Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Sysaid

Mirror Sysaid's data into IBM AS/400 so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Sysaid through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM AS/400.

Stacksync mirrors Changes, Users, Assets, Configuration Items (CIs) from Sysaid into Logical files (views), Members, Rows / records, Journals and journal receivers in IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Sysaid, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream Service Records into a warehouse for SLA, backlog, and MTTR reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Incidents and Service Requests with a Postgres database so on-call and internal apps read and update tickets in SQL while agents keep working in SysAid.
  • 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

Read Sysaid with a query

Records from Sysaid are ordinary rows in IBM AS/400; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Sysaid from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM AS/400 and Stacksync propagates the change into Sysaid, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Sysaid arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Sysaid

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 Sysaid objects How this pairing syncs
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Incidents to Sysaid — 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. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Service Requests to Sysaid — 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. Problems Root-cause records that group related incidents; read and written to keep problem management aligned with an external ITSM or reporting store. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and Problems to Sysaid — 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. Changes Change records (type=change) with approval and scheduling fields; synced two-way to drive CAB review and deployment workflows. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Changes to Sysaid — 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. Users End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Users to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Assets Hardware and software inventory; read out to a warehouse or written from a discovery or CMDB source of truth. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Assets to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Sysaid

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

Sysaid IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

IBM AS/400

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC to Db2 for i (for example the JTOpen/jt400 driver), alongside native record-level access
Authentication
IBM i user profile credentials (database credentials)

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
