Trigger Firing sequence in D2K (Oracle Forms)

Trigger Firing sequence:


This is most important thing to understand in Oracle D2K Forms When you open a form
following triggers are executed

First Logon Triggers are fired


1.PRE-LOGON
2.ON-LOGON
3.POST-LOGON

After that Pre Triggers


4. PRE-FORM
5. PRE-BLOCK
6. PRE-TEXT

After that WHEN-NEW Triggers


7. WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
8. WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE
9. WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE

After that ITEM Level Triggers


After this focus is on the first item of the Block. If you type some data and press the tab key
following trigger will fire in sequence
10.KEY-NEXT-ITEM (This trigger is present on the item level).
11.POST-CHANGE (This trigger is present on the item level).
12.WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM (This trigger is present on the item level).
13.POST-TEXT-ITEM (This trigger is present on the item level).
14.WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE (Block Level Trigger).

Now focus will go the next item present on the form.


If there are no further items present on the screen them if we enter data and press tab key
then only KEY-NEXT-ITEM is fired. Now suppose we close the form then the item level
triggers are fired.

POST TRIGGERS

15.POST-BLOCK
16.POST-FORM

Now the form will be closed.
