InterSystems IRIS Documents

On this page, the term document refers to any discrete item that you place within a source control system; this includes class definitions, routines, and data transformations. InterSystems IRIS records information such as whether a document has changed since the last compilation. Your source control system treats each document as a separate unit.

Each document has two names:

• An internal name.

• An external name, which is the fully qualified path to the file in the file system.
