Running the CICS Docker Demonstration

The CICS Docker demonstration includes a batch file (bld.bat) to make the process of running the demonstration as easy as possible. This topic lists and describes the parameters that you can specify when running bld.bat.

The command to execute the batch file to run the CICS Docker demonstration is as follows:

bld.bat { {dn|x64|x86} [debug]  |
          package               |
          rmi }

where the parameters are:

debug
Indicates that you want to debug the CICS application rather than simply execute it. Specifying debug causes Dockerfile.debug to be run rather than Dockerfile.
dn
Indicates that you want to run the CICS application in a .NET environment.
package
Indicates that you want to rebuild the COBOL application. Specifying package runs a series of MSBuild commands and Powershell scripts to recreate the CICS application.
x64
Indicates that you want to run the CICS application in a 64-bit environment.
x86
Indicates that you want to run the CICS application in a 32-bit environment.
rmi
Indicates that you want to remove any previously-created CICS Docker demonstration images. Specifying rmi results in the execution of a number of docker rmi --force commands to remove any CICS Docker demonstration images.
