Prerequisites for Building a Docker Image for a My webMethods Server Instance
Before you can create a Dockerfile and build a Docker image for a My webMethods Server instance, you must do the following:
*Install Docker and start the Docker daemon.
*On the same machine, install My webMethods Server and all required layered products, and create a new server instance. Optionally, initialize the instance.
*Install all required product fixes and custom applications.
You can create the server instance using Software AG Installer, or the My webMethods Server command-line utility.
