Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and IBM AS/400

Keep Azure Cosmos DB and IBM AS/400 synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Azure Cosmos DB and IBM AS/400 continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Sync CRM or ERP records into a Cosmos DB container that backs a customer-facing application.
  • Mirror Cosmos DB items into Postgres so teams can query operational data with standard SQL.
  • 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.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects IBM AS/400 objects
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.

How the Azure Cosmos DB and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Azure Cosmos DB

Integration surface
REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces
Authentication
Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access
Change detection
Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

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.
