Overview of Deploying COBOL Applications to the .NET Environment

Managed COBOL applications require Enterprise Server to enable them to run. Enterprise Server provides support for managed COBOL and also for native COBOL. The native COBOL support enables your application to interoperate with native COBOL.

Before you deploy your application, you must first install Enterprise Server.

When you install Enterprise Server, both the native and the managed support is installed. The installation process adds the managed code support files to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), as well as installing the files into the Enterprise Server directory.

You can deploy COBOL applications using a setup project, or you can copy the files manually. You can also deploy ASP.NET applications using the Publish Web Site tool in Visual Studio.
