Oozie editor in HUE doesn't show workflows I submited by oozie command

I submited a workflow and run the job by oozie command:

oozie job -oozie http://node1:11000/oozie -config job.properties -submit
oozie job -oozie http://node1:11000/oozie -start [job_id]

it worked well. And I wanted to edit the workflow by oozie editor in HUE but couldn't find it. What shall I do to make the workflow shown in oozie editor? CDH version: 5.9

Solution

  • I would not recommend o use HUE for editing workflows. As it uses set of metadata stored in DB and owned by itself it will not allow you to introduce changes into workflow submitted from the outside.

    Hue is pretty nice tool for prototyping and monitoring the workflow/coordinator progress, checking the logs and having a first view in case of any issue investigation. You can import your xml and allow editing via GUI - http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/03/how-to-import-a-pre-existing-oozie-workflow-into-hue/ , but this is hard to manage and maintain in production like environments. For example running multiple instances of the workflow with various parameters.
