The Dockerfile.nojava File in the Docker Demonstration for the Visual COBOL Base Image

This topic lists and describes the Dockerfile.nojava file from the Docker demonstration for the Visual COBOL base image. The Dockerfile is listed in its entirety and a following table describes the various Dockerfile commands. The line numbers in the listings of the Dockerfile have been added to aid readability. They are not present in the supplied Dockerfile.

The commands on the lines in this Dockerfile are as follows:

Lines	Description
003 - 004	Specifies that the base image to use is the official Docker image for .NET Framework on Windows Server 2016 Server Core.
011 - 016	Define build arguments passed by the docker build command: PRODUCT_VERSION. Indicates the version of Visual COBOL that this Dockerfile is supplied with. MFLICFILE. Specifies the name of the license file to use for Visual COBOL. ACCEPT_CONTAINER_EULA. Indicates acceptance of the terms laid out in the license agreement. The default setting of "no" means that you must modify this in order to indicate that you accept the terms of the license agreement. SETUP_EXE. Specifies the name of the Visual COBOL installation file. The default setting is the name of the file supplied with Visual COBOL. TOOLS_LOC. Specifies the folder into which Visual COBOL will be installed. TMP_INST_DIR. Specifies a temporary directory to be used while building the image. It is deleted when it is no longer needed. Note: Unlike Dockerfile, Dockerfile.nojava does not need to define the arguments JAVATARFILE and JAVAHOMEDIR.
018 - 022	Specify the metadata labels for the image that will be created. These labels can be queried using the docker inspect command. Note: Unlike Dockerfile, Dockerfile.nojava does not need to include an entry for com.microfocus.third_parties.java.
025 - 026	Create environment variables to be used in this Dockerfile: TOOLS_LOC is copied from the build argument defined previously. RMT_DIR specifies the location of the COBOL licensing management software. This is installed when you install Visual COBOL. Note: Unlike Dockerfile, Dockerfile.nojava does not need to define the arguments JAVA_PKG and JAVA_HOME.
029	Specifies that the shell to be used for subsequent instructions is `["cmd", "/S", "/C"]`. This is the default for Dockerfiles on Windows but needs to be specified explicitly here because the base image for this Dockerfile is a Microsoft .NET Framework "-build" image, and using that image causes PowerShell to be used as the shell.
032 - 033	Copies the Visual COBOL installation file into the temporary folder and the Visual COBOL license file into the folder where Visual COBOL is to be installed.
036 - 039	Run the Visual COBOL installation file specifying parameters to install it silently, into the required directory, creating a log file, and indicating that you have accepted the terms laid out in the license agreement.
042 - 043	Runs a series of concatenated Windows commands to search the Visual COBOL installation log file for text indicating that the installation failed. If any such text is found no further processing takes place.
046 - 049	Runs a series of concatenated Windows commands to license Visual COBOL.
052 - 053	Runs a series of concatenated Windows commands to delete the Visual COBOL installation file and the temporary directory that was used to contain it.
056	Sets the Docker working directory to be the directory into which Visual COBOL was installed.
