Unable to extract Zip file using unzip step in kettle

Question

I am tring to extract an 2gb file using pantaho kittle unzip step . But I am getting below error.

Unzip file - ERROR (version 4.3.0-stable, build 16786 from 2012-04-24 14.11.32 by buildguy) : Error

Can any one help me in doing so.

Thanks

There should me more to the error than that, check the log or on the console and post the full error. Also whats in the file? do you definitely need to unzip it? (i.e. pdi can read compressed text/csv files directly without unzipping) — Codek
Actully as the size of the file is 2gb that's why it is unable to process such a large file. I guess it is an bug in kettle . — user1881820
hmm ok. How about if you just use a shell command to unzip the file? Actually thinking about it, are zip files even valid of that size? — Codek

Most probably you did not set the target directory in the unzip step: "Unzipped files" / "Target Directory"
