You can configure the properties for the ExtractAll component. For more information about these properties, see [Properties of the Zip components](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/util-zip-prop.md).

## Procedure

1.  In the Toolbox pane, navigate to **Utilities** > **Zip**.

2.  Drag the ExtractAll component to the Design surface.

3.  To configure the input fields, see [Configure port properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/configure-input-port-properties.md).

4.  Connect the data and control ports of the ExtractAll component to the corresponding ports of the other components as described in the following table.

    |Port type|Purpose of connection|Mandatory?|
    |---------|---------------------|----------|
    |Data In \(zipFilePath\)|Takes the zipFilePath from a previously executed component.|Yes|
    |Data In \(PathToExtract\)|Takes the extraction path from a previously executed component.|Yes|
    |Data Out|Returns **True** if the files are successfully extracted to the specified location. Otherwise, returns **False**.|Yes|
    |Control In|Connects to the Control Out port of one or more components.|Yes|
