Zip Output File
Determine if the created output file is zipped.
This applies to source-to-file extracts in SSIS projects. When enabled, the extract's convert step compresses each output file to GZip (.gz) after converting it to UTF-8, and the downstream steps — the archive loop and the AzCopy upload patterns — look for .gz files instead of .txt. When disabled, the files are converted to UTF-8 only.
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default Y to reduce file size for upload and storage. Disable it when downstream consumers need the plain text files.
