Binary fields

A Binary field contains a value of arbitrary length that the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform cannot directly manipulate. For example, a Binary field can be used to contain an Excel spreadsheet. The exception to this is when the binary field stores an Excel spreadsheet and used in conjunction with the Distill File and Populate File workflow tasks discussed in "Offline Excel spreadsheets".

A Binary field has all of the usual field properties, which are described in "Field properties".

Tip: Binary field names should end with BI for easy identification later, e.g., cstDataTemplateBI.
