To use a tracking system, the container image corresponding to the driver of that tracking system must be loaded to a docker engine.

What you should know

When a driver container image is loaded to a docker engine, it becomes a driver container. This process is called adding a driver container.

For video instructions, see Configuring the Inter-System Gateway service.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IS Gateway web portal.
  2. On the home page, click the Container () tab.
  3. Click the button besides the docker engine label, and then click Add driver container.
  4. In the Add driver container window that opens, enter the following information:
