server trigger recursion Server Configuration Option

[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md]

Use the server trigger recursion option to specify whether to allow server-level triggers to fire recursively. When this option is set to 1 (ON), server-level triggers will be allowed to fire recursively. When set to 0 (OFF), server-level triggers cannot be fired recursively. Only direct recursion is prevented when the server trigger recursion option is set to 0 (OFF). (To disable indirect recursion, set the nested triggers option to 0.) The default value for this option is 1 (ON). The setting takes effect immediately (without a server restart).

For more information, see Create Nested Triggers.
