Can templates be deleted after being created or are they permanent for some reason?
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Payne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2015 7:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Developer questions cb, That is correct - in NiFi you can organize many different flows into a single graph. Ideally, if those flows are completely disparate and do not need to interact with one another, those flows can be organized into separate process groups, but they don't have to be. A template is created to represent a sub-flow on your graph. It can then be exported and shared with others, but it cannot be updated. It should be thought of more as a "snapshot" of part of the flow. You are free to later create a new template and delete the old version, but there's no way to really update the template once it is created.
