Before deterministic template export, the xml elements and ids of elements were not built in a standardized way, so changes in the flow generated unpredictable changes to the exported template xml (for example, the xml child element of a processor could change position among all child elements in a way that did not map to changes in the flow). This made change management difficult since deltas in flows represented by a template were not mapped directly to deltas in the template xmls.</P><P>This feature was resolved in NiFi 1.0.0:</P><P><A href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-826" target="_blank">https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-826</A></P> Tue, 20 Dec 2016 12:45:59 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/What-is-meant-by-Deterministic-Template-export-in-nifi-1-0/m-p/174564#M46204 gkeys 2016-12-20T12:45:59Z
