Why teams connect Anaplan and IBM Informix

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from IBM Informix: 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 List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes from Anaplan into Stored procedures, Logical logs, Databases, Tables in IBM Informix and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against IBM Informix, 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

  • Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.

Internal tools without API plumbing

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

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in IBM Informix propagate into Anaplan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

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

What you can sync between Anaplan and IBM Informix

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 Informix objects
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection.

How the Anaplan and IBM Informix 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 Informix

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers; DRDA connectivity is also supported
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
