Adding sequence Number to filename

Explorer

Hi Nifi Experts,

I have a requirement to add a sequence number to file names in sequential order and reset the value to 1 on next run. 

 

Job is scheduled to run once every hour. I could see we can achieve incrementing the value using getStatevalue but not sure how can we reset the value. Could you please help me.

 

Thanks,

Kumar

Maybe you could reset the state via NiFi-REST-API at beginning of your flow?


Hava a look here: https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/rest-api/index.html

 

Could be:
POST "https://[ip:port]/nifi-api/processors/${pg-id}/state/clear-requests"

 

This is the request which NiFi itself uses when you go to the processor in the UI and choose the menu-option "view state" -> "clear state".
