Re: Updating PO Item and Release files

3)  Triggers?

Ok, I know what triggers are... We just haven't needed or used them so
far to date.

Group....

I know all the advantages of triggers - they have been explained to me
over and over.  But I keep being burned on them with things like Eric
mentioned, and others (difficulty in adding or maintaining them in a
24/7 environment).  Am I being too conservative in my outlook in that I
make every effort to avoid using them, and instead run periodic jobs
(nightly seems to be adequate usually) to examine all the files and take
any necessary actions?

I'd appreciate a brief set of responses as to how many of us are using
triggers, just a personal survey, if I may.

1)  Can't live without triggers - they put sliced bread with butter to
shame!
2)  Use them, they are OK, the pain is pretty well worth it
3)  Triggers?   What are they?

So I don't bury the thread on this, please reply to my direct address.
This is totally unofficial, I'm just scratching a curiosity bone....

   Besides having to gain full access to the file, you may want to add
the
   trigger using the MAPICS CAS option.  Even though ITEMBL does not
have any
   current triggers on it in XA R6 (PCM 7412), if they add one and you
have
   yours outside of XA, whenever MAPICS runs the command to remove the
   triggers, yours will be removed, too.

   Then when MAPICS runs the command to add back the triggers, yours
will not
   be added back since it will not be contained in the TRGMST file.  I
ran
   into this problem at one client and it took a while to figure out how
it
   was getting removed.
