Re: Triggers - enabling and disabling

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would it work to have the CL encode the buffer into a keyed data queue.  
Have data queue engines, one for each company that read the data queue 
and process.  That way to drop one company, simply stop the correct data 
queue engine.  Now the trigger does not need to do much more work than 
it does today and the control is in a different place.
