Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from IBM Db2: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation from Workday into Tables, Views, Indexes, Stored Procedures in IBM Db2 and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against IBM Db2, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Expose Db2 records that back core business systems to a CRM so sales and support see order or account state.
  • Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on IBM Db2; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in IBM Db2 propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in IBM Db2 as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Workday

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 Db2 objects Workday objects
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.

How the IBM Db2 and Workday connectors work

IBM Db2

Integration surface
SQL via JDBC/ODBC/CLI drivers; optional REST endpoints in some editions
Authentication
Database credentials, typically backed by OS or LDAP authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed; otherwise polling on timestamp or audit columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
Capabilities
