I have some spel code that is fired by a POST_CI trigger and I want it to take slightly different actions depending on whether the record it is fired on has just been inserted or if it is an older one being updated.

When I've done this with other trigger types I have been able to pass one of the key fields (e.g. persistent_id) as a parameter and the "previous" value of that parameter (e.g. argv[2] rather than argv[3]) has been null, but that doesn't seem to be working in a POST_CI trigger.

Using r12.6.

Help, please.

HI,

if this is just to know  update vs. insert, you may want to just use the event state in a if statement  like below:

if(EVENT == "UPDATE"){

#this is an update}

if{EVENT == "INSERT"}{

#this is an insert

}

My 2 cents

/J

little correction, as event is a function not a variable, correct syntax would be:

(upcase(event()) == "INSERT")

True thanks cdtj to correct me

This is what is going when you responding fast from mobile

Why don't you put 2 triggers in place - one for UPDATE and one for INSERT ? This way there is no confusion. Internally, you could call the same method (since you're in POST_CI, the object context is gone anyway), but with different parameters.
