Trigger, Target and Reference Info Areas

Learn about the info areas involved when trigger is executed.

Three info areas are involved whenever a trigger is executed:

• Trigger Info Area: The info area from which the trigger is initiated. This can be the info area for which a trigger is defined in the Rights info area (Triggers column) or the root info area of the Reference defined in the Trigger info area, see Defining Database Events and Reference and Root Info Area.
• Target Info Area: The info area that is updated by the trigger. This is the info area entered in the Info Area field in the Trigger info area, see Defining Triggers.
• Reference Info Area: This is the info area from which data is copied using a reference. The info area is entered in the Reference field in the Trigger info area, see Field References and Reference and Root Info Area.

The trigger, target and reference info areas can be the same.

When using the Plausibility Check or Prior to saving options in a trigger, the trigger and target info areas must be the same.
