SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of configuring InterSystems IRIS instances, both during initial deployment and for reconfiguring existing instances, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

Declarative Configuration: Define desired instance configurations in a merge file.
Automated Deployment: Apply configurations automatically when deploying new instances (containers or kits).
Reconfiguration: Update settings and objects on running instances without manual intervention.
Use Case: Deploy a cluster of InterSystems IRIS instances with specific memory settings, security configurations, and database mappings automatically applied using a single merge file.

Quick Start

Apply the configuration merge file '/path/to/your/merge.cpf' to the 'IRISInstance' using the iris merge command.
