Hi @ALWOSABY ,

What is the value of the FF_Content? is it the entire JSON record ? if so - as it appears from the specified path - Why not use the EvaluateJsonPath to get whatever values that are  needed and store as attributes by setting the Destination property to flowfile-attribute.

See the following post to learn more: https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/How-to-handle-json-using-EvaluateJsonPath-proces...

If that helps please accept solution.

Thanks

@ALWOSABY, in EvaluateJsonPath, you set EvaluateJsonPath to write the information in the content of the flow file, and not in the attributes. In your next processor, you are using the FF_CONTENT as an attribute and it does not exist ... hence your flow not working as expected. 

Do you require the content of the JSON or do you need to generate some new attributes based on the content of the flow file?

If you require the content as well, I would suggest to add a new EvaluateJsonPath after your first one and modify to write the information as attributes and generate your desired attributes. 

If you only require some new attributes, modify the logic in your first EvaluateJsonPath to write the data as attributes and generate your desired attributes, using the Record Path for JSON. 

Have a look at your first EvaluateJsonPath and make sure that the data is extracted correctly, because it first glance, I am not quite certain it works properly.
