2.67 OBEY

Use OBEY to process a file that contains a list of Oracle GoldenGate commands. OBEY is useful for executing commands that are frequently used in sequence.

You can call one OBEY file from another one. This is called a nested OBEY file. You can nest up to 16 OBEY files. To use nested OBEY files, you must enable the functionality by first issuing the ALLOWNESTED command, see ALLOWNESTED.
