Re: Commitment control and triggers

Hi,
A trigger is nothing else than a program that is called by the database manager, whenever the event (insert, update, delete) specified in the trigger definition occurs. This program is implemented in the call stack and can be considered as any other program called from the caller program.
If you started commitment control with commitment scope *JOB there is no problem to rollback. If you didn't change the default value for commitment scope from *ACTGRP to *JOB, a rollback will only performed for the current active activation group. If you let SQL start the commitment control it is started with commitment scope *ACTGRP. As long as you do not have a real ILE-environment, you'll get problems if the caller and the trigger program run in different activation groups. 

Mit freunlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Subject: Commitment control and triggers



I am adding commitment control to a program that updates a file. There is
a trigger on the file to write tracking records to a different file
whenever a change is made. Is there a way to get the trigger to rollback
it's changes when I use the ROLBCK opcode in my program?
