Creating triggers

You can define inbound and outbound triggers that can be used in all flowcharts in a partition.

You must have permissions to create triggers.

When editing a flowchart, open the Options icon

and select Stored Triggers.

The Stored Trigger Definitions window opens.

Click New Item.

The data fields for the new trigger appear on the right of the window.

Optionally, select a folder to save the trigger to in the Save Under list.

The folder location governs which users can access the trigger, based on the folder's security policy.

Enter a name for the trigger in the Name field.

You cannot use spaces in the string, but you can use underscores (_).

This name must be unique within the folder where you save it.

If you are creating a trigger in the top-level folder, select a security policy, or keep the default.

Optionally, enter a description of the trigger in the Note field.

You can provide a free-form text description of the trigger for documentation purposes. You also may want to keep a modification history of who modified the trigger, when, and what changes were made.

In the Command field, enter the path relative to the current partition root and file-name of the executable file on the IBM® Campaign server. You can click Browse to select an executable file from within the current partition.

If you are creating an outbound trigger, to make it synchronous, terminate the command with a question mark (?).

To make the trigger asynchronous, do not terminate the command with a special character, or use an ampersand (&).
