How to convert my existing source code retrieve by Ant migration tool to SFDX supported metadata.

1. First crate a sfdx project/workspace from CLI (Check http://sfdccodepractices.blogspot.com/2019/01/sfdx-setup-guide.html for command help. Say folder name is “SFDX_Supported_Metadata” under "D" drive. Hence project path is "D:\SFDX_Supported_Metadata".

2. After project creation system will automatically create SFDX folder and file structure. Say our project is created under "D:\SFDX_Supported_Metadata\SfdxDemo".

3. Change directory to that folder (D:\SFDX_Supported_Metadata\SfdxDemo) in CLI.

4. Now retrieve the source code using ANT migration tool. Say source code is retrieve under "D:\ANT_Supported_Metadata" folder.

5. Now run the below sfdx command for conversion (From Ant supported meta data to SFDX supported meta data).

sfdx force:mdapi:convert -r D:\ANT_Supported_Metadata

6. Once the above command will run successfully, it will put all meta-data under project root directory with suitable sfdx structure. Root directory is “D:\SFDX_Supported_Metadata\SfdxDemo\force-app\main\default”.

7. So, our structure is finally ready for SFDX use.
