Hi Harish, There’s an issue of terms here. You wouldn’t be exporting a Flowfile so to speak (that is a unit of data flowing through nifi). It sounds like you’re looking to export sections of the flow configuration. In that case, the way to do that is to make the process groups you want to export into a template, then use the the template manager to export them to a local XML file that can be imported elsewhere.
See also https://github.com/aperepel/nifi-api-deploy for a useful utility to help automate some of this particularly for use moving deployments between nifi instances.

My query is with regards to exporting flow files. Specially, if I have a number of process groups and I would like to select and export a process group, is this possible? In my testing I haven’t been able to do this, and it could well be that I am doing something wrong. Alternatively is this something which is on the backlog for a future release, if so, do you have an idea as to which release it will be? Best regards Harish
