Why teams connect Epicor ERP and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Epicor ERP's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Jobs, Quotes, AR invoices, Shipments from Epicor ERP into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Epicor ERP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into Epicor ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • 02 Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • 03 Sync Epicor customers and AR invoices into a CRM so sales sees order history and credit status without ERP logins.
  • 04 Push won opportunities from the CRM into Epicor as sales orders and sync order status back.

Common sync patterns

React to ERP changes

Updates in Epicor ERP arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Epicor ERP is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in IBM Informix for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM Informix back into Epicor ERP, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between Epicor ERP and IBM Informix

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.

Epicor ERP objects IBM Informix objects How this pairing syncs
Shipments Fulfillment confirmations synced to customer portals and commerce systems. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Shipments is specific to Epicor ERP and Logical logs to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills of materials Methods of manufacturing read for costing and planning integrations. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Bills of materials is specific to Epicor ERP and Databases to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Master records synced with CRM accounts so sales and the ERP agree on ownership and credit status. Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Customers is specific to Epicor ERP and Tables to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor masters kept aligned with procurement and AP automation tools. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Suppliers is specific to Epicor ERP and Rows to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Parts Item masters that anchor inventory, BOM, and order line syncs. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Parts is specific to Epicor ERP and Views to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Created from won CRM opportunities; status and line changes sync back out. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Sales orders is specific to Epicor ERP and TimeSeries objects to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Epicor ERP and IBM Informix

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.

Epicor ERP IBM Informix Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Epicor ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on change-date fields.

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

IBM Informix Epicor ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Epicor ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits and per-tenant throttling on Kinetic cloud deployments.
  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
