Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building application software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication between various software components.
I have a request from a client who wants to do the following. Currently, they have a data upload process via FTP in which they have implemented a RecordMap to store the information of the CSV files that are uploaded to the FTP directory. Now they want to have another directory so that it is ONLY executed through an external instruction, not when the file is uploaded to the directory.
I’ve been exploring options for connecting Google Cloud Pub/Sub with InterSystems IRIS/HealthShare, but I noticed that IRIS doesn’t seem to ship with any native inbound/outbound adapters for Pub/Sub. Out of the box, IRIS offers adapters for technologies like Kafka, HTTP, FTP, and JDBC, which are great for many use cases, but Pub/Sub appears to be missing from the list.
