To deploy a COBOL Web site to the .NET environment

We recommend that you use Visual Studio to publish COBOL Web sites, as follows:

  1. Click Build > Publish Web Site and specify the target location. See the Visual Studio Help for details.

Alternatively, you can deploy a COBOL Web site manually, as follows:

  1. Create a folder on the deployment machine to contain the Web site.
  2. Copy the files in the Web Site folder and its subfolders to the new location.

    If you cannot copy the files because of a "file is in use" error, you need to stop IIS and restart it. Then you should be able to copy the files.

  3. Execute the application from the new location.
