Update Custom Object


Hi...
I have a custom object that I would like to change the value of field PREVIOUS_FIRE this my object, when the PreviousFireTime of CronTrigger value be changed.
How do I update the field from my custom object based on field CronTrigger?

Thank you

Is CronTrigger a custom object and PreviousFireTime and PREVIOUS_FIRE are field on the CronTrigger object?

If yes, you can create a trigger on CronTrigger object at insert,update such that when the vaue of  PreviousFireTime is changed, you can fetch the value of PREVIOUS_FIRE and change it.

CronTrigger is an object of salesforce.
There I built it.

How do I get updates LAST EXECUTION  within CronTrigger of Salesforce to update the field of my custom object?

Thank you

Okay, following is what you can do..
Since you are looking to capture the last execution(or I can say the last creation or updation on the CronTrigger object), you can create a trigger as follows:

trigger UpdateField on CronTrigger(after insert, after update, after delete, after undelete) {
 
//WRITE CODE TO FETCH(USING SOQL) AND INSERT/UPDATE THE FIELD(say X) ROM ANOTHER OBJECT
 

  insert X;
}

sample code thru which you can get some ideas how to code:

Is it possible a trigger on CRONTRIGGER?

It's TRUE?

Sorry to have confused Standard Crontrigger Object (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_crontrigger.htm) with a custom object that I thought you might have created in your ORG(thats the reason I checked)...Don't think its possible in the standardto create a trigger here.. I'm checking to see if we can track the updates as you mentioned in your requirement ..
