@Soumya Ghosh 1. The DistibuteMapCacheServer (DMC server) has not direct linkage to a dataflow built in NiFi. Thus when creating a template of your flow from NiFi for the purpose of generating your MiNiFi yaml file, the DMC Server will not be included in the template. Only the DMC client service will be included. I have not tried to manually add the DMC server to the yaml file, but is likely possible. MiNiFi does not have a rest-api where you can send command to add additional components like you can do it NiFi. 2. The only way to host a DMC server is via a NIFi instance. There is not way to execute a NAR file. 3. A major limitation to using the DMC server is lack of HA. If the NiFi instance hosting the DMC server crashes you lost all your cached data (assuming crash is not recoverable. The recommended path is to configure you ListFile processor to use one of the other available external cache server that offer HA capability. These alternate cache service are setup independent of NiFi or MiNiFi and will offer you what you need to support using Entity tracking in your ListFile processor running on MiNiFi.
