Why teams connect IBM Informix and SAP S/4HANA

Give your engineers SAP S/4HANA'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 Production Orders, Business Partners, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders from SAP S/4HANA into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • Push closed-won CRM opportunities into S/4HANA as sales orders without manual re-keying.
  • Surface invoice and payment status from S/4HANA inside the CRM so account teams see open balances.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA

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 S/4HANA objects
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Business Partners Unified customer and supplier master records, the anchor entity for CRM-to-ERP account syncs.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Sales Orders Order headers and line items synced to CRMs and fulfillment systems as they are created or amended.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs.
