This plug-in provides the capability to export an application's foundation services deployment configuration from a SAS Metadata Repository to a UTF-8 encoded XML file. This file serves two purposes:

• import/export foundation services metadata to/from a SAS Metadata Repository
• file source for use with deploying an application's foundation services
