Read in multiple files and immediately output them as individual YXDB files.

I have multiple XML files (or single sheet Excel files). 

 

I want to read them in (I use a batch macro). and then immediately output them as individual YXDB files on a 1 for 1 basis that I can then use in my workflows to parse.  How can I output them as individual YXDBs corresponding to input file?

Hi @hellyars,

 

Since you are using a batch macro to read them in, output either the filename or the full path from the input tool, then add a Formula tool to change either the file type or the file type and path.  Then have the Output tool take the File Name from a field in the data and change the entire file path.

 

Output to YXDB.png
