Running the Docker Demonstration for the Enterprise Server Base Image

The Docker demonstration to create the Enterprise Server base image 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.

Note: When using bld.bat to create a base image for Enterprise Server you need to ensure that the relevant installation files and licenses are available in the same folder as bld.bat. These are:
  • The installable executable file for Enterprise Server. This is es_50.exe and is supplied in the Docker demonstration for the Enterprise Server base image.
  • The appropriate license (.mflic) file for Enterprise Server.

The command to execute the batch file to run the Docker demonstration for the Enterprise Server base image is as follows:

bld.bat { IacceptEULA [install-location] |
          rmi }

where the parameters are:

IacceptEULA
Indicates that you accept the Micro Focus End User License Agreement (EULA).

You must specify IacceptEULA to create a base image containing Enterprise Server.

install-location
Specifies the name of the folder in the image filesystem into which Enterprise Server will be installed. If specified, this must be the last parameter.
rmi
Indicates that you want to remove any previously-created Enterprise Server base images. Specifying rmi results in the execution of a number of docker rmi --force commands to remove all Enterprise Server base images.
