Why teams connect Egnyte and InterSystems IRIS

Keep InterSystems IRIS and Egnyte in step: a row in InterSystems IRIS for every file in Egnyte, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in InterSystems IRIS says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Egnyte holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes in InterSystems IRIS with Events and Audit reports, Files, Folders, Users in Egnyte bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate IRIS tables to Postgres so application teams can build against a familiar database
  • 02 Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access
  • 03 Write custom Metadata such as classification tags and project fields onto Files and Folders from a governance or DMS system, and read it back for reporting.
  • 04 Mirror folder Permissions from a directory or access-management system so entitlements stay consistent across teams.

Common sync patterns

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in InterSystems IRIS write back to the matching file's metadata in Egnyte, and metadata changed in Egnyte updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in InterSystems IRIS references a file in Egnyte, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Egnyte become rows in InterSystems IRIS as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

What you can sync between Egnyte and InterSystems IRIS

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Egnyte objects InterSystems IRIS objects How this pairing syncs
Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Groups is specific to Egnyte and Persistent Classes to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Globals to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Namespaces Namespaces partition databases and determine the connection context for integrations. Links is specific to Egnyte and Namespaces to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Stored Procedures to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events and Audit reports File, login, permission, and sharing activity read via the Events API and Audit Reporting API; consumed read-only for compliance. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Events and Audit reports is specific to Egnyte and Tables to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files File content managed via the fs-content endpoint (upload/download, chunked for large files); synced two-way with other stores. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Files is specific to Egnyte and Views to InterSystems IRIS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and InterSystems IRIS

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Egnyte InterSystems IRIS Sub-second propagation

DetectionEgnyte notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata,.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to InterSystems IRIS as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

InterSystems IRIS Egnyte Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InterSystems IRIS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling (timestamp or query-based).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Egnyte through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Egnyte: Auto-generated keys default to 2 requests/second and 1,000 requests/day, enforced per access token; monitor X-Accesstoken-Qps-Current/Allotted and X-Accesstoken-Quota-Current headers; higher limits on request.
  • InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.
