Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Jobvite

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: IBM AS/400 and Jobvite share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Jobvite is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. IBM AS/400 is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Application, Workflow Status, New Hire, Employee in Jobvite need to exist as queryable Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers in IBM AS/400 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 Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers in IBM AS/400 with Application, Workflow Status, New Hire, Employee in Jobvite field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Jobvite 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 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 02 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.
  • 03 Write New Hire records into an HRIS or onboarding system the moment a candidate is marked hired, driven by Jobvite's candidate hired webhook.
  • 04 Push headcount-approved Requisitions from an internal planning database into Jobvite via POST /job so approved roles post to the career site automatically.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in IBM AS/400 write onto the matching record in Jobvite where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Jobvite land as queryable Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers in IBM AS/400, 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 IBM AS/400 and Jobvite

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.

IBM AS/400 objects Jobvite objects How this pairing syncs
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Employee Employee roster pushed through POST /employee (Onboard sync), used for referral matching and internal-mobility job postings. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Employee to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Attachment Resumes, cover letters, and files attached to a candidate; synced out to object storage or a document management system. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and Attachment to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Offer Offer state tied to an application (extended, accepted, declined); read out for offer-acceptance reporting and written to downstream comp or HR systems. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Offer to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Candidate Read from the candidate feed (GET /candidate) and written back via POST /candidate/updateCandidates to change status, notes, and disposition on each record. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Candidate to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Requisition (Job) Job openings created or updated through POST /job and read from GET /jobFeed; maps to opening tables in an ATS reporting warehouse. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Requisition (Job) to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Application Links a candidate to one requisition with its workflow state; read for pipeline reporting and status written back through the candidate update call. Physical files (tables) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Application to Jobvite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Jobvite

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.

IBM AS/400 Jobvite Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

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

Jobvite IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionJobvite notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. A candidate hired webhook, configured per customer by a Jobvite rep, POSTs to a custom URL on hire/offer-accepted events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
  • Jobvite: Roughly 15 requests per minute and 850 per hour, reset at midnight Pacific, with per-endpoint daily caps (e.g. 20,000/day candidate GET/PUT, 500/day employee sync); 429 on exceed.
