Editing a migrated flow outside of Flow Designer

If you want to edit the migrated NiFi 2.x flow definition outside Flow Designer, you can download it with its associated migration report and resolve open issues in an external tool.

  1. Once the migration is complete, click [Download] in Flow Designer to retrieve the TAR.GZ package containing the flow_definition.json and migration_report.json files.
  2. Open the flow_definition.json and migration_report.json files.
  3. In the migration_report.json file look for manual-change-request and manual-inspection-request entries. and modify the flow_definition.json accordingly.
    Manual Change Request
    Describes changes that cannot be applied automatically and require human intervention. For example, deprecated components without replacements or decisions requiring domain expertise.
    Manual Inspection Request
    Highlights changes that should be explicitly reviewed to ensure correctness. These changes may or may not require adjustments.
  4. After addressing all open issues, import the flow definition to Cloudera Data Flow Catalog.
