Is there a way to install SPSS in a docker Image? Can we run .str file in side a docker container? If yes, Can you guide me the relevant links, how we can do it. If yes, can you give me, how can i pass parameters to the str file running inside the docker container? As per the design, the input to the .str file will be an output stream from apache flink which is running inside another docker image. Please let me know asap.

Dear Srinivas,
I'm sorry there was a outage of DWanswers the last days where our answer has been lost beginning 1th of April. Concerning your question: the docker virtualization is not officially supported by SPSS Modeler. We only support currently Microsoft Hyper-V Server, VMWare Fusion, VMWare vSphere Support Compatitiblity Matrix: http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct The apache link should have the IP address or hostname of the Docker machine where the data is stored. When the docker images can connect to each other, technically I would say then this is possible with Modeler, but was never tested by QualityAssurance and therefore not supported as mentioned.
I hope that this information helps anyway.
