Using Jenkins to Build COBOL Applications

The following sections describe aspects of Enterprise Developer's behavior that you need to configure to enable your Enterprise Developer system to work with Jenkins.

In a Jenkins environment you often use Jenkins installed on a master machine to control processes that execute on a number of other machines (agents) running different operating systems that also have Enterprise Developer installed. In such configurations, it is useful to have the same Enterprise Developer configuration settings on all agents.

Micro Focus recommends that you install Enterprise Developer using the same default settings and locations on all Windows and UNIX machines where you will execute your build, test, analysis and deployment tasks. This will make it easier to configure your Jenkins projects.
