Why teams connect Anaplan and IBM AS/400

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from IBM AS/400: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Processes, Cell Data, Models, Modules from Anaplan into Data queues, Libraries, Physical files (tables), Logical files (views) in IBM AS/400 and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against IBM AS/400, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Anaplan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.
  • Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in IBM AS/400 as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Anaplan live in IBM AS/400 as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on IBM AS/400; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

What you can sync between Anaplan and IBM AS/400

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.

Anaplan objects IBM AS/400 objects
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access.

How the Anaplan and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

IBM AS/400

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC to Db2 for i (for example the JTOpen/jt400 driver), alongside native record-level access
Authentication
IBM i user profile credentials (database credentials)
Change detection
Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
