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

The
IS Gateway immediately downloads the
required driver container image from the repository. A notification is shown on the upper
right corner of the browser page while this is being done.
After the download completes, the new driver container is displayed in the list of
containers on the left, under the selected docker engine.
The possible driver container statuses are:

- The container is started.
