Participants learn how to install, configure, and manage InterSystems IRIS environments effectively. The day begins with an introduction and discussion of each participant’s goals, followed by a practical session on installing and configuring IRIS across different platforms.
Key administrative topics such as user and security management, backups, logging, and troubleshooting are covered through guided exercises.
Attendees also explore system monitoring, performance tuning, and integration with external systems and mirrored environments. The course emphasizes real-world problem solving and best practices.
