HELP with Trigger in PDMWorks Please

HELP with Trigger in PDMWorks Please

(OP)
When a drawing is checked into the vault that the engineer says is complete, I need to notify several people of status for review. The more I read about msmq triggers, the more confused I become. Can anyone explain this or help me accomplish this easily. please I am feeling dumber everyday.

RE: HELP with Trigger in PDMWorks Please

The documentation makes it sound like setting up triggers is a trivial task, but it's not.  You'll need the help of an experienced IT person to set up the necessary modules in Windows (such as IIS), then you'll need an experienced programmer to write the code that is run by the triggers.  There are some examples on the SolidWorks website, but you need someone with programming experience to take them to their logical conclusion.  Also, for some vault-related activities, you need the API, which I don't think is included with a basic PDMWorks license.

I understand that triggers require “Advanced Server Software”. Are you running Advanced Server?

Hey Thanks for the reply's, acually I am the IT guy, I do have the Advanced Server for PDMWorks and windows and the vault are correctly set up. I even have MSMQ set up and am able to make some example rules work. I just don't have any experince with API and my programming strengths are in PHP not Visual Basic or C++. You are right though, I may have to enlist one of our programmers to help. I attended PDMWorks training through our VAR but triggers was beyond the scope of training. that should have been my clue. Thnks again..Pote
