SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to leverage external programming languages like Python, Java, and .NET to build robust interoperability productions within the InterSystems IRIS platform, bridging the gap between different systems and protocols.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • External Language Integration: Develop business services, operations, and adapters using Python, Java, or .NET.
  • Flexible Production Design: Create productions with a mix of external language components and InterSystems IRIS components.
  • Adapter Development: Build custom inbound and outbound adapters for various communication protocols.
  • Use Case: Integrate a legacy Java-based financial service into an InterSystems IRIS production to process real-time stock quotes, transforming data and routing it to different internal systems.

Quick Start

Use the PEX skill to develop a Python business service that integrates with an external REST API.

Frequently Asked Questions about PEX: Developing Productions with an External Language

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build InterSystems IRIS interoperability productions using Python?▼

You can build InterSystems IRIS interoperability productions using Python by defining PEX libraries to create custom business services, processes, and adapters. This approach bridges external Python codebases into the unified production framework.

Can I integrate legacy Java code into an InterSystems IRIS production?▼

Yes, you can integrate legacy Java code into an InterSystems IRIS production using the PEX framework. It enables the creation of custom business operations and adapters to process real-time data and route it within internal systems.

What is the best way to mix external language components with InterSystems IRIS components?▼

The best way to mix external language components with InterSystems IRIS components is by using PEX. It supports flexible production design, allowing you to register external .NET, Java, or Python components alongside native IRIS components.

Does PEX support developing custom inbound and outbound adapters for external languages?▼

Yes, PEX supports developing custom inbound and outbound adapters for external languages. You can build adapters for various communication protocols using Python, Java, or .NET to facilitate diverse system integration.

How do I register external language business services in an InterSystems IRIS production?▼

You register external language business services in an InterSystems IRIS production by defining PEX libraries and managing runtime variables. This process connects your external codebase to the IRIS interoperability framework.

When should I use external language adapters instead of native InterSystems IRIS components?▼

You should use external language adapters when you need to integrate diverse system protocols or leverage existing external language codebases. This allows you to bridge legacy systems into a unified InterSystems IRIS production framework.
