Why teams connect Egnyte and IBM Db2

Keep IBM Db2 and Egnyte in step: a row in IBM Db2 for every file in Egnyte, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in IBM Db2 says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Egnyte holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Views, Indexes, Stored Procedures, Sequences in IBM Db2 with Events and Audit reports, Files, Folders, Users in Egnyte bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • 02 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.
  • 03 Mirror folder Permissions from a directory or access-management system so entitlements stay consistent across teams.
  • 04 Stream Egnyte audit Events (file, login, permission, and Link changes) into a warehouse or SIEM for compliance and governance reporting.

Common sync patterns

Continuous archival to file storage

Rows from IBM Db2 are written out to Egnyte as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Egnyte shows up as a row in IBM Db2, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in IBM Db2 write back to the matching file's metadata in Egnyte, and metadata changed in Egnyte updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

What you can sync between Egnyte and IBM Db2

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.

Egnyte objects IBM Db2 objects How this pairing syncs
Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Folders is specific to Egnyte and Databases to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Users is specific to Egnyte and Schemas to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Groups is specific to Egnyte and Tables to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Views to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Links is specific to Egnyte and Indexes to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Stored Procedures to IBM Db2 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and IBM Db2

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.

Egnyte IBM Db2 Sub-second propagation

DetectionEgnyte notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata,.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

IBM Db2 Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Egnyte: Auto-generated keys default to 2 requests/second and 1,000 requests/day, enforced per access token; monitor X-Accesstoken-Qps-Current/Allotted and X-Accesstoken-Quota-Current headers; higher limits on request.
  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
