How to host the biExport Widget on-premise

This post shall give you guidance if you want to host the resources of the biExport Custom Widget yourself. By default, the biExport Widget’s resources are hosted on biexcellence servers available via cdn.biexcellence.com.

Downloading the resource files

The biExport Custom Widget can be downloaded from github.com/biexcellence/biexport-sac/releases.

The biExport Custom Widget references two JavaScript libraries: biexport.js (runtime functions) and biexport_aps.js (design pane).

When you open the biexport.json file, you will find the following two links:

Please note that the “xxxxxx” path depends on the version of the biExport Widget that you want to install. This is why we do not provide the links here, but you should look them up yourself.

Download the resources from the URLs and upload them to your on-premise system.

Changing the Widget’s JSON file

In the JSON file, replace above URLs with the URLs of your on-premise system.
Then upload the JSON file to your SAC tenant.

Please note that your on-premise system needs to enable CORS, so the browser can access the file from the SAC tenant domain.

Please note that this activity has to be repeated whenever you want to update the Custom Widget.
