The Software Deployment Archive (SDA) is the delivery format for SAP applications in programming languages other than ABAP, for example applications of the J2EE Engine. It is an archive format that is compatible with ZIP and that can be used as a container for other archives. The SDA contains the manifest information, that is package-related data of the contained archive (e.g. jar, war) and an SAP manifest containing additional information about the software logistics. Larger entities can be created in SCA format in the second step from the different SDAs. A Software Component Archive (SCA) is the physical representation of a version of a software component. It contains a selection of SDAs that describe a precise version. Updating an SCA always results in a new version of the software component.
