Description

When we are developing/testing or a simple data refresh it's needed we launch a  flowfile via GenerateFlowFile, for this you have to:

• Open the processor
• go to schedule
• change cron to time, set a time like 3600.
• Apply changes
• start and stop the processor
• Open the processor
• go to schedule
• change time to cron (paste the cron you copied earlier)
• apply changes
• Start the processor

It will be nice to have something like "right click->generate FlowFile" or something like that to launch 1 batch of the configured flowfile to avoid the time and errors that could happen when following the previous steps.

 

thanks!
