Docker

You can containerize TIBCO OPE components and run it on hosts that support the Docker environment. The Docker files are delivered as part of the TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management installer. You can build images using those Docker files and then run them as containers.

This feature of TIBCO OPE requires Docker version 1.13 (or later) and Docker-Compose version 1.10 (or later).

You must have an Internet connection to download the base Docker image. In case, the production environment does not have an Internet access, please refer to the given link to build images without an Internet connection. For more information see Building a Docker Image Without an Internet Connection.

Note: The term Docker Context refers to the directory where the Docker file is available. For example, Docker context for OMS is $AF_HOME/docker/fom-oms/4.0.0.

Depending on your system configuration, you might need the following Docker containers:

  • OMS Server Container

  • OPE Container

After installation, all Docker related files are located in the $AF_HOME/docker directory when the user's PWD is $AF_HOME/docker.

Before you start using the Docker feature in TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management, you must be familiar with the following Docker concepts:
  • Docker architecture
  • Using Docker in production
  • Using Docker Volumes
  • Docker commands
  • Docker-Compose
  • Using Docker-Compose in production
