Deploys an archive containing multiple artifacts and extracts it at the specified destination while maintaining the archive's file structure.

Deployment is performed in a single HTTP request. Only the extracted content is deployed, not the archive file itself.

By default, the deployment of artifacts is performed sequentially. However, starting from Artifactory 7.96.3, artifact deployment can be performed in multiple parallel threads using the system parameter artifactory.explode.archive.threads. For example, if you set artifactory.explode.archive.threads=10, the deployment of the artifacts contained in the archive will be performed in 10 parallel threads per archive file, which can save considerable time for large archive files.

Supported archive types: zip, tar, tar.gz, tgz.

Note: Requires Artifactory Pro. Deployment of compressed archives (unlike tar) may incur considerable CPU overhead.

Since: 2.6.3

Security: Requires a user with 'deploy' permissions (can be anonymous)
