Instance dependent Parameter Context

[Nifi Rocks <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi community,
I have a setup with two nifi instances. One test instance and one
production instance. Now I use the Nifi Registry as intermediary. How do I
make the contents of the parameter context change depending on the instance?

They remain in production. The values of the parameters from registry
are only used when creating a new context because one doesn't exist
yet, or when adding a new parameter because it doesn't exist in the
existing context.

Ok, the next time I transport, the overwritten values remain in production
or I have to update them each time?

Re: Instance dependent Parameter Context

When you save a version of the flow from your test NiFi to NiFi
Registry, it will include any referenced parameter contexts, along
with any non-sensitive values.

When you import this flow from NiFi Registry to production NiFi, it
will look for existing parameter contexts with the same names...

If a matching context is found, it will use it, and add any missing parameters.

If a matching context is not found, it will create it.

At this point you can go into the parameter contexts in production and
update any values to make them specific to your production
environment, and provide any sensitive values required to make the
flow run.
