Does anyone know if you can add a trigger to a sourced physical file? I was looking for a way to track source file changes because we have someone who bypasses all standards and policies...and who...sadly...also has ALLOBJ authority. And politics prevents us from controlling him..so we need to start by tracking him.
I will give it a try later on today but thought I would ask first.
Shannon:
Yes, you _can_ put triggers on source files, but be sure that you
really _want_ to put up with how they work.
Consider an insert trigger, a 500-line program source and a change
to one line in SEU. When SEU puts the source member back, it writes
the entire member. Your trigger is called 500 times. And if you also
have a delete trigger...?
At least, that's the way it worked when I was trying it a few years ago.
Test it for the various possibilities and code for how it works. All
you really need for testing is a simple CL that does SNDMSG to a
test message queue. Once understood, maybe you can make it useful.
