Changing the Metadata File Format

You can convert an APP file to an XML file and an XML file to an APP file in Metadata Manager by saving the file with the desired file extension.

  To save an XML file as an APP file:

  1. Click Open File, and select the XML file to convert.

  2. Click Save File.

  3. From the Save as Type drop-down list, select APP files(*.app).

  4. Modify the file name, and change the file extension to APP.

  5. Click Save.

    Note:

    When you open a newly converted APP file in Metadata Manager, you are prompted to enter the delimiter character. Delimiters are required only for APP files.
