Binding BusinessWorks Application to Open Tracing on Docker

We can enable Open Tracing for TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition application on docker using the environment variable BW_JAVA_OPTS, JAEGER_AGENT_HOST, JAEGER_AGENT_PORT, and JAEGER_SAMPLER_MANAGER_HOST_PORT.

Before you begin

Ensure the correct JAEGER agent is running.

Procedure

Create a Dockerfile to deploy TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application on docker. For more information about creating Dockerfile, see Application Development for Docker in the Application Development guide.
```
FROM tibco/bwce:latest
MAINTAINER Tibco
ADD <application name>.ear/
EXPOSE 8080
```
Run the Docker terminal and navigate to the directory where the EAR and Docker file are stored.
Run the following command to build the application image:
```
docker build -t <application name> . 
```
In docker run command, set the environment variables BW_JAVA_OPTS, JAEGER_AGENT_HOST, JAEGER_AGENT_PORT, and JAEGER_SAMPLER_MANAGER_HOST_PORT to enable open tracing.

Run the command in the docker terminal using docker machine IP or using link.

docker run -d -p 18050:8080
-e BW_JAVA_OPTS="-Dbw.engine.opentracing.enable=true"
-e JAEGER_AGENT_HOST: 18.207.139.80
