Why teams connect Dremio and IBM AS/400

Connect IBM AS/400 and Dremio with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM AS/400's rows in Dremio, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM AS/400 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM AS/400 sync into Dremio in real time, and result tables in Dremio sync back into IBM AS/400, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate data from multiple lake sources through one Dremio semantic layer into a single warehouse target.
  • Sync curated Dremio views into an operational Postgres so applications get low-latency access to lakehouse data.
  • Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.
  • Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Dremio sync into IBM AS/400, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Dremio and keep IBM AS/400 focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Dremio 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.

Dremio objects IBM AS/400 objects
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files.
Apache Iceberg tables Lakehouse tables supporting DML and snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations.
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.

How the Dremio and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Dremio

Integration surface
Arrow Flight SQL, JDBC/ODBC, and a REST API
Authentication
Personal access tokens or username/password; OAuth-based SSO on Dremio Cloud
Change detection
Polling via SQL; Iceberg table snapshots can anchor incremental reads; no consumer-facing change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than API rate limits

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
