Specifying the Location of Linked Folders

If your COBOL applications developed in Visual COBOL for Eclipse use linked folders, you need to specify their location in the Jenkins project's configuration in order for them to be available at build time.

To specify the location of linked folders:

  1. Establish the linked folders that your project is using. To do this:
    1. Build your application in Visual COBOL.
    2. Check the console log and note the printLocations locations at the start of the console output.

      These are the locations of the linked folders.

  2. When adding the command for building the .cobolBuild file to the Jenkins project configuration, specify any linked folders using the following syntax:
    -Dlinkedfolder.folderName=folderLocation
