Trigger Management

The Trigger Management form generates INSERT and UPDATE triggers for tables in the specified range in the current application database.

Use this form if you have added custom columns to a standard table in your application or if you have added a custom table. The form generates or regenerates triggers with standard functionality from metadata supplied with the framework.

By default, only tables with schema changes and metadata changes are regenerated. To manually specify a table range, select the Regenerate Specific Triggers form.

INSERT and UPDATE triggers on the tables are generated by the Trigger Management form. However, not all triggers on all tables are generated by this form. For example, if Iup and Del triggers are required for a table, they are loaded when the application is installed.

Note: To prevent blocking, generation of triggers should be done only when no other users are logged on the application database.

You can regenerate triggers multiple times, as the result is identical for identical schemas and metadata.

For additional information, see the document Insert and Update Trigger Generation.

Viewing the Trigger Management log

During uplift and trigger generation operations, it is possible that some triggger regenerations might fail. When this happens, the uplift operation does not fail, but trigger generation failures are logged. To view the Trigger Management log, click View Log.
