Additional Information on Using Docker for COBOL Application Development

All of the concepts that are outlined in this section are illustrated in the Docker demonstrations. These demonstrations are supplied with Enterprise Developer and illustrate how to build a range of images to perform different tasks, from being used as a base image for running Enterprise Developer 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 Developer Build Tools for Windows for a description of how to create a base image that includes Enterprise Developer.
• Building an Image Containing an Application to use with Enterprise Developer Build Tools for Windows for a description of how to extend the Enterprise Developer base image with applications of your own that you can run and debug using Enterprise Developer.
• The Docker Demonstration for the Enterprise Developer Base Image for a detailed look at the Docker demonstration files supplied with Enterprise Developer 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 Developer 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 Deployment for an overview of the concepts you need to be aware of before creating images in which you can run your COBOL applications using Enterprise Server.
