Re: JBA ML - Application manager question

This will work an any physical file you want to track changes.
We have done this on a few files that we have an interest in knowing what and
when changes were made and who made them.

Create a physical file to hold the data you want to capture, ie task
information, user, date and time.

Write a program to write to the file data that a database trigger will pass to
the program.

Create database triggers (after insert, after update and after delete) that will
call the program and pass the before and after record data from the physical
file  (APG35PHY).
The program will be called when a record in the physical file (APG35PHY) is
inserted, updated or deleted by any method, ie, JBA application program, DBU or
SQL.
Place the program and the hold file in library QGPL.

For complete information on how to write trigger programs and create triggers,
see the IBM publication "DB2 UDB for AS/400 Database Programming."
