Describes the files generated by
Visual COBOL when you deploy a service interface.
Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments (local development) only.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
A service interface deployment package is generated when you deploy, and is contained in a COBOL Archive (
.car) file. This is a standard zip archive that includes the following:
- manifest file
- An XML document that contains deployment information such as the name of the service and a description of the
.car file.
- interface definition table
- A file that describes the service interface. The file extension is
.idt.
- specified package files
- Other files optionally added to the package.
The name of a deployment package file is
myService.car where
myService is the name of your service interface. By default,
Visual COBOL generates the
.car file in your project's
repos\myService.deploy directory.
