Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Vitally

Treat Vitally 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 Note, Conversation, NPS Response, Custom Trait from Vitally 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 Vitally 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 Push billing and subscription changes from an ERP or billing system into Vitally to keep success playbooks accurate.
  • 02 Keep CS tasks and notes aligned between Vitally and ticketing or project tools.
  • 03 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.

Common sync patterns

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Vitally 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 Vitally, 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 Vitally API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Vitally

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 Vitally objects How this pairing syncs
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. NPS Response NPS survey responses for account-health reporting. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and NPS Response to Vitally — 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. Custom Trait Custom account and user traits for segmentation. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Custom Trait to Vitally — 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. Account Core customer account records with health scores and lifecycle traits; created, updated, retrieved, and listed via the REST API. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and Account to Vitally — 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. User End users tied to accounts, including activity and custom traits. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and User to Vitally — 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. Organization Parent organizations for hierarchical B2B account structures. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Organization to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Task CS tasks and follow-ups, readable and writable for workflow sync. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and Task to Vitally — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Vitally

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

Vitally IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionVitally notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental polling on updatedAt cursors.

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.
  • Vitally: Default rate limit of 1,000 requests/min (token bucket); write operations consume more budget, headers expose remaining quota.
