To install a deployment package using the mfdepinst command
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
- If you don't already have one, generate a COBOL archive (.car) file using the Deploy tool or the
imtkmake command.
- Copy the
.mfdeploy file, located by default in
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\COBOL Server\bin
, to the parent directory of the
.car file that you want to deploy. For example, if the
.car file is in
%COBDIR%\deploy\test
, the
.mfdeploy file must be copied to
%COBDIR%\deploy
.
- Open the
.mfdeploy file in a text editor, and edit the MFES_SERVER line. By default this is set to ESDEMO. Change it to specify the name of the enterprise server you want to use, as follows:
MFES_SERVER=myserver
- Deploy the
.car file using the
mfdepinst command. For example, to deploy the services in
myservice.car, enter the following at a command prompt:
mfdepinst myservice.car
