Re: Move flow into process group

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

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
