The commands on the lines in this Dockerfile are as follows:

Lines Description
003 - 005 Specifies that the base image to use is the official Docker image for .NET Framework on Windows Server 2016 Server Core.
014 - 021 Define build arguments passed by the docker build command:
  • PRODUCT_VERSION. Indicates the version of Enterprise Developer that this Dockerfile is supplied with.
  • MFLICFILE. Specifies the name of the license file to use for Enterprise Developer.
  • ACCEPT_CONTAINER_EULA. Indicates acceptance of the terms laid out in the license agreement. The default setting of "no" means that you must modify this in order to indicate that you accept the terms of the license agreement.
  • SETUP_EXE. Specifies the name of the Enterprise Developer installation file. The default setting is the name of the file supplied with Enterprise Developer.
  • TOOLS_LOC. Specifies the folder into which Enterprise Developer will be installed.
  • JAVATARFILE. Specifies the name of the .tar file containing the Oracle JDK files that are required to provide Java support by the Oracle JDK. You must provide this file yourself and ensure that you have the required license to use it.
  • JAVAHOMEDIR. Specifies the name of the folder in the image's filesystem into which the files from the JAVATARFILE .tar file will be extracted.
  • TMP_INST_DIR. Specifies a temporary directory to be used while building the image. It is deleted when it is no longer needed.
023 - 028 Specify the metadata labels for the image that will be created. These labels can be queried using the docker inspect command.
031 - 032 Create environment variables to be used in this Dockerfile:
  • TOOLS_LOC is copied from the build argument defined previously.
  • RMT_DIR specifies the location of the COBOL licensing management software. This is installed when you install Enterprise Developer.
035 Specifies that the shell to be used for subsequent instructions is ["cmd", "/S", "/C"].

This is the default for Dockerfiles on Windows but needs to be specified explicitly here because the base image for this Dockerfile is a Microsoft .NET Framework "-build" image, and using that image causes PowerShell to be used as the shell.

038 - 039 Copies the Enterprise Developer installation file into the temporary folder and the Enterprise Developer license file into the folder where Enterprise Developer is to be installed.
042 Sets the Docker working directory to be the temporary directory.
043 - 046 Run the Enterprise Developer installation file specifying parameters to install it silently, into the required directory, creating a log file, and indicating that you have accepted the terms laid out in the license agreement.
049 - 050 Runs a series of concatenated Windows commands to search the Enterprise Developer installation log file for text indicating that the installation failed. If any such text is found no further processing takes place.
053 - 056 Run a series of concatenated Windows commands to license Enterprise Developer.
059 - 060 Enables Java support in the image by untarring the file specified by the JAVATARFILE build argument into the folder specified by the JAVAHOMEDIR build argument, then updating the PATH environment variable to include the bin subfolder of that folder.
063 - 065 Enables Ant support in the image by setting the ANT_HOME and PATH environment variables to include the relevant folders.
068 - 069 Runs a series of concatenated Windows commands to delete the Enterprise Developer installation file and the temporary directory that was used to contain it.
072 Sets the Docker working directory to be the directory into which Enterprise Developer was installed.
