Revert local changes problem in NiFi

avatar
New Contributor

I changed a controller service property in a processor in a procees group which is under a version control with Nifi Registry. In the property I changed from controller service A to controller service B (the names and types doesn't really matter).
Then when I check the "show local changes" I can see this change there.
Then, I'm trying to "revert local changes", but nothing happens, this specific change is still there.
When I'm trying to change it by myself back from controller service B to A, it does work.
My question is, why the "revert local changes" doesn't revert this specific change?

Not all local changes result in a change to the version controlled flow.  
It is typical for a single NiFi-Registry to be used by multiple NiFi deployments (example would be dev and prod deployments).
A flow built in the dev environment may be have different configuration based on that dev environment versus what is used in the same dataflow deployed in the prod environment.

The following actions are not considered local changes:

  • stopping/starting processors

  • modifying sensitive property values

  • modifying remote process group URLs

  • updating a processor that was referencing a non-existent controller service to reference an externally available controller service

  • assigning, creating, modifying or deleting parameter contexts

  • creating, modifying or deleting variables

Sharing the exact Apache NiFi or Cloudera Flow Management (CFM) version along with the reproduction steps executed in yoru environment would be helpful.
