Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software
Configuring the Execution Environment
• Initializing the Provisioning Object Manager, page 4-41
The configuration data file, or XECfgParm.dat file (located in /opt/CiscoMGC/etc/XECfgParm.dat),
lists all the components in the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software and defines how it operates. You
must edit the execution environment parameters in the XECfgParm.dat file to initialize and configure the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software application. For a complete list of the parameters found in the
XECfgParm.dat file and how they are used by the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, see Appendix A,
“XECfgParm.dat File Parameters.”
For samples of configured XECfgParm.dat files, see the “Sample Configured XECfgParm.dat Files for
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8(1)” section on page D-16.
Caution To ensure that your system works as intended, edit only the XECfgParm.dat file parameters which
are listed below, and remember that all parameters are case-sensitive.
Do not modify the processes.dat file. This XECfgParm.dat file should remain unmodified, as delivered
with the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software. If this file is modified, procM may core dump when you
start the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software.
Changing XECfgParm.dat File Parameters
For a complete list of the parameters found in the XECfgParm.dat file and how they are used by the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, see Appendix A, “XECfgParm.dat File Parameters.”
If you have a fault tolerant system with two Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch hosts, the XECfgParm.dat files
are different for each host. For examples of these XECfgParm.dat files, see the “Sample Configured
XECfgParm.dat Files for Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8(1)” section on page D-16.
To change the XECfgParm.dat file parameters, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log in as root and go to the # prompt.
Step 2 If the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software is running, enter the following command:
# /etc/init.d/CiscoMGC stop
Wait until the system returns the following response:
Signalling procM to shut down
...shutdown complete
Step 3 Change to the /opt/CiscoMGC/etc directory, which contains the XECfgParm.dat file used by your
system.
Step 4 Open the XECfgParm.dat file with any text editor, such as vi.
Step 5 Save your changes and close the editor.
Step 6 Restart the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software by entering the following command:
# /etc/init.d/CiscoMGC start
