Andrew Lim commented on NIFIREG-133: ------------------------------------ Will likely document this in the NiFi User Guide. If so, will open a separate Jira in NiFi project. Am in the process of gathering use cases for a Flow Deployment Guide. Variables in versioned process groups would be a good section for that new document. > [Documentation] Explain how variables are captured when versioning a PG > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFIREG-133 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-133 > Project: NiFi Registry > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Pierre Villard > Assignee: Andrew Lim > Priority: Minor > > Context: > I have a process group PG that contains an embedded process group PG1. I have > a variable defined at PG level that is referenced in a PG1's processor. When > versioning both PG and PG1 in NiFi Registry, a copy of the variable defined > at PG level will be created at PG1 level. > Consequently, when importing PG in another environment, the variable needs to > be modified at PG1 level because the one created at PG1 level overwrites the > one initially defined at PG level. > > Would be nice to add this behavior in the documentation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
