Setting up or maintaining event triggers

Use these instructions to modify or delete an event trigger. These instructions do not include the steps to remove the trigger from the system code.

Note:  When you delete a trigger, active events that are associated with that trigger no longer work.
  1. Select System Administrator > Entry > Event Mgr > Setup Triggers.
  2. Search for the trigger, and then select it in the grid.
  3. To modify the trigger, click Edit.
  4. To delete the trigger, click Delete and then click OK to confirm.
Note:  Event triggers are defined by Infor. We do not recommend that you create your own triggers. To create a custom trigger, contact Infor’s Consulting Services group.

Use these instructions to set up event triggers. These instructions only cover the steps to set up the trigger in the system. They do not cover the procedure necessary to add the trigger logic to the system code.

  1. Select System Administrator > Entry > Event Manager > Setup Trigger.
  2. Click New.
  3. Specify the trigger name you want to create.
  4. Specify a short description of the trigger. We recommend that you use the function acronym where this trigger will be located to define the trigger.
  5. Specify the two-character acronym of the module this trigger will be placed in. For example,specify ar for the Customers module.
  6. Specify the database tables affected by the trigger. For example, to create a trigger for notification of General Ledger postings, specify glet and glsa to specify that these functions are available for this trigger.
  7. Specify the trigger locations. These vales are used for identification and informational purposes only. The trigger location specifies the piece of code the trigger is located in. When this code is processed in the system, the trigger is launched.
  8. Specify the long description of the trigger, such as where it is located and what it affects. For example, indicate that the trigger is located in all of the GL transaction posting routines in the system.
  9. Click Save.
