Do package installations trigger entity events?

Hello Community,

 

Lets say, I have a Business process which is triggered when an Email Template record is modified, and that Email template is updated via a Package installation, the logical expectation is that the 'Modified' event is triggered and the Business process runs. We however notice that the event is not triggered, and the business process does not run.

  1. Do Package installations and changes through that trigger entity events? Do Package installations effect object changes to the DB via the ORM or does that mechanism work differently?
  2. If I wrote a business process which had a trigger to the SysPackage object and looked for modifications to a specific package, will it get triggered when I install that package??

Hello, 

 

Our application doesn't support designing business processes that are triggered after modifying system objects. The core of business process mechanisms works on low-level API which doesn't support start signals functionality. This is done in order to avoid any kind of accidents with business process mechanisms and also for performance maintaining reasons.

I am not sure I understood this - "The core of business process mechanisms works on low-level API which doesn't support start signals functionality". Are you saying that the start signal functionality does not work in Business processes?
