To deploy a COBOL application to .NET

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
