Compresses a text value and returns the compressed binary (gzip format).

Example

Input:

{ "InText": "Hello OutSystems!" }

Output (binary, shown as base64 for illustration):

{ "OutBinary": "H4sIAAAAAAAAC/NIzcnJVyjPL8pJ4QIAlyDA3RIAAAA=" }

Errors

• If InText is null (not applicable when the input is bound to a Text variable, which defaults to "", but relevant if built dynamically), the action throws an exception with a clear message (InText must not be null.). Wrap the call in an Exception Handler if InText can come from an untrusted or optional source.

Decompresses a gzip-compressed binary back into the original text. This is the current, correctly-named action — use this one for all new development.

Example

Input:

{ "InBinary": "H4sIAAAAAAAAC/NIzcnJVyjPL8pJ4QIAlyDA3RIAAAA=" }

Output:

{ "OutText": "Hello OutSystems!" }

Errors

• If InBinary is null, the action throws with message InBinary must not be null..
• If InBinary is not a valid gzip payload (corrupted, wrong format, or truncated), the action throws with message InBinary is not a valid gzip-compressed payload.. Always validate or wrap this call in an Exception Handler when the binary comes from an external source (upload, API response, etc.) rather than directly from GZip_StringCompress.

Identical behavior to GZip_BinaryExpand (it delegates to it internally). Kept only so OutSystems apps built before this action was renamed keep working unchanged. New logic must call GZip_BinaryExpand instead — this action may be removed in a future major version.

All three actions can throw exceptions on invalid input (see per-action tables above). In OutSystems, wrap calls in an Exception Handler node and branch on the exception message, or validate inputs before calling (e.g. check InBinary is not empty/null before calling GZip_BinaryExpand) if you need a specific user-facing error instead of a generic failure.

• Only the standard gzip format is supported (no configurable compression level, no other archive formats).
• Text is always encoded/decoded as UTF-8.
