What the actual curl command will look like depends on whether your NiFi target is secured or not and how it has been secured. I am not completely clear on what you mean by "executing the process group".

Here is an example curl command that can be used to create or update a key/value variable on an existing process group. This example assumes the NiFi has been secured and authorization is via LDAP.

# Obtain a user authentication token:

token=$(curl -k 'https://<hostname>:<port>/nifi-api/access/token'  --data 'username=<username>&password=<password>’)

#Get current process group variable-registry details:

curl -k 'https://<hostname>:<port>/nifi-api/process-groups/<process group uuid>/variable-registry' -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"

#create or update a variable on a specific process group:

curl -k 'https://<hostname>:<port>/nifi-api/process-groups/<process group uuid>/variable-registry/update-requests' -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"processGroupRevision":{"clientId":"<client id from above response>","version":2},"variableRegistry":{"processGroupId":"<process group uuid>","variables":[{"variable":{"name":"new-pg-var","value":"testing1234"}}]}}' --compressed

Note: If you Target Nifi is unsecured you will not need to worry about authentication or authorization. So above command would not require "-k" or "-H "Authorization: Bearer $token". The URL in that case would also be http instead of https.

Thank you,
