As far as a batch job making hundreds of requests within a few
microseconds...

You need to realize that when your code executes a WRITE and/or UPDATE,
control gets passed to the DB code, then to your trigger. It returns from
the trigger to the DB and then back to your code. So the next op-code in
your RPG code won't be executed until the trigger has completed.

Thus the reason for the best practice that a trigger do as little as
possible. Having a long running task in a trigger is not a good idea.

Now, in the OP's case, besides the wait required for the CLRPFM to complete
making it a bad idea in the first place. You have to worry about
concurrency in a trigger. Since any job could cause the trigger to fire at
any time, it's likely that it will. Your tigger program needs to follow
best practices for concurrent resource use. As you may guess, having
multiple jobs randomly doing a CLRPFM on the same table is not a good idea
with respect to concurrency.

Good question. I haven't used trigger programs much, so I can't say what
happens if the file is updated again while the first invocation of the
trigger program is still running. However, it does seem like a
bottleneck waiting to happen. What happens if you have, say, a batch job
that makes hundreds of updates to the file within a few microseconds?

Subject: Re: Trigger issue with authority

just on the point about the collision. Once i fix the authority issue.

If one user enters a change to the Physical file, lets call it PF1, and
the
trigger gets kicked off. The CL takes about 20 seconds to run. recall
the
CL, clears the PF used to hold latest data then re-populates via RPG
prgram.

After 5 seconds another user makes a change to PF1. the trigger kicks
off
again, and it wants to clear the file. Which is still going to run 15
more
seconds. Does the second trigger wait, those 15 seconds and then kicks
off?

is there going to be any problem with this?

I much prefer the message queue idea but if the current way will work,
they
seem to be ok with the current way.

I had a case happen that the trigger would not run.

the trigger is on a physical file which has 2 logicals to it. I
have a
PF
that will be updated when one field in the PF changes.

When change made and trigger is invoked i run a CL program
which clears my work file and then rebuilds it via RPGLE program.

that is all the CL does, CLear and run the RPG.

But got an error CPF3137 NO Authority to clear, initialize etc.

Do I need now to change the authority on that Temp file I created?
the
current is

*PUBLIC * CHANGE

There is another way to 'clear' the table; use SQL. DELETE FROM
TABLE.
