Whipping Up an RPGLE
After Image Trigger Program

(free (and without obligation) for a very limited time!)

(includes link to how-to video,
presentation download
and shell program download)

the Essence

This technical article features a video showing how to create a trigger program that captures the after images of records in a Db2 for i database file, at the moment the DB change occurs.  The trigger program captures changes made via any program, raw data file editor utility (such as DFU), or SQL process happening on the local IBM i or any remote machine.   

This video and presentation and code download is available for free for a limited time, once you have a verified non-consumer level Web User ID.


Why are we here?

  • To tune in to the soft-coded trigger program concept using RPG ILE Free as the high-level language on IBM i

  • We want to learn this method for quickly enabling and implementing a master file auditing log software function, and do it without affecting the current programs and processes that manipulate the master file

  • We were unable to catch this presentation at COMMON's Navigate 2021 technical conference

  • We need to be able to look back many months to see the User ID and/or User Profile who last changed a column value in a master file record, and to do it without loading and/or searching through a hundred journal log files

A Little More Background

Here are the prerequisites:

  • a Db2 for i database file
  • an RPGLE compiler and a CLP compiler on IBM i 6.1 OS or greater
