Additional Information on Using Docker for COBOL Application Deployment

All of the concepts that are outlined in this section are illustrated in the Docker demonstrations. These demonstrations are supplied with Enterprise Server and illustrate how to build a range of images to perform different tasks, from being used as a base image for running Enterprise Server to debugging a sample CICS application. See Docker Demonstrations for a list of all of the supplied Docker demonstrations as well as detailed line-by-line descriptions of the most significant files in them.

For more information see:

• Building a Base Image Containing Enterprise Server for a description of how to create a base image that includes Enterprise Server.
• Building an Image Containing an Application to Run Under Enterprise Server for a description of how to extend the Enterprise Server base image with applications of your own to run under Enterprise Server.
• The Docker Demonstration for the Enterprise Server Base Image for a detailed look at the Docker demonstration files supplied with Enterprise Server that show how to create a base image for Enterprise Developer Build Tools for Windows.
• The CICS Docker Demonstration for a detailed look at how the Docker demonstration files supplied with Enterprise Server extend the Enterprise Developer Build Tools for Windows base image with an application that you can debug, test, or run.
• Key Concepts When Using Docker for COBOL Application Development for an overview of the concepts you need to be aware of before creating images in which you can build, debug or test your COBOL applications.
