Updating and storing an exported YXDB file on server

Good Afternoon, 

 

I have a small dataset (4 fields less than 100 records) that will be deployed on server.

 

I am wanting to create a yxdb file that would be exported with the workflow and act as a self contained DB for this data. 

I don't see any reason for writing it to a SQL database if I don't have to since it is only adding 1 record per month.

 

Let's say right now I have 101 records AFTER I ran it this month. Would the new record persist when the process is re-run, or would it revert back to the original 100 records?

 

If I need to provide more detail, please let me know!

Hi @rstowe ,

 

It will always use the file you first exported as input.

 

You are probably aware, but just to mention you also have the option to use a shared folder to manage this file.

 

Best,
