Run docker container

Run a docker container with a Genero Business Development Language (BDL) installation and check the license status.

About this task: Genero licensing can not be implemented directly in a docker container. This procedure shows the status before licensing has been assigned.

Before you begin:
  1. At the command line, type the command to create and run the fglgws-base docker container.
    docker run --rm -it -t --name fglgws fglgws-base

    The container's name or tag is fglgws (as defined by the --name option). It can be listed by the docker command docker ps run on the host:

  2. At the command prompt of the docker container, try to get Genero BDL license information.
    Type the license controller command:
    fglWrt -a info
    genero@775edcg689ce:$ fg1Wrt -a info license 
    SYS ERROR (-6054,2) : No such file or directory 
    
    Cannot read a license file 
    Check installation path and your environment.
    There is no license available. License installation is not allowed in a docker container.
What to do next:

You assign the Genero BDL license on the host where the docker container is running to the instance in the container. See Assign host license to docker container.
