Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Microsoft Dynamics 365

Mirror Microsoft Dynamics 365's data into IBM AS/400 so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Microsoft Dynamics 365 through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM AS/400.

Stacksync mirrors Quotes, Orders & Invoices, Products, Activities, Custom Tables from Microsoft Dynamics 365 into Journals and journal receivers, Data queues, Libraries, Physical files (tables) in IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Microsoft Dynamics 365, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Keep opportunities and orders consistent with the ERP or billing system without manual re-entry.
  • Sync cases with external ticketing or product systems so support works one queue.
  • Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Microsoft Dynamics 365 arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Microsoft Dynamics 365 with a query

Records from Microsoft Dynamics 365 are ordinary rows in IBM AS/400; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Microsoft Dynamics 365

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.

IBM AS/400 objects Microsoft Dynamics 365 objects
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Cases (Incidents) Support records shared with ticketing tools and product databases.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Quotes, Orders & Invoices Transaction documents reconciled with the ERP or billing source of truth.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Products Catalog records aligned with ERP item masters.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Activities Emails, calls, and tasks captured for engagement analytics.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Custom Tables Dataverse tables that carry business-specific entities through the same API surface.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Accounts Company records synced bi-directionally with ERPs, databases, and billing systems.

How the IBM AS/400 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 connectors work

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.

Microsoft Dynamics 365

Integration surface
REST API (Dataverse Web API, OData v4); Finance & Operations apps expose a separate OData data-entity surface
Authentication
Microsoft OAuth sign-in: user provides the D365 environment URL, signs in with Microsoft credentials, and accepts the Stacksync app (permissions to read CRM data and interact with OData entities)
Change detection
Change data capture (CDC) via the Dynamics 365 Change Tracking feature; standard entities have change tracking enabled by default, custom entities require enabling "Track Changes" in Power Apps/Dataverse table properties
Capabilities
