Connecting an on-prem fault tolerant agent to an HCL Workload Automation Server container

To establish a communication between an on-prem fault tolerant agent and an HCL Workload Automation server container, configure the server docker-compose.yml file as follows:

1. Open all external ports as shown in the example below:

   ports (port mapping "external:internal"):  
             - 31116:31116 #HTTPS server port
             - 31111:31111 #HTTP netman port
             - 33113:33113 #HTTPS netman ssl port
             - 31131:31131 #HTTP EIF port
             - 35131:35131 #HTTPS EIF ssl port

2. Add the extra_hosts parameter under hostname, and insert all remote machine hostnames that docker must contact (including the one of the on-prem FTA).

   hostname: wa-server
            extra_hosts:
            - hostname1:IP_Address
            - hostname2:IP_Address
            - hostname3:IP_Address           
            ...

Furthermore, in the /etc/hosts file on the remote machine where the on-prem FTA is running, add the hostname of the HCL Workload Automation server container.
