(1) A data type that contains a sequence of bytes that can range in size from 0 bytes to 2 gigabytes less 1 byte. This string does not have an associated code page and character set. BLOBs can contain, for example, image, audio, or video data.<br />(2) A block of bytes of data (for example, the body of a message) that has no discernible meaning, but is treated as one solid entity that cannot be interpreted.
Industry:Software
(1) A programme that copies data from a management software system, converts it to IDML, and stores it in books in the discovery library.<br />(2) A component of an IBM product that captures discovery information.

(1) A data type that contains a sequence of characters (single-byte, multibyte, or both) that can range in size from 0 bytes to 2 gigabytes less 1 byte. In general, CLOB values are used whenever a character string might exceed the limits of the VARCHAR type. See also large object.<br />(2) A character string that contains single-byte characters with an associated code page.
Industry:Software
(1) A programme that interprets user input and determines what to do with the input.<br />(2) A module used to break down a document into its component parts and to construct a document from its component parts.<br />(3) A programme that interprets documents that are added to the enterprise search data store. The parser extracts information from the documents and prepares them for indexing, search, and retrieval.
Industry:Software
(1) A data type with a private representation and a public set of operations.<br />(2) The creation of a view or model that suppresses unnecessary details to focus on a specific set of details of interest.
Industry:Software
(1) A programme that lets users look at data but not change it.<br />(2) A client programme that initiates requests to a Web server using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and displays the information that the server returns.
Industry:Software
(1) A database object that is associated with a single base table or view and that defines a rule. The rule consists of a set of SQL statements that runs when an insert, update, or delete database operation occurs on the associated base table or view. See also before trigger, delete trigger, insert trigger, trigger activation, trigger activation time, trigger granularity, after trigger, instead of trigger, update trigger.<br />(2) In database technology, a programme that is automatically called whenever a specified action is performed on a specific table or view. See also read trigger.<br />(3) A mechanism that causes something to begin.<br />(4) Data values for which AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF) searches, to delineate the beginning of a new group of pages. The first trigger is then the anchor point from which ACIF locates the defined index values.<br />(5) A monitor that specifies one or more standard programmes or built-in actions to be executed whenever a certain ClearCase operation is performed.<br />(6) A condition that signals that a risk factor should be monitored.<br />(7) A mechanism that detects an occurrence and can cause additional processing in response.<br />(8) To initiate or reinitiate copying between a pair of virtual discs (VDisks) that have a copy relationship.
Industry:Software
(1) A programme that maps client programmes to the port numbers of server programs. A portmapper is used with remote procedure call (RPC) programs.<br />(2) A service that implements version 2 of the portmapper protocol. See also RPCBIND.<br />(3) A protocol that specifies how to map client programmes to the port numbers of server programs. Multiple versions of this protocol, each specifying a different level of functionality, have been defined.
Industry:Software
(1) A database or device file that is opened with the option to allow records to be written.<br />(2) In COBOL, a file that is opened in either the output mode or extend mode.
Industry:Software
(1) A programme that processes or otherwise responds to messages received from terminals.<br />(2) An IMS application programme that is driven by transactions and has access to online IMS databases and message queues. See also batch processing program.
