(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 program 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 programs 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 disks (VDisks) that have a copy relationship.
Industry:Software
(1) A program that maps client programs 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 programs to the port numbers of server programs. Multiple versions of this protocol, each specifying a different level of functionality, have been defined.
Industry:Software

Industry:Software
(1) A database or subsystem that contains the source tables for replication.<br />(2) A server that is being upgraded with new hardware or software or whose data is being migrated.<br />(3) In distributed data management (DDM), the function that converts source requests to data streams containing DDM commands and output data, and sends them over the network to the target server.
Industry:Software
(1) A program that provides an interface between a specific device and the application program that uses the device.<br />(2) A collection of workflows that implement logical device operations for a specific device or data center asset.
Industry:Software
(1) A database that contains replication target tables.<br />(2) In upgrades, the planned hardware configuration and software level that exists when the upgrade is completed.<br />(3) In Q replication and SQL replication, a database or subsystem that contains replication target tables or procedures.
