Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Vertica

Connect IBM AS/400 and Vertica with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM AS/400's rows in Vertica, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM AS/400 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM AS/400 sync into Vertica in real time, and result tables in Vertica sync back into IBM AS/400, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push segments or aggregates computed in Vertica back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • 02 Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Vertica schemas for enterprise BI.
  • 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

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Vertica and keep IBM AS/400 focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from IBM AS/400 land in Vertica as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Vertica

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 Vertica objects How this pairing syncs
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and External Tables to Vertica — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and Schemas to Vertica — 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. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Projections to Vertica — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Physical files (tables) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Views to Vertica — 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. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Flex Tables to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Vertica

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 Vertica 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 applied to Vertica as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Vertica IBM AS/400 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.
