This example shows how to use the ALLOW_DDL_CHANGES_WHILE_OPEN QAQQINI option within a specific job to avoid the requirement of needing an exlusive lock for the *FILE object, before making a change to a trigger program.

Change trigger programs in production.sql

-- Create, Replace, Delete, or Disable trigger programs 
-- without acquiring an exclusive lock over the file

-- Prepare to break the rules
call qsys2.override_qaqqini(1, '', '');
-- Rules broken
call qsys2.override_qaqqini(2,  
                            'ALLOW_DDL_CHANGES_WHILE_OPEN', 
                            '*YES');
 
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER toystore.new_hire 
  AFTER INSERT ON toystore.employee
    FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2SQL
      UPDATE toystore.company_stats
        SET Number_of_employees = Number_of_employees + 1;
        
-- Done breaking the rules
call qsys2.override_qaqqini(3, '', '');

Thanks, this is now fixed.
