Why teams connect Akeneo and SAP ASE (Sybase)

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in SAP ASE (Sybase): read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Families and family variants, Reference entities and records, Assets, Channels and locales from Akeneo into SAP ASE (Sybase) and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Akeneo holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in SAP ASE (Sybase), such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Akeneo with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Bridge legacy ASE-backed applications to modern SaaS tools through a synced intermediate database.
  • 02 Migrate off ASE incrementally by keeping old and new databases in sync during cutover.
  • 03 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

React to store changes

Updates in Akeneo arrive as row changes in SAP ASE (Sybase), so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in SAP ASE (Sybase) sync back onto Akeneo, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in SAP ASE (Sybase) for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between Akeneo and SAP ASE (Sybase)

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.

Akeneo objects SAP ASE (Sybase) objects How this pairing syncs
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Stored Procedures T-SQL routines that encapsulate business logic; often invoked instead of direct table writes. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Stored Procedures to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Databases and Schemas Namespaces that scope sync configuration and permissions. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Databases and Schemas to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. Triggers Server-side hooks sometimes used to populate change-capture tables for syncs. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Triggers to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Indexes Access paths that keep keyed polling queries efficient on large OLTP tables. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Indexes to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. Tables The core sync unit; rows are read and written with standard SQL. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Tables to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Views Read-only projections used to shape data for extraction without touching base tables. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Views to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and SAP ASE (Sybase)

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.

Akeneo SAP ASE (Sybase) Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to SAP ASE (Sybase) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP ASE (Sybase) Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP ASE (Sybase) for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Timestamp or key-based polling and trigger-based capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

How the Akeneo and SAP ASE (Sybase) connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
