Zip Files include the entire folder structure in an Automation job
Description

When creating an Automation task that has a Zip file entry, when you run the job and then open the Zip file, the entire folder structure is also saved within the zip file. This may present a security risk based on the folder structure used.
Resolution

WORKAROUND
Save the output file to the root C:\ drive, so that when the zip file is created, there is no additional folder structure to include in the zip file.
STATUS
Issue fixed in version 5.5. The latest version of Toad Data Point can be downloaded at: Quest downloads or One Identity downloads
