- 38. Direct Database Integration- Caution Primavera DB Other System It is recommended to use Primavera Web Services for integration. However, additional database-level integration is technically possible when Primavera is deployed on-premise. Care should be taken to not adversely affect performance, scalability, or functionality when making any database change.
- 39. Database Triggers Database Triggersare procedures stored in the database that get executed when a table is modified (insert, update, delete) Design Best Practices •The trigger should only do what is likely to succeed •Communication should be asynchronous Possible Uses of Triggers •Copy record or specific changes to another non-production table •Leverage Oracle Advanced Queuing (AQ) •Enqueue a message or call stored procedure to do the same •Payload can be XML, string, record, etc.
