Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Sage X3

Give your engineers Sage X3'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 Purchase Orders, Work Orders, Stock / Inventory by site, Bills of Material from Sage X3 into IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Sage X3 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 Sage X3 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.
  • Publish per-site stock levels to storefronts and a WMS on a schedule.
  • Replicate GL journals and sales history to a warehouse for multi-company, multi-legislation reporting.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM AS/400 back into Sage X3, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Sage X3 live in IBM AS/400 as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Sage X3 interface, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Sage X3

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 Sage X3 objects
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier-facing systems.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Work Orders Production orders read by MES and scheduling integrations.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Stock / Inventory by site On-hand and allocated quantities per site, synced to storefronts and WMS.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Bills of Material Product structures read for planning and costing.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. GL Journals Financial entries replicated to warehouses for group reporting.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Deliveries Shipment documents synced to logistics providers and customer portals.

How the IBM AS/400 and Sage X3 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.

Sage X3

Integration surface
SOAP and REST web services published from X3 business objects; direct SQL access to the underlying database on-prem
Authentication
Dedicated web-service user credentials (Basic auth) against configured connection pools
Change detection
Scheduled polling; no general webhook surface on the classic web services layer
