SAP-Specific Deployment as SCA Using JSPM 

Use

Deployment as a software component archive gives you all the advantages of the Java Support Package Manager (JSPM):

●      Deployment information is saved in the database and can be tracked.

●      Deployment management takes place at exactly one location

●      Distribution to cluster nodes.

●      Migration can be controlled.

Deployment as an SCA is optional, but recommended.

Features

A valid SCA for a resource adapter consists of the following files:

Files in the SCA

File Name	Use

SAP_MANIFEST.MF with path META-INF	Contains version numbers, content, and component names, similar to a catalog. The JSPM uses the information to manage deployment information in its database. More information: SAPXIAF<SP>_<HF>.sca, SAP_MANIFEST.MF
