sysNotification

sysNotification(eventType: Integer;
                theObject: Object;
                eventTag:  Integer) updating;

The sysNotification method of the Object class is called automatically by the system when a subscribed event occurs.

The sysNotification method is notified automatically by the system when the nominated object events are committed for persistent object events. For example, if you registered a system notification on an object, specifying a type of Object_Update_Event, you then receive a notification whenever that object is updated.

Use the sysNotification method to code actions that are required to be performed when a specified system event occurs; for example:

sysNotification(eventType: Integer; theObject: Object; eventTag: Integer)
                updating;
begin
    if eventType = Object_Create_Event then         // new fault
        self.createGraph;
        self.loadTable;
    endif;
end;

The sysNotification method parameters, described in the following subsections, are summarized in the following table.

Parameter	Contains…
eventType	The type of event received from the causeEvent or causeClassEvent method
theObject	The object for which the notification is to be received
eventTag	An integer value that is received with each notification
