You can transport Composite Application Framework (CAF) content between composite applications deployed on different Application Server Java (AS Java) systems.
Note that if you have selected more that one business object node and there is an association between any of the selected business object nodes, the association data is automatically transported as well.
Do not use SDA files to extract database content in production systems. These SDA files are not stored in any version control system and they are not a part of the upgrade procedure.
