Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Yellowbrick

Connect IBM AS/400 and Yellowbrick with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM AS/400's rows in Yellowbrick, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM AS/400 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM AS/400 sync into Yellowbrick in real time, and result tables in Yellowbrick sync back into IBM AS/400, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Sync CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
  • 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.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from IBM AS/400 land in Yellowbrick as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Yellowbrick sync into IBM AS/400, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Yellowbrick

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 Yellowbrick objects
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write.

How the IBM AS/400 and Yellowbrick 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.

Yellowbrick

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible) with JDBC/ODBC drivers; bulk loading via the ybload utility
Authentication
Database credentials, with LDAP and Kerberos options in enterprise deployments
Change detection
Polling on timestamp columns; no exposed transaction-log CDC
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.
