Move flow into process group
Hi,
I am still fairly new to Nifi and as my Nifi flow grows, I would like to
create process groups and place some of the flows into them.
Is it possible to move flow into process group without losing its state?
My flow has gone through so many files already. If I save the flow as
template and deploy the flow inside the process group, it will start from
the beginning. I would appreciate if there is a good way to move the flow
and its state into a process group.
Thanks,
BH

Hi Banias,
By selecting a workflow you want to move, you can click and drag your
selection in a process group. You can also (right click on your selection)
move your selection to the parent group. This will keep the state unchanged.
To make a selection, Shit + click to draw a rectangle over your flow (don't
forget to include the relationships in your selection).
Hope this helps.

Did you try to copy and then paste them?

Peter,
To move a selection of processors into a group, the selection must be self-contained. That means that any connections into or out of those Processors must also be selected. If you’re not able to group them or move them into an existing group, its means that the selection is not disjoint/self-contained.
Thanks

Good day -
I'm busy getting to grips with Nifi, using v1.11.4, and would like to move
some processors into a group.
I can select the processors on the canvas, but can't get them into a group:
1) The "Group" button on the "Operate" window (which is captioned "Multiple
components selected") is disabled
2) I created a Process Group and tried to drag the processors onto it, but
in never "captures" the drag/drop
All processors are stopped.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter

BH,
You should be able to select the components in question and dragging and
dropping them into the desired Process Group. You can select the components
by holding down Shift and clicking on each one. Another option is to use a
selection box by clicking and dragging on the canvas. You should see a gray
dotted box drawn. Once you let go, it will automatically select all
components within your box. At that point, you should be able to click on
one of the selected components and drag them all into a Process Group. As
you hover over the Process Group you should see a blue border indicating a
valid drop target.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Matt
