Why teams connect Dynamics 365 F&O and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Dynamics 365 F&O's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors General Journal Entries, On-hand Inventory, Customers, Vendors from Dynamics 365 F&O into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Dynamics 365 F&O is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into Dynamics 365 F&O with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • Mirror GL journals and invoice lines into a warehouse for finance reporting without recurring DMF exports.
  • Distribute product and price master data from F&O to downstream channels through a synced database.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Dynamics 365 F&O interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Dynamics 365 F&O arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Dynamics 365 F&O is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in IBM Informix for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

What you can sync between Dynamics 365 F&O 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.

Dynamics 365 F&O objects IBM Informix objects
Vendors Supplier master records; synced with procurement and AP tools. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key.
Released Products Sellable product master; read out to commerce channels and CRM catalogs. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data.
Sales Orders Order transactions; written in from storefronts or CRM and tracked through fulfillment. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables.
Purchase Orders Procurement transactions; extracted for spend and supply chain reporting. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths.
Customer Invoices AR billing documents; status synced back to CRM and customer success tools. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from.
Vendor Invoices AP documents; synced with invoice automation systems. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection.

How the Dynamics 365 F&O and IBM Informix connectors work

Dynamics 365 F&O

Integration surface
OData REST endpoint over data entities, plus the Data Management Framework for batch
Authentication
OAuth via Microsoft sign-in: provide the D365 F&O environment URL, sign in with Microsoft credentials, and grant the Stacksync app consent (admin consent may be required — "Need admin approval for this app")
Change detection
Change data capture via the Dynamics 365 Change Tracking feature, enabled per entity; falls back to periodic full-sync where change tracking is unavailable
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
OData requests are subject to platform throttling; high-volume loads belong in the Data Management Framework.

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.
