mfdepinst command

Deploys the service interface contained in a COBOL archive file (.car file) to an enterprise server.

Syntax:

mfdepinst myservice.car

Parameters:

myservice.car: The name of the .car file containing the service to be deployed.

Dependencies:

Before running mfdepinst, copy the .mfdeploy file in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Server Enterprise Edition x.x\bin if Server Enterprise Edition is installed stand alone, and %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Studio Enterprise Edition x.x\base\deploy if Server Enterprise Edition is installed as part of Studio Enterprise Edition to the parent directory of the directory that contains the .car file.

.mfdeploy specifies the location, name, and listener for the enterprise server to which the service interface is deployed. So, for example, if the .car file is in %COBDIR%\myservice\myservice.deploy , the .mfdeploy file must be in %COBDIR%\myservice .

Edit .mfdeploy as necessary to specify values other than the default values.

Run mfdepinst from aNet Express command prompt from the same directory that contains the .car file.

Comments:

mfdepinst extracts files from the .car file and installs them on the enterprise server specified in the .mfdeploy file.

mfdepinst records its progress in the file deploylog.txt in the current directory, overwriting any existing deploylog.txt. After mfdepinst completes, you can examine this file to find out if deployment succeeded.
