Why teams connect BambooHR and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and BambooHR share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

BambooHR is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Time Off, Employment Status, Departments and Divisions, Custom Tables in BambooHR need to exist as queryable Views, Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Views, Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) with Time Off, Employment Status, Departments and Divisions, Custom Tables in BambooHR field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — BambooHR typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate operational tables from OCI to an analytics warehouse with log-based CDC instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 02 Run on-prem Oracle and OCI side by side during a cloud migration while keeping both ends writable.
  • 03 Push approved Time Off into capacity and scheduling systems so project plans reflect real availability.
  • 04 Feed Compensation and custom-table data to a warehouse for HR analytics with field-level access control.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) write onto the matching record in BambooHR where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in BambooHR land as queryable Views, Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between BambooHR and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

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.

BambooHR objects OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) objects How this pairing syncs
Custom Tables Company-specific effective-dated tables (assets, training, certifications); rows read and written so custom HR data isn't trapped in the HRIS. Partitions Physical table subdivisions relevant when replicating large fact tables Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Partitions to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Saved company reports retrievable via API; read out on a schedule to feed a warehouse without rebuilding field-by-field queries. Tables The primary sync surface; rows are read and written directly over SQL Reports is specific to BambooHR and Tables to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees The core person record with personal and work fields; read out to identity, payroll, and IT systems, and written back from recruiting or onboarding tools. Views Read-only projections used to expose curated subsets to downstream systems Employees is specific to BambooHR and Views to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Information Effective-dated job title, department, division, location, and reporting line; synced so org charts and provisioning systems track internal moves. Materialized views Precomputed result sets sometimes used as stable read sources for replication Job Information is specific to BambooHR and Materialized views to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Effective-dated pay rate, schedule, and change reason; read into planning and payroll systems with access restricted to authorized fields. Schemas Namespace boundaries that scope which objects a sync connection can access Compensation is specific to BambooHR and Schemas to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Off Requests, balances, and policies; read for absence calendars and capacity planning, with approved requests written from an external scheduling tool. Sequences Key generators that matter when writing new rows from external systems Time Off is specific to BambooHR and Sequences to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

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.

BambooHR OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Sub-second propagation

DetectionBambooHR notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) BambooHR Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • BambooHR: Requests are rate-limited per API key with standard REST throttling (429 on excess); bulk reads are best done through saved Reports or the updated-IDs delta endpoint rather than per-employee calls.
  • OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): Throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas.
