App Connect - zCX - ability to copy in file when starting container

This link in App Connect V12 Knowledge Center describes how to use supplied JCL to create and run ACE Docker images in zCX on zOS:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=software-app-connect-enterprise-zos-container-extensions-zcx

Our requirement is to enhance this so that when using the BIPXIS JCL to start a container, there is no capability to copy in any custom file that may be needed for the flow in ACE in the Docker container.

In our case, our flow is using MQ client to connect a MQ QMGR on z/OS. We can use BIPXBLD to build a Docker image that has ACE, MQ Client, BAR file ( one only ) and server.conf.yaml. But if we then try to run that image, the flow gets 2058 because the ccdt is not in the container. There is no way to supply the ccdt when starting the container. You can do a multi step process to get this to work, but that approach is impractical, the case (TS008338732) has more details on that.

The BIPXIS JCL should be enhanced so that a ccdt can be made available to the container when it is started, so that the flow works when started.

This would then allow us to use this same Docker image in multiple logical environments such as dev/test/prod.
