To install a deployment package using mfdepinst

  1. If you don't already have one, generate a COBOL archive (.car) file by either deploying a service interface from an Enterprise Developer project or using the imtkmake command.
  2. Copy the .mfdeploy file, located by default in $COBDIR/deploy, 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.
  3. 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

  4. 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

See the mfdepinst command reference topic for complete information.
