Error importing flows from a registry instance to a fresh nifi instance

[#1]

We save some flows into a registry with postgresql and now we want to transfer to a fresh nifi instance but we are getting this error:

The Flow Registry with ID ? reports that no Flow exists with Bucket ?, Flow

Any suggestion what is it happening?

@alan18080   It seems this may be related to Process Group within a Process Group ( a known bug), but its hard to know based only on this error.   You may find more verbose information in the nifi log which will help better resolve.

Here is one solution for the same:

@alan18080 

Please provide more details around the steps you are performing and the exact versions of Apache NiFi and Apache NiFi-Registry you are using.

So you have an existing NiFi-Registry configured to use Postgres as its metadata database.  You have already version controlled some NiFi process group(s) to buckets within this registry.  And now you are trying to export those version controlled process groups from this NiFi-Registry and import into another NiFi-Registry?

What version are the two NiFi-Registries?
What steps did you perform that eventually resulted in the exception encountered?  I am not clear on what you are doing when you say "transfer".
Sharing the complete error and stack trace can also be helpful.

Thank you,
Matt

Hello,

Nifi registry: apache/nifi-registry;0.8.0

Steps:

We deploy nifi and nifi-registry in kubernetes cluster.

We set up nifi-registry with postgresql as flowprovider.

We create a PG with con flows from nifi and start version with nifi-registry.

We delete all deployments and pvc (nifi and nifi-registry) from kubernetes but we keep postgresql database.

We deploy again nifi and nifi-registry

We see in nifi-registry the PG that we versioned

We try to import in nifi the PG from nifi-registry and we get the message "

The Flow Registry with ID ? reports that no Flow exists with Bucket ?, Flow ?"

Thanks for the support.
