Why teams connect InterSystems IRIS and Ukg Ready

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: InterSystems IRIS and Ukg Ready share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. InterSystems IRIS is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Tables, Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes in InterSystems IRIS before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Schemas, Persistent Classes in InterSystems IRIS with Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync operational tables in IRIS bi-directionally with a CRM so business teams work on IRIS-backed data without SQL access
  • 02 Consolidate IRIS data with other databases in an analytics warehouse for cross-system reporting
  • 03 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.
  • 04 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Accruals / Time Off, Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs), Benefits, Cost Centers / Groups replicate into InterSystems IRIS where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in InterSystems IRIS, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in InterSystems IRIS write onto the matching record in Ukg Ready where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between InterSystems IRIS and Ukg Ready

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.

InterSystems IRIS objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Stored Procedures is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Tables is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Views is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Schemas is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Persistent Classes is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Globals is specific to InterSystems IRIS and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between InterSystems IRIS and Ukg Ready

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.

InterSystems IRIS Ukg Ready 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 Ukg Ready through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Ready InterSystems IRIS Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • InterSystems IRIS: Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits.
  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
