Chapter 1 Getting Started for Analysts : Modelled Application Archive

Modelled Application Archive
To enable the Business Analyst to access all the artifacts of a BPM project from a single location, TIBCO Business Studio saves the project as a Modelled Application Archive (MAA) file with a .maa file extension.
The MAA file contains information about the BPM project and its artifacts such as the organizational model, business object model, business processes, and packages.
Lifecycle of an MAA file
