Re: Making Triggers Resilient


Just to clarify setting the library list, the thoughts were to save the library list before running the trigger then put it back at end of trigger. We did have doubts over this technique, i.e. performance, but it would have been transparent to the user. 

Regarding performance:

Make sure you use a named activation group for your trigger program, and end the program with *INLR = *OFF. Code your file opens in an *INZSR, and keep them open until the activation group is reclaimed.

You definitely don't need to open & close the files on every call to your trigger! That would be painful!

It also makes it possible to read a configuation file and force the files to the given library/libraries only once, then keep using them for subsequent calls.

That'll improve the trigger performance dramatically.
