Why teams connect IBM Informix and Infor LN

Give your engineers Infor LN's data in IBM Informix: 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 Sales orders, Purchase orders, Production orders, Warehouse / inventory from Infor LN into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Infor LN 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 Informix sync back into Infor LN with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • Sync item masters, BOMs, and production orders between LN and MES or PLM systems on the shop floor.
  • Flow EDI and ecommerce sales orders into LN and return order status and shipment confirmations.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Infor LN arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Infor LN is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in IBM Informix for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM Informix back into Infor LN, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Infor LN

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 Informix objects Infor LN objects
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Projects Project structures used in engineer-to-order manufacturing scenarios.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Service orders Aftermarket service documents synced with field service tools.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Items Manufacturing item masters synced to PLM, MES, and commerce systems.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Bills of material Product structures shared with engineering and planning tools.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Business partners LN's unified customer/supplier records matched against CRM accounts.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Sales orders Demand documents synced in from EDI and commerce channels.
