Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and RavenDB

Keep IBM AS/400 and RavenDB 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 IBM AS/400 and RavenDB 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

  • Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • Mirror reference data from relational systems into RavenDB collections that serve application reads.
  • Consolidate documents from distributed RavenDB clusters into one reporting store.

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.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both IBM AS/400 and RavenDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and RavenDB

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 RavenDB objects
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads

How the IBM AS/400 and RavenDB 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.

RavenDB

Integration surface
HTTP REST API with official clients (.NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and others)
Authentication
X.509 client certificates on secured servers, instead of username and password
Change detection
data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas
