TRIGGER_DEFINE

A TRIGGER_DEFINE program is a program that you create and that Oracle OLAP checks for by name when a DEFINE statement executes. When the program exists in the same analytic workspace in which you are defining a new object, Oracle OLAP executes the program.

Note:

The USETRIGGERS option must be set to its default value of TRUE for a TRIGGER_DEFINE program to execute

See also:

"Trigger Programs".

Syntax

To create a program with the name TRIGGER_DEFINE, follow the guidelines presented in "Trigger Programs".

Examples

Example 26-13 A TRIGGER_DEFINE Program

Assume that you have written a TRIGGER_DEFINE program with the following description in your analytic workspace.

DEFINE TRIGGER_DEFINE PROGRAM
PROGRAM
SHOW JOINCHARS ('calltype = ' CALLTYPE)
SHOW JOINCHARS ('triggering event = ' TRIGGER(EVENT))
SHOW JOINCHARS ('fully-qualified object name ='TRIGGER(NAME))
SHOW JOINCHARS ('type of object = 'OBJ(TYPE TRIGGER(NAME))
DESCRIBE &TRIGGER(NAME)
END

Assume, as shown in the following statements, that you issue a DEFINE VARIABLE statement to define a variable named myvar. As shown by the output following the statement, Oracle OLAP defines the variable and executes the TRIGGER_DEFINE program.

DEFINE myvar VARIABLE TEXT
calltype = TRIGGER
triggering event = DEFINE
fully-qualified object name =MYAW!MYVAR
type of object = VARIABLE
 
DEFINE MYVAR VARIABLE TEXT
