Once the flowfiles are finished, the contents are wipe out from memory, and can't be found in Repository. --- Correct</P><P>In contrast, the disk-based volatile content repository will keep the contents for flowfiles even out of the flow, based on the retention setting. -- The File System Content Repository archives flow files after they are dropped from the flow based on the two archive properties nifi.content.repository.archive.max.retention.period and nifi.content.repository.archive.max.usage.percentage</P> Mon, 21 Aug 2017 22:29:47 GMT Wynner 2017-08-21T22:29:47Z
