   From: IdM Suite Software folder\Provisioning\Resource\Triggers\DB2UDB
   To:        A folder on the DB2 database server (e.g., C:\DB2Trigger)
   
   
7. Unzip the trigger file to the trigger installation folder. These files and folders are created:
   
   • C:\DB2Trigger\trigger.properties (the trigger configuration file)
   • \db2triggercallback.jar (the jar file containing all trigger Java classes)
   • \data\ (the folder used to store trigger request data)
   • \log\ (the folder used to store log files)
     
     

8. Modify the properties file according to the Provisioning Server settings such as 
   TriggerWebServiceHost and TriggerWebServicePort.
   
   Note: Modify LogFilePath and DataFilePath to an existing folder, for example,
   LogFilePath=C:\DB2Trigger\log\Trigger.log
   DataFilePath=C:\DB2Trigger\data\Trigger.dat)
   
   

9. Connect to the DB2 database using the CLP (Command Line Processor) command: 
   connect to <database> user <user> using <password>

   
   

10. Register the jar file using the DB2 CLP (Command Line Processor) command:
    db2 => call sqlj.install_jar('file:///C:/DB2Trigger/db2triggercallback.jar','db2trigger');
    
    
11. Copy the DB2 license files (e.g., jar) from your DB2 Server to the Provisioning installation directory and the appropriate Web server directory. For example:
    • <DATAFORUM_HOME>\..\jars (e.g., C:\Fischer\Provisioning\jars)
    • <DATAFORUM_HOME>\..\wars\dataforum\WEB_INF\lib (e.g., C:\Fischer\Provisioning\wars\dataforum\WEB-INF\lib)
      
      Where <DATAFORUM_HOME> is the environment variable value referencing the base folder of the Provisioning installation (e.g., C:\Fischer\Provisioning\dataforum).
12. (Optional) If you decide to use HTTPS for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) communication, configure TriggerWebServicePort, EnableSSL, TruststorePath, SSLProvider, HttpsHandler, and TruststorePassword in the properties file. For example:
    TriggerWebServicePort=8443 [Provisioning SSL port]
    EnableSSL=True
    SSLProvider=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider
    HttpsHandler=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol
    TruststorePath=C:\DB2Trigger\cacerts\cacerts
    TruststorePassword=changeit
    
    Note: After modifying the trigger.properties file, restart the DB2 database.
    
    
    • <DATAFORUM_HOME>\..\jars (e.g., C:\Fischer\Provisioning\jars)
    • <DATAFORUM_HOME>\..\wars\dataforum\WEB_INF\lib (e.g., C:\Fischer\Provisioning\wars\dataforum\WEB-INF\lib)

    Where <DATAFORUM_HOME> is the environment variable value referencing the base folder of the Provisioning installation (e.g., C:\Fischer\Provisioning\dataforum).

    Redeploying the War Files

    Notes:

    • If multiple connectors are being configured, these steps only need to be run once after all jar files have been copied for all jar files have been copied for all connectors.
    • If the connector is being run remotely on a Global Identity Gateway (GIG) platform, the steps will vary slightly as noted below.
      
      

13. Run war.bat from <IDENTITY_HOME>\..\wars to create a new identity.war file.

    
    

14. Run war.bat from <DATAFORUM_HOME>\..\wars to create a new dataforum.war file.
    

    Note: If the connector is being run remotely on a GIG, run idmgig.bat and provgig.bat from <GIG_HOME>\wars to create new idmgig.war and provgig.war files.

15. Complete the steps required to install the war files on the application server so they can be deployed. For example, for Apache Tomcat, delete the dataforum and identity folders and the war and identity.war files if they exist. Copy the new identity.war and dataforum.war files to the apache-tomcat webapps subdirectory.
    
    Note: If the connector is being run remotely on a GIG, delete the idmgig and provgig folders and the idmgig.war and provgig.war files. Copy the new idmgig.war and provgig.war files to the apache-tomcat webapps subdirectory.

16. Restart the application server.
    
     Configuring a Trigger Link

17.  Double-click the link between the Start object and the Trigger system object. The Configure Link window displays.

    Note: To modify an existing trigger, on the menu bar click View ►Triggers, and then select one of the IBM DB2 triggers listed under the projects folder.

