Installing SAP Enterprise Designer in HXE
To be able to install EA Designer in HXE, you first need to copy the eadesigner.tgz file to your HXE server. SAP is not making the file available as a free available standalone download. You get the file with the HXE downloader.
First “problem” to solve is how to get the file on your HXE. In my case: a VM running on Proxmox.
If you have the eadesigner.tgz file on your laptop, and HXE server is in the same network as you are (e.g. WLAN), you can copy the file using scp. As an alternative, you can host the eadesigner.tgz file on an HTTP server and download it from there. For tomcat, copy the file eadesigner.tgz to the root directory and start tomcat.
Tomcat
Copy file to: webapps/ROOT Start tomcat: ./bin/startup
HXE
Go to Downloads directory:
cd /usr/sap/HXE/home/Downloads
Download file from HXE:
curl http://192.168.0.1 /easdesigner.tgz –outfile eadesigner.tgz
Preparations
After having the file locally available in HXE you can start the installation procedure. Start with extracting the file content.
tar -xzvf eadesigner.tgz
