My webMethods Server containers can use a dedicated location /MWS/volumes/configs/assets_cfg on the container file system to which you can mount an external volume and supply xmlImport files that create and modify My webMethods Server assets such as user interface elements, folders, users, and so on.

To use the /MWS/volumes/configs/assets_cfg to deploy xmlImport files, you must mount an external volume to the MWS/volumes/configs directory, and that volume must contain a directory with the name assets_cfg. If you do not mount an external volume, or the volume does not include an assets_cfg directory, the Docker daemon does not create an /MWS/volumes/configs/assets_cfg subdirectory on the container file system.
