Files in the Docker Demonstration for the Visual COBOL Base Image

The files contained in the Docker demonstration for the Visual COBOL base image are as follows:

bld.bat Batch file to automate the process of building Visual COBOL images.

For full details on the parameters you can specify to bld.bat see Running the Docker Demonstration for the Visual COBOL Base Image.

bld.env Configuration file defining various environment variables that are used while building the images. The environment variables define details such as the names of installable files and strings to be used for different parts of the image names.
convsetx.ps1 PowerShell script file used by Dockerfile.x86 and Dockerfile.x64 to configure the COBOL environment to make it specific to 32-bit or 64-bit applications.
Dockerfile Dockerfile used to build the base microfocus/vcbuildtools:win_5.0 and microfocus/vcbuildtools-build:win_5.0 image using OpenJDK from AdoptOpenJDK to provide Java support.

For a detailed look at the commands used in this file, see Dockerfiles in the Docker Demonstration for the Visual COBOL Base Image.

Dockerfile.oraclejava Additional Dockerfile to produce a version of the Visual COBOL base image that uses the Oracle JDK to provide Java support. Visual COBOL does not include the files that provide this support, so you must obtain these files yourself and ensure that you are licensed to use them.
Dockerfile.nojava Additional Dockerfile to produce a base image for Visual COBOL that does not include Java support. You might want to use this if your system already includes a number of different versions of Java and you don't want to introduce another version unnecessarily.
Dockerfile.x64 Dockerfile used to build the microfocus/vcbuildtools:win_5.0_x64 and microfocus/vcbuildtools-build:win_5.0_x64 images based on the microfocus/vcbuildtools:win_5.0 and microfocus/vcbuildtools-build:win_5.0 images respectively.

This is a very simple Dockerfile that uses the convsetx.ps1 PowerShell script file to customize the COBOL environment for use with 64-bit applications.

Dockerfile.x86 Similar to Dockerfile.x64 but builds the microfocus/vcbuildtools:win_5.0_x86 and microfocus/vcbuildtools-build:win_5.0_x86 images for use with 32-bit COBOL applications.
getAdoptOpenJDK.ps1 PowerShell script file used by Dockerfile to perform a number of different operations related to AdoptOpenJDK's OpenJDK, including downloading the required files, unzipping the files, and setting the environment to enable Java support.
palic.env Configuration file used to specify the name of the license (.mflic) file for Visual COBOL.
prodver.env Configuration file containing a setting that specifies the version of Visual COBOL that this Docker demonstration is supplied with.
README*.* Files for HTML and plain text documents containing instructions on how to build the Visual COBOL base images.
vcbt_50.exe The installable executable file for Visual COBOL Build Tools for Windows.
