Combine GetFile and ExecuteProcess

[#1]

Hi Everyone, can we combine the nifi processors in this sense

GetFile-->ExecuteProcess or GetFile --> ExecuteStreamCommand

if yes how can we do it?

@Justee 

Not really sure what you mean by "combine".  Can you elaborate on your use case?

You can drag a connection from GetFile to either ExecuteProcess or ExecuteStreamCommand, but is suspect that is not what you are asking here.

Thank you,

Matt

Hi @MattWho  by combine i meant drag a connection from GetFile to ExecuteProcess or ExecuteStreamCommand i have a flowfile which is composed of GetFile processor which collects the data and passes it to MergeContent processor to get a single file of several lines. i want to filter its lines and then classify them . and i was thinking of using ExecuteProcess or ExecuteStreamCommand. you can also give me a suggestion.

The ExecuteProcess [1] processor by design does not allow an inbound connection. It is designed to create an output FlowFile and does not except a FlowFile as input.

You can connect getFile to the ExecuteStreamCommand [2] processor
