+
+* Run the following cmd from the root of the repo: 
+  <code>$WORKSPACE/docker/build_standalone-tcks.sh jpa</code>
+
+* If all goes well, this should generate a zip file called persistence-tck-3.1.0_\<date>.zip inside the <code>$WORKSPACE/release/jpa_build/build_\<date>/bundle/persistence-tck</code> folder. This can then be used to build and run the hibernate jakarta-tck-runner image.
