RE: Triggers & AGs

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What john is saying is that the trigger can be fired from a number of   
places.  And if the first program is running in the default activation   
group, the trigger will be called in the default activation group.  If   
the same job runs a program in a different ag (lets say AGOE) that fires   
the trigger, the trigger will be fired in the same ag (AGOE) as that   
program, therefore having more than one instance of the program in   
memory.

Of course in the second case it wouldn't be called by an OPM.

Jon,

I am starting to get confused.  How does the system determine the   
activation
group for programs and service programs that specify *CALLER?  The   
trigger is
called by an OPM program.  Why doesn't it run in the default activation   
group
when
*CALLER is specified?  Are system state programs ignored?  If they are   
why
does QCMD
not behave this way?  What about QCMDEXC?  It is supposed to be ignored   
in
the stack.
I haven't noticed any exceptions listed in any manual.  If these are
exceptions where are
they documented?

Thanks,

David Morris

You are correct - you should also be aware that by using *CALLER you have
opened up the possibility that the trigger program can have multiple
invocations active at any one time (i.e. one in each AG - including the
default
 - that it gets called in).  This may not be what you want.
