All deployment services must have their Service Class attribute set to 'MF deployment'. They must be associated with a listener that uses the conversation type 'Web'.
The configuration information for a deployment service looks like this:
[MF client] scheme=http URL=virtual-directory-name-1/mfdeploy.exe/virtual-directory-name-2 accept=application/x-zip-compressed
where virtual-directory-name-1 specifies the directory that holds the deploy program, mfdeploy.exe, and virtual-directory-name-2 specifies a directory to contain deployed services.
The values for the scheme and accept parameters must not be changed, but when you are creating a new deployment service you can omit them, as these are the defaults.
The settings for the Deployer service of ESDEMO are:
[MF client] scheme=http URL=/cgi/mfdeploy.exe/uploads accept=application/x-zip-compressed
The configuration of a deployment service must match the configuration of the listener for the service. The URL parameter must specify the same virtual directory name for the location of the mfdeploy.exe program as the listener uses. You can change the virtual path to receive deployed services to any virtual directory name configured for the listener.
For example, if the listener's configuration was:
[MF client] scheme=http URL=/studioenterpriseedition/mfdeploy.exe/project1 accept=application/x-zip-compressed
and services deployed using the "project1" service would be stored under c:\development\project1. You could create a similar service for project2.
Note that the deployment directory must have a .mfdeploy file. Copy the .mfdeploy file from %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\COBOL Server\bin and modify it as necessary.
For example, if COBOL Server is installed in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2012, then "<ES>/deploy" becomes %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2012\deploy.
