Generate Hash

Description

Generate Hash computes a cryptographic hash value for a specified file using algorithms such as MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256. Use this step when your workflow needs to verify file integrity, detect changes between versions of a file, or produce a unique fingerprint for audit and compliance purposes. The hash value is output as a field that downstream steps can compare, store, or include in reports.

Configurations

Field Name	Description
Step Name	Name of the step. This name has to be unique in a single workflow.
File(String)	Holds the absolute path along with the name of the file. File field cannot be empty.
Button: Browse File	Click on this button to select a particular file.
Hash Type(String)*	Select the type of encryption for generating Hash-value. Encryption Algorithm field cannot be empty. This field is mandatory. Currently following are the hash types implemented with this plugin. (MD5, SHA1, SHA-256,SHA-384,SHA-512)

Note: Some Hash Algorithms must be installed on your machine. One such example is to download hash algorithms from http://implbits.com/products/hashtab/.

Output Fields:
Result	Displays the generated Hash-value of the file selected if executed successfully. Note: You may cross verify the Hash-value generated. Right click the file you chose for hashing and under properties tab select the hashing algorithm. Copy the hash value shown. After copying the hash value is available in a field below. Compare this hash value with the hash value generated in process studio. These two should be the same.
