# Archive File

### Overview

The **Archive File Component** allows users to archive a file stored on the system using its unique file ID. This ensures efficient storage management and facilitates long-term data retention.

### Usage

This component is used to create an archive of a specific file, making it useful for workflows that require file compression or long-term storage solutions.

#### Properties

| Property | Type     | Description                                       |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `fileId` | `string` | The unique identifier of the file to be archived. |

#### Input Ports

| Port | Description                         |
| ---- | ----------------------------------- |
| `in` | Accepts the file ID to be archived. |

#### Output Ports

| Port  | Description                                            |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `out` | Emits the archived file's ID upon successful archival. |

#### Processing Logic

1. **Receives Input Data**:
   * Accepts a file ID (`fileId`) from the input.
2. **Archives the File**:
   * Calls the system’s file archiving function.
3. **Handles Success & Errors**:
   * If successful, sends the archived file’s `fileId` to the `out` port.
   * If an error occurs, the process fails silently or throws an appropriate error.

#### Output Data Schema

| Property | Type     | Description                                 |
| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `fileId` | `string` | The unique identifier of the archived file. |

### Notes
