How To Deploy EAR Files for Java Stack when your OS is UNIX

In order to perform this activity you need to have access to OS level and the password for the SDM Deployment tool.

The next steps will highlight the most important actions necessary for a successful deployment:

1. upload the package file (*.ear) to the server , usually in the following path: /usr/sap/trans

2. change the owner of the file to SIDadm user with the command:

chown SIDadm:sapsys file_name.ear

3. ensure you are logged on OS level with SIDadm user and export the DISPLAY to some VNCServer session:

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:1   password

If the vncserver session 1 is not started already, then you can simply start it as root user with the command : vncserver

Every time you enter the command vcnserver, e new session DISPLAY will be created, so the export DISPLAY command will look like:

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:2   password

In order to set some new password for the session, run the command: vncpasswd new_pass

4. on your windows machine you must have the vncserver program installed also, so you will open it and connect to: 192.168.0.1:1

5. now you have to go in the path where the SDM Tool is installed, such as:

/usr/sap/SID/JC01/SDM/program

6. run: ./RemoteGui.sh

7. on the vncserver session started on your computer the SDM interface will appear, so you will have to do the following:

-->>Deployment-->> select SCAs/SDAs for Deplyment then choose Add button (select the file from the /usr/sap/trans directory) -->> Next (you will press it few times) -->> Confirm (read the summary of the package deployment and press the Confirm button)

8. finaly don't forget to Logout else you have to kill the SDM and restart it.
