Why teams connect Actian Vector and IBM AS/400
Connect IBM AS/400 and Actian Vector with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.
Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM AS/400's rows in Actian Vector, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM AS/400 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.
Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM AS/400 sync into Actian Vector in real time, and result tables in Actian Vector sync back into IBM AS/400, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.
Common use cases
- 01 Consolidate data from several source systems into one Vector database for BI dashboards.
- 02 Load operational data from CRMs and ERPs into Actian Vector tables for analytical queries.
- 03 Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.
- 04 Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
Common sync patterns
Fresh analytics without loading windows
Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.
Offload heavy reads
Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Actian Vector and keep IBM AS/400 focused on its operational workload.
Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline
Rows from IBM AS/400 land in Actian Vector as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.
What you can sync between Actian Vector and IBM AS/400
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.
| Actian Vector objects | IBM AS/400 objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced tables. | Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. | Schemas is specific to Actian Vector and Rows / records to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tables Columnar tables that serve as sync sources or destinations. | Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. | Tables is specific to Actian Vector and Journals and journal receivers to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Views SQL views readable as query-backed sync sources. | Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. | Views is specific to Actian Vector and Data queues to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Columns Typed columns mapped field-by-field during schema mapping. | Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. | Columns is specific to Actian Vector and Libraries to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users and Roles Database principals used to grant the sync connection least-privilege access. | Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. | Users and Roles is specific to Actian Vector and Physical files (tables) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Databases Top-level containers targeted by a sync connection. | Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. | Databases is specific to Actian Vector and Logical files (views) to IBM AS/400 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Actian Vector and IBM AS/400
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Actian Vector IBM AS/400 Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Actian Vector for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or key columns.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
IBM AS/400 Actian Vector Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Actian Vector as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Rate-limit considerations
- Actian Vector: No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput depends on cluster resources and query concurrency.
- IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.

FAQ
Actian Vector and IBM AS/400 integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Actian Vector and IBM AS/400: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Actian Vector's Schemas and Tables), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Actian Vector and IBM AS/400 connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Actian Vector–IBM AS/400 integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Actian Vector and IBM AS/400. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Actian Vector: Polling on timestamp or key columns; no log-based CDC interface is generally exposed to external consumers. On IBM AS/400: Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files; polling as a fallback. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Actian Vector side: Users and Roles, Databases, Schemas, Tables, plus custom fields where Actian Vector exposes them. On the IBM AS/400 side: Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
