Refreshing the agent manifest for existing flows
After upgrading agents that already have a flow defined for their agent class, the changes in the manifest (version and processor updates) are not instantly reflected in the existing flows. To make these changes appear, you must refresh the manifest using the Refresh Manifest option available in the EFM Flow Designer.
- Unforeseen issues can arise when refreshing the agent manifest. As a result,
Cloudera recommends that you export the original flow definition before you
continue with this task. You can export the flow definition with the REST API
using the
GET /designer/{agentClassName}/flows/export
operation and endpoint. For more information, see Exporting and importing dataflows in CEM. - Update all agents belonging to the same agent class. Inconsistencies between agent configuration can lead to issues with flow execution.
