Configure details for specific program trigger points in SYSPRO (see Maintain Trigger).

De-activate an active trigger point in SYSPRO.

Configure details for specific business object trigger points in e.net solutions.

This indicates the trigger point you selected to maintain.

Triggers are program specific. For example the trigger point: After stock code added is fired only when a stock code is created through stock code maintenance (i.e. the program displayed in the Invoked by program field. This event trigger will therefore not be fired when creating an item using the Product Configurator Wizard program for example. You could use the Event Management program to trigger an event for adding a stock code, which will 'fire' whenever a stock code is added irrespective of where the Configurator is run from (i.e. Sales Orders, Quotations, Work in Progress, Bill of Materials maintenance, Estimate maintenance).

This indicates the only SYSPRO program that will activate the trigger.

If you require

This indicates the key that is passed to the trigger program as well as the macro name where the key is defined.

This indicates the unique code assigned to the trigger point. It is used by developers and enables them to write a single program to handle multiple triggers generated by a single SYSPRO program. The unique code generated by each trigger can be passed to the program written by the developer.

For NetExpress programs using SYSPRO's standard linkage (LINK.WRK) the trigger key is in LINK-EXTRA-1 and the trigger code is in LINK-EXTRA-2. For other applications, the trigger code can be passed to the application on the command line using the reserved word %code. For example: A command line entry of USER1.EXE %key %code executes the application USER1.EXE while the contents of the key and the trigger code is passed to the application on the command line.

Indicate the program number slot against which you want to save the trigger type details for this trigger point.

If more than one trigger type is assigned to a trigger point, the system processes the triggers in program number sequence.

Select this to delete the program name associated with the highlighted program number.

Indicate the mechanism that you want to activate when the event is triggered in SYSPRO.

Select this to run a SYSPRO program when this trigger is activated in SYSPRO (see Run a SYSPRO program).

	This function is not available if you are configuring triggers for e.net solutions.

Select this to process a Report Writer report when the trigger is activated. You enter the report code to process in the Report code field (see Run a SYSPRO customized report).

Select this to run a NetExpress program when this trigger is activated in SYSPRO (see Run any NetExpress program).

Select this to run an application when the trigger is activated in SYSPRO (see Run any application).

Select this if operators must receive messages via SYSPRO's Message Inbox, notifying them of tasks that must be actioned when specific triggers are activated in SYSPRO (see Write to message inbox).

For example: After a new customer is added to the system, a message can be sent to the message inbox of the Accounts Controller.

The activation point for this trigger is after a stock code is added using the Browse on Stock Codes or Copy Stock Code programs.

This event trigger will not fire when creating an item using the Product Configurator Wizard program for example. You could use the Event Management program to trigger an event for adding a stock code, which will 'fire' whenever a stock code is added irrespective of where the Configurator is run from (i.e. Sales Orders, Quotations, Work in Progress, Bill of Materials maintenance, Estimate maintenance).

After purchase order line received

Select this to run a SYSPRO program when this trigger is activated in SYSPRO.

Indicate the name of the SYSPRO program you want to run when this trigger is activated.

	Only one SYSPRO program can be assigned to a trigger point and it must be the last program that is run. If you need to run more than one SYSPRO program then you must use the Run any NetExpress program trigger type. Once a trigger has been activated, and it is configured to run a SYSPRO program, the original program will not work properly if it attempts to interact with the Trigger system.

Enter the Report Writer report code to process if you selected the Trigger type: Run a SYSPRO customized report.

The key that is passed by the trigger point to the report depends on the trigger point you are configuring. The keys that are passed are displayed in the field: Key passed to trigger program.

The key that caused the trigger to activate is passed to the report as a run-time parameter so that only the affected item is selected. If a trigger does not pass any keys (e.g. A/R Period End start), then no variables are passed to the report.

For example:

If the trigger: After inventory receipt is defined to Run a SYSPRO customized report, then %StockCode and %Warehouse can be defined as run-time variables. If these variables are used in the Include logic of the report (see Create Report), then when the trigger is invoked, the report is only printed for the key(s) passed by the trigger program.

The run-time variables in the report must be defined using the exact name (including the case) as the keys (i.e. If you want to pass the %Warehouse key to the report as a run-time prompt, then you must define the run-time variable as %Warehouse).

The operator must have access to the Report Writer program and have permissions to run the report (Create Report - Options - Security).

The tickover display is suppressed when the report is activated from a trigger.

Select this to run a NetExpress program when this trigger is activated in SYSPRO.

Indicate the name of the NetExpress program you want to run when this trigger is activated.

In the absence of a full path specification, SYSPRO will attempt to locate the program in the standard program folder. If the NetExpress program you select to run is a standard SYSPRO program that itself has been configured to invoke a trigger, then activating the trigger point causes a message is displayed indicating that the program is already in use. You can ignore this message as the program associated with the trigger point will be activated when you close the message window.

Select this to run an application when the trigger is activated in SYSPRO.

Indicate the executable file name of the application you want to launch.

	Standard SYSPRO parameters/reserved words can be appended to the command line (see Reserved words).

Indicate the full path name to where the executable file resides.

Enter the text that you want to display in the Message column of the designated operator's Message Inbox when the trigger is activated.

Although only 40 characters can be entered at the Subject text field, you can use reserved words to effectively expand the number of characters sent to the Message Inbox.

	The Message Inbox cannot display more than 150 characters and any additional characters are truncated.

Indicate the operator who must receive the message.

Optionally indicate a standard SYSPRO program that can be launched when the operator loads the message.

Select this to write to the operator's Message Inbox regardless of how many times the trigger point is activated on the same day.

Alternatively, leave this option unchecked to post a single message for multiple activations of the trigger point on the same day.

Select this to filter out duplicate messages (i.e. Messages where the subject text and program to run are identical) from appearing in the target operator's Message Inbox.

	The Document Print program is used for printing invoices online and in batch mode.

The following information is returned by this trigger:

This indicates the key passed to the trigger program. The key can comprise more than one item of information (e.g. The trigger After dispatch note line changed passes both the Dispatch note number and the line number to the key. In other cases, only one item of information is passed to the trigger, such as the customer code or stock code).

Details of the information that is passed to the key is indicated at the Key passed to trigger program field when maintaining a trigger.

This indicates the operator who performed the transaction that caused the trigger to be invoked.

This indicates the company id in which the transaction occurred.

This indicates the unique code assigned to the trigger point. It is used by developers and enables them to write a single program to handle multiple triggers generated from a single SYSPRO program.

The unique code generated by each trigger can be passed to the program written by the developer.
