Trigger Question

["Jack Derham" <derhamj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To All,

 

A discussion of Triggers the other day got a little heated when one member
of the discussion said that IBM recommends that Trigger programs should not
be designed to SBMJOB jobs but rather should do all of the processing within
the bounds of the trigger program itself. Of coarse, as is almost always the
case in these types of discussions, references were very scares, and the
group of people quickly became polarized into pro and con camps. My search
of the literature did not provide me with any concrete evidence one way or
the other so I am turning to an excellent source of technical information to
get either literature references or personal experience stories to settle
this question in a friendly and logical fashion. The basic question: Should
Trigger programs when necessary be designed to Submit Jobs to complete
required processing.

 

By the way, A very Merry Christmas holiday to all members.
