TWS Docker Container Agent support with Datastage Container

Customer : MetLife
Description: The TWS agent installed as a container pod is not able to execute the Datastage job running in a separate container pod in the same OCP cluster.
The current Datastage plugin does not have a support to execute the remote DS job (dsjob) in the container.

The solution is to update the Agent to connect through oc exec or kubectl remote CLI to run the dsjob.
The ticket was already raised as per below link.
