Creating a Dockerfile for a My webMethods Server Installation
The mws-docker.sh script provides additional command-line tooling for generating a Dockerfile for a single-instance installation of My webMethods Server.
*To generate a Dockerfile for My webMethods Server
1. Go to the Software AG_directory /MWS/tools/docker/bin directory of your My webMethods Server installation.
2. Run mws-docker.sh createDockerfile, and customize the generated Dockerfile by specifying one or more of the following parameters:
