Atalla Boxcar Reference Guide—526564-005

Modifying the Obey File

Edit the obey file to match your host system (for example, primary and backup CPUs,

device IP address, and number of sockets). Create a separate obey file for each NSP;

one Boxcar process for each NSP, see Boxcar Parameter Definitions. Table 2 shows

an example of an obey file.

Note. To prevent application time-outs the priority of the Boxcar process should be set slightly

below the priority of the TCP/IP process that controls the NSP. For example if the TCP/IP

process is set to 190, the Boxcar process priority should be set to 189.

If the Boxcar process is not started in the same system as the NSP, the Boxcar process name

must be limited to six characters, including the $. If the Boxcar process name is six characters

including the $, the statement used to start the Boxcar process must contain an in, out, and

term parameters.
