Using the Docker Demonstrations

Enterprise Server includes a number of Docker demonstrations that illustrate typical uses of Docker with COBOL applications.

These Docker demonstrations include Dockerfiles and related batch/script files to simplify the process of running them, and this documentation contains descriptions of the files that comprise the Docker demonstrations (including detailed descriptions of the Dockerfiles themselves). After running the Docker demonstrations and reading this documentation to help you familiarize yourself with how the demonstrations work you will have all the information you need to enable you to build and use images for use with your own COBOL applications.

The Docker demonstrations are supplied in the file ent_test_server_dockerfiles_4.0_windows.zip which is accessible from the same place that you accessed the Enterprise Test Server installation file. Unzip ent_test_server_dockerfiles_4.0_windows.zip into a folder of your choice to create a series of folders containing the Docker demonstrations.

Each Docker demonstration includes the following:
