Deploying Enterprise Server for .NET Applications into Azure

To deploy CICS applications, you deploy the region startup file, resource definition file, programs (.NET assemblies), BMS maps, and data files to SQL Azure databases or to an Azure drive (as described in the confiuration section).

To deploy batch applications, you deploy the region startup file, programs (.NET assemblies), and data files to the SQL Azure database or to an Azure drive (as described in the configuration section).

Enterprise Server for .NET provides a script that deploys the files required for running the ACCT application under a CICS region. Use this script as an example for how to deploy other applications.

Before deploying the files to the SQL Azure database (or subsequently administer these files using the Enterprise Server for .NET user interface), you must add the same database connection strings that you added to the see.azure.config file to your local machine's machine.config file. See SQL Azure Connection Strings for details.
