Matt Gilman commented on NIFI-520:
----------------------------------

Jenn,

What you have so far looks good. I wanted to make sure you saw the the enable/disable controller service process as it is also important. In order to modify a controller service, the DFM needs to stop/disable all referencing processors, reporting tasks, and controller services. Rather than having to hunt down each component, they can stop/disable all referencing components when disabling the service in question. This is part of the disable process because we cannot have components running that reference a disabled service. If a component is referencing a service, it can only become valid once all referenced services are enabled. Likewise, when enabling a controller service, the user has the option to start/enable all referencing processors, reporting tasks, and controller services. 

Let me know if you have any questions or if I happened to miss it in the patch.

Matt

> Now that NIFI-250 is done, the new method for adding/configuring controller services and reporting tasks needs to be added to the User Guide. This will go into the section on Building a Dataflow (btw configuring a processor and connecting components). The section at the very end of the User Guide called Other Management Features also needs to be updated. The name Flow Settings has been changed to Controller Settings.
