Managed COBOL applications require Server Enterprise Edition to enable them to run. Server Enterprise Edition 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 Server Enterprise Edition.
When you install Server Enterprise Edition, 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 Server Enterprise Edition 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.
