Creating the Image for and Running the CICS Container Demonstration

bld.bat IacceptEULA { {dn|x64|x86} [debug]  |
          package               |
          rmi }

bld.bat IacceptEULA [hotfix hotfix.exe] [verbose] [usemcr]
        [dotnetver a.b.c] [java^|openjdk] [javaversion nn]
        [showverinfo] [memlimit nnG] [nomemlimit] [installloc]

The parameters to use with bld.bat and bld.sh are:

installloc

If not specified, the default path is used.

debug

Indicates that you want to debug the CICS application rather than simply execute it. Specifying debug causes Dockerfile.debug to be run rather than Dockerfile.

dn

Indicates that you want to run the CICS application in a .NET environment.

package

Indicates that you want to rebuild the COBOL application. Specifying package runs a series of MSBuild commands and Powershell scripts to recreate the CICS application.

x64

Indicates that the resulting created image is a 64-bit one.

x86

Indicates that the resulting created image is a 32-bit one.

rmi

Indicates that you want to remove any previously-created CICS container demonstration images. Specifying rmi results in the execution of a number of docker rmi --force commands to remove any CICS container demonstration images.

IacceptEULA

Indicates that you accept the Micro Focus End User License Agreement (EULA). If you do not specify IacceptEULA, no image is created.

dryrun

Indicates that you do not want bld.sh to run any Docker commands. Use dryrun with the verbose parameter to display the Docker commands without running them.

esadminuser=admin-id

Specifies the ID to be used for the Enterprise Server admin user.

esadmgid=admin-gid

Specifies the group ID to use for the Enterprise Server admin user.

esadmuid=admin-uid

Specifies the user ID to use for the Enterprise Server admin user.

hotfix=tar-file-name

This option is only for installing a Patch Update version. Specify the name of the installable executable .tar file as mentioned above, without the extension. For example: hotfix=setup_visualcobol_devhub_for_docker_8.0_patchupdate03_312109_ platform_x64.

java

Indicates that you want the image to include Java support provided by Adoptium's OpenJDK. Use the javaversion parameter to specify the version of Java that you want support for.

javaversion=java-version

When specified in conjunction with the oraclejava parameter, java-version specifies the Java version you want support for, which can be 8 or 9; otherwise, when specified in conjunction with the java parameter, java-version can be 8, 10-18.

login

Indicates that you want to create a login image. Using this option results in image that you can use to log in to (using any details specified by the logingid, loginid, logingname and loginname parameters). Once logged in to this image you can execute shell or Enterprise Server commands.

This option is useful if you are not adding any application files to a base image but want to be able to use Enterprise Server commands from it.

When you specify login the tag of the image created is suffixed with "_login".

logingid=login-gid

Specifies the group ID to use for the user specified by the loginid parameter.

loginid=login-id

Specifies the user ID to use for the login image.

logingname=login-gname

Specifies the group name to use for the user specified by the loginid parameter.

loginname=login-name

Specifies the user name to use for the user specified by the loginid parameter.

nojava

Indicates that you do not want Java to be installed in the base image. You might want to use this parameter if your system already includes a number of different versions of Java and you don't want to introduce another version unnecessarily.

nologin

Indicates that you do not want to create a login image. You would typically want to use this option when creating an image that contains an application rather than just a base image for Enterprise Server. This is the default.

notools

Indicates that you do not want the image to contain the IP tools (such as ping and netcat) that are included in the image by default. Use this option if you do not need the tools and want to minimize the size of the image.

odbc|odbc-dev

Specifies that the odbc run-time library or the odbc developer tools library is installed. (UNIX/Linux platforms only.)

oraclejava

Indicates that you want the image to include Java support provided by the Oracle JDK. Use the javaversion parameter to specify the version of Java that you want support for.

package

Indicates that you want to rebuild the COBOL application in this image.

settings

Causes the settings that will be used for various properties of the image to be displayed on-screen. Properties that are displayed include the names of the installable file and the license file for Enterprise Server, the details to be used for the Enterprise Server admin user, and the details to be used for the login image. Specifying settings does not cause an image to be created.

verbose

Causes Docker commands to be displayed on-screen as they are executed.

docker run -p 16002:10086 -p 9040-9060:9040-9060 -p 9000-9010:9000-9010 -ti --network="nat" --rm microfocus/edbuildtools-acctdemo:win_8.0_x86

docker run -p 16002:10086 -p 9040-9060:9040-9060 -p 9000-9010:9000-9010 -ti --network="nat" --rm microfocus/edbuildtools-acctdemo:win_8.0_x64
