Configure Fan Out Action (datrg1120m000)

Use this session to configure the fan out action for a trigger. To do so, you must enter the (subsequent) triggers that must be executed by the main trigger.

A fan out action is useful if a trigger must perform multiple actions in parallel, or if a trigger must use multiple conditions. In such situations, you must define a trigger that invokes multiple other triggers, which in turn implement the parallel conditions / actions.

Because triggers are executed synchronously, the triggers are in practice not running in parallel, but sequentially.

Example

if a new business partner is created, perform action X.
if an existing business partner is made 'inactive', perform action Y.

In this example the 'business partner' trigger invokes two other triggers which implement the conditions and actions mentioned.

Note: This session is a modal dialog. When you leave this session and return to the session, the trigger program is regenerated automatically, if the action settings were changed.

Field Information

Trigger: The trigger for which the fan out action is defined.
Subsequent Trigger: Enter one or more existing triggers that must be invoked by the main trigger. You must enter at least one existing trigger. The subsequent trigger cannot be equal to the main trigger. Additionally, a subsequent trigger cannot be a 'fan out' trigger.
