Task flow for working with remote Docker hosts

You can find information about the tasks that you must perform when you work with setting up remote Docker hosts and using the remote Docker as the location for test runs. Also, you can find information about the other tasks that you can perform on the remote Docker hosts.

Task flow for using remote Dockers to run tests

You must follow the tasks in this task flow if you want to use remote Docker hosts to run tests that are in your Rational® Test Automation Server project.

4	Configure a run for your test that you want to run on the remote Docker host by performing the following actions: Go to Test run configurations. Check for the prerequisite tasks that you must perform before you configure a test run for the test. Select the task for the test that you want to configure for a run, and then follow the steps to run the test.	Test run configurations Prerequisites to running tests Test run configurations

Tasks for working with remote Docker hosts

You can find information about the tasks that you can perform when you use remote Docker hosts that are set up and registered with Rational® Test Automation Server.

When you configure a test run and in the step in which you select the remote Docker, if you encounter any of the following conditions because these were changed on the remote Docker host:
- The host name or port of the remote Docker is not displayed correctly.
- You want to change the mode of authentication with the remote Docker host.
See Editing configurations of a remote Docker host.
When you want to delete a remote Docker host from your Rational® Test Automation Server project, see Deleting a remote Docker host from a project.
When you want to remove or unregister a remote Docker host from Rational® Test Automation Server, see Unregistering a remote Docker host from IBM Rational Test Automation Server.
