title: SAP Cloud Platform Deploy MTAR via CF CLI
body: <p>We had a demo MTA running on SAP Cloud Foundry. This MTA was build via the mta_archive_builder tool provided by SAP and deployed via the CF CLI. Now, about a year later, we want to update this MTA, nothing major, just a properties update.</p>
  
  <p>Before I tried building and deploying anything, I upgraded all the required tools.</p>
  
  <p>The MTA builds just fine, but when deploying the MTAR, the upload of our java application(s) fails. The logs states that the environment expects some ZIP file. The mtar archive only holds .jar files, should those be ZIP's? If so, how?</p>
  
  <p>I already tried using the new MTA builder, without any luck. The same problem occurs.</p>