    

    Schemas Sets the schema table where the trigger watches for selected database operations to occur.

    Operations Select which database operations cause the trigger to execute: Insert - Insertions of new records into the selected schema table. Update - Changes to existing records in the selected schema table. ·Delete - Deletions of existing records in the selected schema table.

    Tables Lists the schema tables available for trigger support.

    Fields Lists the fields available for trigger support.

    Unique Key Displays the attribute(s) that make the entry in the selected schema table unique.

    Get Key Retrieves a unique key from the selected schema table.

    Set Key  Sets which attribute from the Selected Fields will make the entry unique.

    Clear Key Removes the current unique key attribute selection. No unique key attribute is defined after selecting this option.

    Selected Fields Lists the selected schema table fields for trigger support. The Format button specifies a desired date/time format to be applied to a selected date type field. Only selected date fields will be able to apply a date/time format to their value. Check Mandatory Attributes - Check boxes in this field set mandatory attributes. These checked attributes will always be exported whether they were changed or not.

    Advanced Settings Displays the Configure Attributes window for selecting any attributes that need to be encrypted.

    Callback Folder Enter the physical directory where you copied the Provisioning agent files (e.g., C:\Dataforum).

    Effective Date Select these effective date options: Set - Sets an attribute from the selected attributes to apply an effective date offset to control when the triggered data is run. A condition can be provided that determines when or if an effective date offset should be applied. Set a condition and effective date offset from the Effective Date tab. Clear - Removes the selected attribute from being defined for effective date processing. Format - Specifies a desired date/time format to be applied to the selected effective date field. Any field type can be selected to apply a date/time format to the effective date value.

18. From the Trigger Properties tab, perform these steps:
    1. Select a schema from the Schemas field.Select a table where the trigger is to be implemented from the Tables list. Select required fields from the Fields list and add them to the Selected Fields list. For the trigger to work properly you must have at least one field selected. Select the preferred key in the Unique Key field by clicking the Set Key button. Check the boxes in the Selected Fields list if the current data and the previous data before the change (called Original_field) are to be sent during the trigger.

    2. Under Operations, select the operations (Insert, Update, or Delete) where the trigger is to be generated.

    3. Enter the Callback Folder where the trigger configuration file (trigger.properties) resides.

    4. 
       

       Select an attribute from the Selected Fields and click Set in the Effective Date section to apply an effective date, if desired.

    5. Click the Format button to specify a particular date and time format for the selected Effective Date.
       
       
19. Click the Effective Date tab to configure an effective date condition and/or offset value. If effective date processing is not required, proceed to Step 23.
    
    
20. Click the Add The Set Trigger Data Condition window displays.
    
    
    1. Set an Effective Date Offset value and specify a condition when it will be used:
       • For triggers - All conditions specified here will be evaluated for each incoming data   The offset corresponding to the first condition that is satisfied will be applied to the date contained in the effective date attribute. An offset can be mapped to a condition that is specified as default. If none of the conditions in the list are satisfied, the offset corresponding to the default condition will be applied to the effective date.
       • For Chained workflows - From the Chained workflow Configure Data Source window, specify the attribute that should have an effective date condition and offset value From the preceding Data Mapper, provide conditions and offset values to calculate the target effective date value and save this value to the effective date attribute as the target attribute.
    2. Click OK when finished.
       
       
21. From the Target Workflow Selection tab, select the deployed workflow(s) to run when the trigger occurs, and then click the Add > button.
    
    
    To remove a selected workflow from being run, highlight it under Selected Workflows and click the < Remove button.

    Notes:

    • If more than one workflow is selected, they are run in the order listed.
    • If workflows are deployed in Asynchronous mode, all workflows are run together.
      
      
    • If serialized execution of workflows is required, consider chaining them.
22. Highlight a workflow from the Selected Workflows list and click the Set Condition button to set a condition before running Target workflows. The Set Lookup Condition window displays.
    
    
    1. Set a check condition before running workflows. Build a complex condition with logical AND/ OR.
