Why teams connect IBM Informix and ServiceNow

Mirror ServiceNow's data into IBM Informix so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like ServiceNow through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM Informix.

Stacksync mirrors Change Requests, Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB) from ServiceNow into Stored procedures, Logical logs, Databases, Tables in IBM Informix and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into ServiceNow, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Bi-directional sync of incidents with engineering issue trackers so IT and engineering work the same ticket without re-keying
  • Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
  • 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.

Read ServiceNow with a query

Records from ServiceNow are ordinary rows in IBM Informix; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate ServiceNow from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM Informix and Stacksync propagates the change into ServiceNow, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in ServiceNow arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and ServiceNow

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 ServiceNow objects
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Knowledge Articles Support content that can be mirrored to help centers or search indexes.
