To enable the TelAF Managed Storage service, run the following command to compile the
            TelAF simulation image under the TelAF root directory.

    # In Dev PC Host
    make simulac  TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_MNGD_STRG = yCopy to clipboard

    # In Dev Container
    cat >> simulation/.simulation.build << EOF
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_MNGD_STRG = y
    EOF
     
    echo "make simula-c" > simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh
    make simula-xCopy to clipboard

    #Steps to add json file from host to container
      
    #from host copy the configuration ex. configuration1.json file to  simulation_env/telaf/simulation/workstation
     
    # inside container
    mkdir -p /data/ManagedServices/MSS/update/
      
    cp /root/simulation/configuration1.json /data/ManagedServices/MSS/update/ Copy to clipboard

    #To build and install tafPiCfgStor.so plugin for simulation
       
    cd telaf # In Host
       
    source set_af_env.sh simulation

    cd apps/sample/plugin/configStorage
