LOB Item Link Field

Configuring Large Object (LOB) item link fields defines how your application transfers and processes data pointers for massive unformatted data blocks (such as BLOB or CLOB data types) instead of loading the entire content into memory. Choose the Transfer Mode

When configuring a LOB connector or item link field, you must first dictate whether the actual values or data locators pass through the database links.

Inline Form: The database transfers the actual data bytes directly on the link. Use this approach if your LOB items are relatively small (under 1 MB).

Reference/Locator Form: The system creates a string link or LOB locator pointer. Use this for heavy multimedia files or documents to prevent severe application memory strain. Step-by-Step Configuration Steps WorkView – Product Documentation – Hyland
