Why teams connect Extensiv (3PL Central) and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Extensiv (3PL Central)'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 Shipments, Warehouses, Inventory adjustments, Customers from Extensiv (3PL Central) into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Extensiv (3PL Central) with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • 02 Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • 03 Consolidate order and shipment data across 3PL clients into a reporting database for billing and SLA tracking.
  • 04 Sync commerce or ERP orders into 3PL Central for fulfillment, and sync shipment confirmations with tracking numbers back.

Common sync patterns

Where Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Extensiv (3PL Central), keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Extensiv (3PL Central) live in IBM Informix as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Extensiv (3PL Central) 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.

Extensiv (3PL Central) objects IBM Informix objects How this pairing syncs
Inventory adjustments Manual stock corrections that reconciliation syncs need to capture. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Inventory adjustments is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Rows to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers The 3PL's clients; nearly every other record is scoped to one, so syncs carry customer context on each call. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Customers is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Views to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items SKU masters kept aligned between the merchant's systems and the warehouse. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Items is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and TimeSeries objects to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory On-hand and available quantities by warehouse, mirrored out to drive channel availability. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Inventory is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Stored procedures to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders Outbound fulfillment orders pushed in from commerce or ERP systems. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Orders is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Logical logs to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receivers Inbound receiving records (receipts/ASNs) that confirm stock arrival back to purchasing systems. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Receivers is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Databases to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Extensiv (3PL Central) 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.

Extensiv (3PL Central) IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionExtensiv (3PL Central) notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook events for order, receipt, item, and inventory changes, with polling on modified-date filters as a fallback.

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

IBM Informix Extensiv (3PL Central) 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 Extensiv (3PL Central) through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Extensiv (3PL Central): Subject to the platform's API rate limits; batch endpoints reduce call volume for order and inventory syncs.
  • IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.
