Why teams connect Extensiv (3PL Central) and IBM AS/400

Give your engineers Extensiv (3PL Central)'s data in IBM AS/400: 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 Receivers, Shipments, Warehouses, Inventory adjustments from Extensiv (3PL Central) into IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 AS/400 sync back into Extensiv (3PL Central) with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • Consolidate order and shipment data across 3PL clients into a reporting database for billing and SLA tracking.
  • Sync commerce or ERP orders into 3PL Central for fulfillment, and sync shipment confirmations with tracking numbers back.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Extensiv (3PL Central) arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Extensiv (3PL Central) is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in IBM AS/400 for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM AS/400 back into Extensiv (3PL Central), keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between Extensiv (3PL Central) 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.

Extensiv (3PL Central) objects IBM AS/400 objects
Items SKU masters kept aligned between the merchant's systems and the warehouse. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.
Inventory On-hand and available quantities by warehouse, mirrored out to drive channel availability. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Orders Outbound fulfillment orders pushed in from commerce or ERP systems. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.
Receivers Inbound receiving records (receipts/ASNs) that confirm stock arrival back to purchasing systems. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs.
Shipments Carrier and tracking details synced back once orders ship. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access.
Warehouses Facility records that partition inventory and order routing. Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files.

How the Extensiv (3PL Central) and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Extensiv (3PL Central)

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
Short-lived access tokens obtained from integration client credentials (client ID and secret)
Change detection
Webhook events for order, receipt, item, and inventory changes, with polling on modified-date filters as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; batch endpoints reduce call volume for order and inventory syncs

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.
