[kepler-users] Difference between saving a workflow as a xml or a kar??

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Santosh,

     In my understanding, saving a workflow as a kar file could include 
more content than just xml. Besides the xml file, a kar file could also 
have workflow meta data, execution history (it needs additional Kepler 
module to enable), and so on.

     You can find more information about kar information at 
https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/framework/kepler-archive-kar.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
