[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-7704) Make it posssible to GenerateFlowFile without editing schedule

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17230646#comment-17230646 ] 

Dan Kim commented on NIFI-7704:
-------------------------------

I wanted to provide an update since it's been a while.

I'm still working on this here and there as I have time, but this ticket is less trivial than had initial thought (add a button that trigger's the processor once). There are conceptual things and interface that I need to have a clearer understanding of before submitting a PR.

That being said, my stretch goal is to have an initial PR opened by the end of the year.

But with the holidays coming up, I suspect a more realistic timeline would be sometime in Q1 2021.

>          Issue Type: Wish
>    Affects Versions: 1.11.4

>            Priority: Minor

> When we are developing/testing or a simple data refresh it's needed we launch a  flowfile via GenerateFlowFile, for this you have to:
>  * Open the processor
>  * go to schedule
>  * change cron to time, set a time like 3600.
>  * Apply changes
>  * start and stop the processor
>  * Open the processor
>  * go to schedule
>  * change time to cron (paste the cron you copied earlier)
>  * apply changes
>  * Start the processor
> It will be nice to have something like "right click->generate FlowFile" or something like that to launch 1 batch of the configured flowfile to avoid the time and errors that could happen when following the previous steps.
