I am trying to build a flow which regularly gets every JIRA Ticket from my JIRA instance as input data. This works fine however only the first time the flow runs because it saves the retrieved tickets in its snapshot. When I run the flow the second time flowground will not retrieve any JIRA Tickets because they were already retrieved in the first execution. Is there a way to disable this behavior in flowground so that it will retrieve all of the tickets again in the subsequent runs?

  • Idea: add a previous step where you overwrite the content of the snapshot object. – Sebastian Lang Nov 21 '19 at 15:20
  • @SebastianLang could you elaborate a bit more on that? How can I do this? – Luis Dille Nov 21 '19 at 15:58
  • In the step previous to the JIRA connector, you could try to use, e.g. the NodeJS connector, to emit a new snapshot and by that, overwriting the current value. https://support.elastic.io/support/solutions/folders/14000112651 – Sebastian Lang Nov 22 '19 at 07:55
  • Another idea for a work-around: https://api.flowground.net/docs/v2/#remove-snapshot-for-one-step-in-flow – Sebastian Lang Nov 26 '19 at 14:58

just tested the idea to manipulate the snapshot before the connector is executed. There is a API function for CRUD operations on snapshots. But you cannot edit a snapshot that is owned by a already started flow. You will get an error message in this case:

{"errors":[{"detail":"Can not edit snapshot in started flow","status":409,"code":409,"title":"Conflict",....

So you are able to reset the snapshot before you start the flow only...but this won't really help you...
I do not see another way beside changing the connectors behavior.
