Question is too generic... And the convertion might not be trivial either depending on thre existing code and what would need to change.

Depends on how well it was written from the start. If you have a good separation between your Data Access, Buisness Logic and UI layers, then it might not be too difficult. If you haven't then it may be better to start again from scratch...

Could you please provide the steps for the conversion

Create an empty SPI application and then add stuff from existing application until the new application has all required functionality.

You might also try to move code in the other direction. That is move the newly generated code into the existing application.

Love the technical term: "add stuff" :laugh:
Concise, accurate, and completely useless...if I could upvote comments, I would have!
