To use XSA, first you must download the additional XSA components from SAP Support - Software Downloads - these packages are in addition to the base HANA Platform.
Knowing exactly which files are required can be tricky, so I have captured those below.
I used HANA 2.00.23 (HANA 2 SP2 Rev 23).
The filenames above will change depending on the exact service pack and patch level available, I would usually recommend using the latest and greatest when possible.
Now that you have downloaded the 4 files, you only need to extract the EXTAPPSER00P_71-70001316.SAR, leave the .zip files whole.
To install XSA you should place these files within the parent directory tree of the original HANA media (usually called SAP_HANA_DATABASE).
I now have the following structure
I can then execute the hdblcm command below and it finds all the previously downloaded packages.
When I ran the command above I had already installed XSA and the XSA Apps (zip files).
If you look closely there's an issue with the versioning, an extra 00 being inserted. The version installed is the same as the version in the .zip files.
Once installed we can go to your URL similar to https://mo-3fda111e5.mo.sap.corp:30030/ to see the various ports each XSA app is running on.
There an alternative way to manage and install XSA apps such as the WebIDE. They can be installed with the xs client, from either the HANA server or a desktop machine. I won't cover all the apps here, but you can see the main syntax below.
Hopefully this gives you a quick guide to getting XSA and WebIDE installed.
This is just my experience, you should also refer to the official documentation.
