We have a customer that requires that we notify them 24 hours ahead of time regarding any price changes (even reductions). Whenever a price change occurs to one of the items in their authorization list (another story), I use a trigger to (a) log the change for an end-of-day report, (b) suspend the item from the list, and (c) send a break message to the person responsible for the account. As James said, it can be irritating if there are a lot, but in this case it was determined that the reason justified the pain (of course, the person making that judgment was *not* the person who received the break messages).

Yes you can use triggers to notify you on file additions, if you wish.

If you receive a lot of additions to the file, this will probably
overwhelm you.

You will get notified for each and every record added to the log file.

Another method would be to change the EDI programs to notify you as they
are writing to the log files.

If several records are written to the log files at once, you probably
could group them and send them as a single notification instead of
several.

Thanks.

subject: Trigger question

HI I am new to Triggers. I have some programs that maintain very

sensitive EDI data. I have on these programs log files that record
what
was done ( we don't do Journaling here). I am interested to receive a

notification, whenever these logfiles have new records addede.







Is this something that Triggers do?







Thanks,



Adam
