For app building need to convert a 'yxmd' file to 'yxdb' file, since this file (yxmd) needs to be used as the input for app building.

Hi @gsudharsanan 

 

Workflow files .yxmd and database files .yxdb are two different types of files.  The first contains the configuration of the workflow itself in xml format.  The second contains data in a table format.  There's no way to convert one to the other.  You can take the data output of a workflow and save it as .yxdb file using an Output Data tool.  Then read this file using an Input Data tool in the second workflow.

 

Please explain, in detail, what you are trying to accomplish.   Are you trying to build a Chained App?
