Unzip YXZP File - Remove Credentials

[ConnorC]

Hello,

I was wondering if I could get some help with a recent task I received.  I'm not 100% sure where to start so I am reaching out here

I need to build a workflow that can remove credentials embedded in a YXZP canvas file.  I need the workflow to unzip the file, remove all the credentials, and then zip the canvas again.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hey @ConnorC,

What credentials are you trying to move? My initial thoughts would be you could use the python tool to open each of the zip files using some of the techniques outlined automation - Interact with other programs using Python - Stack Overflow. Although I cant think of a way to re zip them.

Thank you for your help! I will look more into using the python tool.  I will have to see if I can find a way to re zip them afterward.

The credentials I am trying to remove are my own that I use to connect to a database.  I need the workflow or python to remove my credentials so when it is opened by the next person the credentials have been removed and they would need to input their own.
