### Defining Processing Options for an InterSystems IRIS Instance

This example shows how to define processing options for a discovered InterSystems IRIS instance.

```
$iris = Get-VBRDiscoveredApplication -Iris -IrisEntityType IrisInstance
$options = New-VBRIrisProcessingOptions -BackupObject $iris[0] -Username "irisadmin"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRDiscoveredApplication`](get-vbrdiscoveredapplication.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Iris` and `IrisEntityType` parameter values. Save the result to the `$iris` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRIrisProcessingOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$iris` variable as the `BackupObject` parameter value. Specify the `Username` parameter value. Save the result to the `$options` variable to use with other cmdlets.
