Configuration - Triggers

NOTE: This section applies only to OS/400 versions prior to V5R1. In V5R1 and above, the operating system allows for multiple triggers per event and so separate trigger maintenance is not required.

Trigger Maintenance is a trigger management function. Using this option will allow multiple programs to be called when a file addition, update and/or delete is recorded. Since Database Monitor uses *AFTER Triggers only, Database Monitor manages the calls to these additional programs for *AFTER times only. *BEFORE times need to be handled through the existing AS/400 functions.

NOTE: The triggers defined in Trigger Maintenance will not be called if journals are used instead of triggers for the event.
