After a COBOL program has been mapped using the Interface Mapping Toolkit, it needs to be deployed to an Enterprise Server instance. During the development process the developer deploys the interface using the Deploy tool, which is part of the Toolkit. This tool not only automatically deploys the interface to an Enterprise Server instance, it also packages all the files required to deploy a service to a COBOL archive file (.car file). Typically, once the service is ready to be run in a production environment, deployment becomes your responsibility. You deploy the interface from the .car file created when the Deploy tool was last used.
If the service has been mapped as an EJB interface, there are some extra tasks to perform:
