To deploy a COBOL application to .NET Core

Attention: .NET Core on Linux is provided as an Early Adopter Program (EAP) feature only. It is being made available to allow you to test and provide feedback on the new capabilities. Be aware that file locking does not work in all instances, and may cause exceptions or the ignoring of file locks. We will continue the development of this feature and provide additional interfaces via patch updates and future releases. Please contact Micro Focus SupportLine if you require further clarification.

You can use a number of methods to deploy the files that were produced when an application was published. Examples of the methods you could use include:

Running one or more operating system commands to copy the required files and folders to the target machine.
Using a software installation package.
Zipping the published files into an archive, copying the archive to the target machine then extracting its contents.

Once the published files for an application have been deployed, how your users run the application varies depending on the type of deployment:

For a framework-dependent deployment the command to use is:
```
dotnet application-name.dll
```
For a self-contained deployment on Linux the command is:
```
application-name
```
For a self-contained deployment on Windows the command is:
```
application-name.exe
```
