Scope of triggers

A trigger type defines a trigger for use within a VOB or PVOB. When you create a trigger type, with the cleartool mktrtype command, you specify the scope to be one of the following:
  • An element trigger type applies to one or more elements. You attach an instance of the trigger type to one or more elements by using the cleartool mktrigger command.
  • An all-element trigger type applies to all elements in a VOB.
  • A type trigger type applies to type objects, such as attributes types, in a VOB.
  • A UCM trigger type applies to a UCM object, such as a stream or a project, in a PVOB.
  • An all-UCM-object trigger type applies to all UCM objects in a PVOB.
