Why teams connect IBM Informix and SAP Business One

Give your engineers SAP Business One'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 Items, Sales Orders, A/R Invoices, Purchase Orders from SAP Business One into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP Business One 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 SAP Business One with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • Replicate invoices and journal entries into a SQL database for reporting without direct ERP database access.
  • Sync activities and service data with external support tools for teams that do not log into Business One.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from SAP Business One live in IBM Informix 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 SAP Business One interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in SAP Business One arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and SAP Business One

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 SAP Business One objects
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Business Partners Combined customer, vendor, and lead master records; the anchor object for most syncs.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Items Product master data including inventory levels, aligned with e-commerce and warehouse systems.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Sales Orders Order documents with header and line structure created from external channels.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. A/R Invoices Billing documents synced outward for CRM visibility and payment tracking.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier-facing tools.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Deliveries Fulfillment documents read to update shipment status in external systems.
