Loading BRM Component Images

Images shipped with the BRM cloud native deployment package are in the form of TAR files. After downloading the TAR files, load them as images into the Docker system.

For example, to load the Oracle Communications Cloud Native Connection Manager image into the Docker system, you would do this:

Download the oc-cn-brm-cm-12.0.0.x.0.tar file to the system where Docker is installed.
Load the Connection Manager image into Docker using the following command:
```
docker load --input oc-cn-brm-cm-12.0.0.x.0.tar
```
Verify that the image is loaded correctly using the following command:
```
docker images cm:12.0.0.x.0
```
The image details should be listed in one row.

If you use an internal registry to access images from different Kubernetes nodes, push the images from the local system to the registry server. For example, if the registry is identified by RepoHost:RepoPort, you'd push the CM image to the registry like this:

Tag the image with the registry server using the following command:
```
docker tag cm:12.0.0.x.0 RepoHost:RepoPort/cm:12.0.0.x.0
```
Push the image to the registry server using the following command:
```
docker push RepoHost:RepoPort/cm:12.0.0.x.0
```

Loading the Oracle WebLogic Image

If you are using Billing Care, Billing Care REST API, or Business Operations Center, load the WebLogic image.

To load the Oracle WebLogic image into your private repository:

Pull the WebLogic image into your local system using the following command:
```
docker pull container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/fmw-infrastructure_cpu:12.2.1.4-jdk8-ol8
```
Tag the image with the registry server using the following command, where RepoHost and RepoPort are the host and port of your repository:
```
docker tag container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/fmw-infrastructure_cpu:12.2.1.4-jdk8-ol8 RepoHost:RepoPort/middleware/fmw-infrastructure_cpu:12.2.1.x-jdk8-ol8
```
Push the image to the registry server using the following command, where RepoHost and RepoPort are the host and port of your repository:
```
docker push RepoHost:RepoPort/middleware/fmw-infrastructure_cpu:12.2.1.4-jdk8-ol8
```
