Since NW04s SPS09 there is also an off-line way to transport the xml configuration to the UWL via UWL Deployment Hook. Here are the steps to be performed.
Create the zip file for your xml configuration (see help.sap.com ). For example, uwl_sample.zip. If no internationalization is needed then instead of uwl_sample.zip an xml file itself can be used, but it also has to start with uwl_, for example uwl_sample.xml.Put your zip file in a SDA file (in this example the configuration is sample, and the project is com.sap.xyz.sample). The SDA file will also contain
<font face="courier, bookman" size=1> META-INFMANIFEST.MF<br> META-INFSAP_MANIFEST.MF<br> META-INFcom.sap.xyz.sample-dd.xml<br></FONT></p><p> <b>MANIFEST.MF:</b><br><br> <font face="courier, bookman" size=1> Manifest-Version: 1.0 Specification-Version: 1.0
