Deploying a flow using the wizard

Deploy a flow definition to run an Apache NiFi flow in Cloudera Data Flow. You do this by selecting a flow definition and launching the deployment wizard, where you select an environment, provide values for required parameters, configure sizing, inbound connections, custom resources, and KPIs.

  • You have an enabled and healthy Cloudera Data Flow environment.

  • The flow definition you want to deploy has been added to the Catalog by someone with DFCatalogAdmin role.

  • You must have at least DFCatalogViewer role granting you access to the Catalog.

  • You must have at least DFCollectionViewer role granting you access to the collection where the flow definition is located.

  • You must have DFFlowAdmin role for the environment where you want to deploy the flow definition.

  • You must have at least DFProjectMember role for the project where you want to deploy the flow definition.
  • If you deploy custom processors or controller services, you may need to meet additional prerequisites.
