Variable "current.flow.name" is not populating on shared flow hooks

[adevegowda]

We have created cache policies on the shared flow and using them on the Pre-proxy Flow Hook and using the <KeyFragment ref="current.flow.name"/> as a cache key to read the cache. When we trace the call the flow variable current.flow.name is populating as empty which resulting the cache lookup to fail.

Can we use the flow variable "current.flow.name" in shared flow ? Or is there some issue with populating this variable in shared flow ?

Hi @AMAR DEVEGOWDA, The current.flow.name should work in your shared flows but not in Flow hooks.
As per the definition,

Pre-proxy Flow Hook for logic that needs to be enforced BEFORE a proxy endpoint executes.
Based on that I am assuming you cannot get the current.flow.name.

@Maruti Chand,

Thanks for your response. You are right the flow variable "current.flow.name" is not available in Pre-proxy Flow Hook. However, if I use the shared flow in the Pre-target Flow Hook, I am able to see it.
