapefile Full Path Builder

This component allows to upload a zipped archive of a geospatial data set in the format of a Shapefile (*.dbf, *.prj, *.shp, ...) and read it with a <geofile reader> node.

The component sends the archive to a temporary location inside the workflow. The archive is then decompressed into the workflow data area. Alongside with <extract context properties> node information, it builds the full path to the *.shp, which is feasible to use on KNIME Business Hub.

A subsequent <geofile reader> can then use the "full-path" flow variable as the input location.

Output ports

1. Type: Flow Variable
   Full File Path
   The full file path to the *.shp file of the zipped archive. This can be used by a subsequent node. This also works on KNIME Business Hub.
