Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Seismic

Treat Seismic like part of your database: its records live in IBM AS/400 as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in IBM AS/400, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Teamsites, LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities from Seismic into Physical files (tables), Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records in IBM AS/400 with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Seismic with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 02 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 03 Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.
  • 04 Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Seismic become tables in IBM AS/400 you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM AS/400 sync onto the matching records in Seismic, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Seismic API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Seismic

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 Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Reporting Activities to Seismic — 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. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Physical files (tables) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Library Content to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Users to Seismic — 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. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and User Groups to Seismic — 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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Seismic

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 Seismic 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 Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend 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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
