TRIGGERMAXDEPTH

The TRIGGERMAXDEPTH option determines the maximum number of $NATRIGGER property expressions that Oracle OLAP can execute simultaneously.

Data type

INTEGER

Syntax

TRIGGERMAXDEPTH = n

Arguments

n

An INTEGER expression that specifies the maximum number of $NATRIGGER property expressions that can execute simultaneously. The default value is 50.

Notes

About the $NATRIGGER Property

The TRIGGERMAXDEPTH option works in conjunction with the $NATRIGGER property of a variable.

Recursive Triggers

While an $NATRIGGER expression is executing, it cannot be invoked again by a formula, program, or other $NATRIGGER expression that it invokes unless the RECURSIVE option is set to YES. The TRIGGERMAXDEPTH option governs the depth of recursion of $NATRIGGER expressions and prevents infinite recursions or excessively deep recursions, which can cause Oracle OLAP to malfunction.

Examples

Example 26-15 Setting the Maximum Trigger Depth

This example sets the maximum trigger depth, exceeds it, then sets the depth to a higher value. Usually the TRIGGERMAXDEPTH value would be much higher than 2, which is used in this example. The default value is 50.

DEFINE d1 INTEGER DIMENSION
MAINTAIN d1 ADD 2
DEFINE v1 DECIMAL <d1>
PROPERTY '$NATRIGGER' 'v2 + 1'
DEFINE v2 DECIMAL <d1>
PROPERTY '$NATRIGGER' 'v3 + 1'
DEFINE v3 DECIMAL <d1>
PROPERTY '$NATRIGGER' 'v4 + 1'
DEFINE v4 DECIMAL <d1>
v4(d1 1) = 333.3
RECURSIVE = YES
TRIGGERMAXDEPTH = 2
SHOW v1
 

The preceding statements produce the following output.

ERROR: Depth of NA trigger calls exceeds allowable (maximum depth 2)

The following statements set the maximum trigger depth to a higher value and show the value of the variable.

TRIGGERMAXDEPTH = 3
SHOW v1

The preceding statements produce the following output.
