We have recently upgraded to v10.1 and are reconsidering the use of triggers after encountering significant issues with triggers with v9.4. After successfully testing them in our development environment, we encountered random write failures in production.
Has anyone experience with triggers at both version levels? If so, is the use of triggers on non-SQL files, which is now possible, more robust and more efficient than on SQL files in 9.4? It has been suggested that we use indexes instead of triggers in the following way 1. Create an I-descriptor on a file that calls a subroutine 2. Create the subroutine to always return a null value 3. Index the I -descriptor with the no-null option Any time a write is made to the file from any program including the editor, Universe will attempt to update the Index. However the index will not be updated as the returned value is always null. In the meantime the subroutine called to evaluate the value is free to do what we wanted the trigger to do. This apparently was common before triggers became available. Has anyone had experience with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated Mel Maresh NextiraOne LLC IT Senior Developer 713.307.4256 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
