Unpacking an *.mtar Archive

The holiday season is just around the corner, and with that, unpacking gifts will come as well. And "unpacking" is also the theme of this video, in which Marius will show you what is inside an *.mtar archive and how the MTA Archive Builder uses the build instructions from the mta.yaml file.


Background Reading:
The used project is a mix of these two sample projects:
http://sap.to/6057JUTvN
http://sap.to/6059JUTvf
The Multitarget Application Model: http://sap.to/6050JUTvA
MTA Deployment Descriptor Syntax: http://sap.to/6052JUTvC: 3/en-US/4050fee4c469498ebc31b10f2ae15ff2.html
http://sap.to/6053JUTvh

You will learn:
- What the MTA.yaml is
- How to inspect the file
- What the mtad.yaml file and how it compares
- That this can be used to see why a deployment might fail (missing files) or have no effect (old files end up in the mtar archive)
