Preparing Docker Volumes

A docker volume (commonly referred as data volume) is a specially-designated directory within one or more containers that bypasses the Union File System. Docker volumes provide several useful features for persistent and shared data. Docker volumes can be shared and reused among containers.

Refer to the TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management Administration Guide for the overall information on preparing Docker volumes.
The OPE containers require:
  • The model loading directories. These are the directories setup to load the product, planfragment, action, price and discount models. These models are loaded by the OMS server and no other container needs this volume mapping other than the OMS server container.
  • A logs directory that you must create.
Note: OPE container refers to the database for access to any property files. These property files are pushed to the database using fom-configurator.

Procedure

  • Create a logs directory where logs from all the containers will be available on your host machine. For example, $AF_HOME/logs.
    Note: Since the Docker container will read and write in the three directories mentioned, it is mandatory to give read and write privilege to others on the host machine on the directories where you are creating volumes. Since Docker is writing to the existing files in the volume, each file in the volume must have read and write privileges. For example: 
     $] chmod o+rw -R
$AF_HOME/roles/configurator/standalone/config
