# Test integration between the registry and NiFi

Start the registry

./bin/nifi-registry.sh start

Create a bucket in the registry
- Go to the registry UI at http://localhost:18080/nifi-registry
- Click the tool icon in the top right corner
- Click New Bucket from the bucket table
- Enter a name and click create

Get the NiFi PR which adds the support for integrating with the registry
https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2219

>From that PR, edit the root pom and change:
<nifi.registry.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</nifi.registry.version>
to
<nifi.registry.version>0.1.0</nifi.registry.version>

Build the PR and start NiFi

NOTE: You must have already built nifi-registry with "mvn clean
install" in order to build this PR because it depends on snapshot JARs
being in your local Maven repo.

Tell NiFi about your local registry instance
- Go the controller settings for NiFi from the top-right menu
- Select the Registry Clients tab
- Add a new Registry Client giving it a name and the url of
http://localhost:18080

Create a process group and place it under version control
- Right click on the PG and select the Version menu
- Select Start Version Control
- Choose the registry instance and bucket you want to use
- Enter a name, description, and comment

Go back to the registry and refresh the main page and you should see
the versioned flow you just saved

Import a new PG from a versioned flow
- Drag on a new PG like normal
- Instead of entering a name, click the Import link
- Now choose the flow you saved before

You should have a second identical PG now.
