Hi,
I have a requirement like,
I do have an IMS screen from where user entries are stored into a DB2 table.
Now I need to send an e-mail notification to the user if something has been done on the screen which affects the DB2 table entries ie) if it is updated inserted or deleted.
I can do this in batch process but I would like to know if there is a way in online to identify whenever an user has changed some info on the IMS screen which in turn affects the DB2 table so that with that identification I can send him email spontaneously.
Please do let me know if there is a way. |

| One way is to have the MPP issue a DB2 stored procedure call. IBM provides a sample DB2 stored procedure that can submit jobs. |

In Db2 you can create triggers. "A trigger defines a set of actions executed executed in response to the event of an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE operation on a specified table. When such an SQL operation is executed, the trigger is said to be activated. The trigger can be activated before the SQL operation or after it".
Refer-http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/c0007038.htm
This way you can define a trigger and decide what to do when the table is updated. |

| Question is about an an IMS DC screen which insert/delete/update data in a DB2 table. And he wants to send the email whenever a modification happens to the DB2 table. I just suggested one of the easy ways to achieve the result. |

| I think you can also use the IMS Spooler API to send email, but I have never done it and can offer no advice. |
