As promised I'm posting back that all of our controller services are migrated from any flow.xml.gx created by 0.7.2 and put into the top-level process group so that we have no problem accessing them. Our biggest problem is then education on how best to develop flows with controller services beg

It's because product planning can't be done overnight. It was a fight (months ago) to get higher approval to move to1.x. 1.1.2was the current release when approval was given. We'll plan to move ahead to 1.2.xin a few months motivated by the next release. In development, I tend to keep up, but p

Russell, Is there a reason you are planning your migration to 1.1.2 and not 1.2.0? There are a number of significant feature and bug fixes that went into 1.2.0 that will likely make your experience much better. Andy LoPresto alopre...@apache.org alopresto.apa...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: 70EC

We're still testing our migration from 0.7.2 to 1.1.2 which is imminent. We still don't know how much of this is going to have to be reconfigured. Our down-streamers tend to be on the grouchy side, so we're testing to see what's going to irritate them. Were it not for the magic ids, I'd feel sa

Thanks, Andrew! (From [1]:) "/This means that the service will be available to all Processors and Controller Services defined in that Process Group _and below_./" In my experience, this isn't true. If I create a controller _via the General menu_ in the very root of my NiFi canvas, configure

Hi Russell, Thanks for your question. Yes, working with Controller Services has definitely changed in 1.x compared to 0.x NiFi. Matt Gilman wrote a nice article about how Controller Service scoping was updated in 1.x with the introduction of Multi-Tenant Authorization and also discusses the r

It appears to me that that, unlike what happened in NiFi 0.x, in 1.x when I look at controller services via the General menu -> Controller Services, what I see is totally different from what I see when I configure controller services for a processor. If I use the General menu to set up my cont
