Thank you very much Bryan for your quick reply.
I actually started with 1.10.0. But when I tried to pass variables to the
flow using nifi CLI I was getting an error (see my comments in NIFI 6814:
Nifi REST api returns incompatible date format for NiFi Client DTO
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NIFI/issues/NIFI-6860?filter=allopenissues>).
The regression was later fixed.
I will try parameters in 1.10.
Thanks,
Bahlul
