Why teams connect Hibob and IBM Netezza

Land the people and organization records from Hibob in IBM Netezza as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Hibob can use them.

Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Hibob is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in IBM Netezza next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Named lists, People (Employees), Employment, Work from Hibob into tables in IBM Netezza continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in IBM Netezza, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Hibob where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync curated Netezza views into BI and finance reporting tools on a schedule.
  • 02 Consolidate data from multiple regional systems into central Netezza fact tables.
  • 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.

Common sync patterns

Write-back of computed values

Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in IBM Netezza sync back onto the matching records in Hibob, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.

HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

People and organization records from Hibob arrive in IBM Netezza as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.

Headcount and cost joined with everything else

Analysts combine Hibob's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in IBM Netezza for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.

What you can sync between Hibob and IBM Netezza

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.

Hibob objects IBM Netezza objects How this pairing syncs
Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Sequences Key generators referenced when writing new rows. Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Sequences to IBM Netezza — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents Employee documents accessed under the Docs API; gated behind the Documents permission granted per service user. External tables File-backed load/unload paths used for bulk movement alongside row-level syncs. Documents is specific to Hibob and External tables to IBM Netezza — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Named lists Dropdown option lists such as departments and sites used to resolve field values when mapping People records during sync. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Named lists is specific to Hibob and Databases to IBM Netezza — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Schemas Namespace tables within a database. People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Schemas to IBM Netezza — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. Tables Distributed tables mapped directly to sync targets. Employment is specific to Hibob and Tables to IBM Netezza — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Work is specific to Hibob and Views to IBM Netezza — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and IBM Netezza

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.

Hibob IBM Netezza Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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

IBM Netezza Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls IBM Netezza for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
  • IBM Netezza: Bounded by appliance or instance capacity and concurrency settings.

How the Hibob and IBM Netezza connectors work

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
Capabilities

Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
