Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Paylocity

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: IBM Db2 and Paylocity share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Paylocity is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. IBM Db2 is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes in Paylocity need to exist as queryable Stored Procedures, Sequences, Tablespaces, Databases in IBM Db2 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 Stored Procedures, Sequences, Tablespaces, Databases in IBM Db2 with Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes in Paylocity field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Paylocity 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 Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.
  • 02 Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • 03 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.
  • 04 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Paylocity land as queryable Stored Procedures, Sequences, Tablespaces, Databases in IBM Db2, 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.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes replicate into IBM Db2 where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Paylocity

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 Db2 objects Paylocity objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Employees Core HR record keyed by companyId + employeeId; two-way via Create New Employee (POST) and Update Employee (PATCH), plus Get Employee / Get All Employees for reads. Tables is specific to IBM Db2 and Employees to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Onboarding Create Employee Onboarding pushes new-hire data into Paylocity's onboarding workflow; Get Onboarding Status reads back partner onboarding progress. Write-in for hires from an ATS. Views is specific to IBM Db2 and Onboarding to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Deductions (Pay Setup) Recurring deduction codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Deduction and Delete, with Get Deduction / Get All Deductions for reads. Indexes is specific to IBM Db2 and Deductions (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Earnings (Pay Setup) Recurring earning codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Earning and Delete, with Get All Earnings and Get by earning code for reads. Stored Procedures is specific to IBM Db2 and Earnings (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. Sequences is specific to IBM Db2 and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. Tablespaces is specific to IBM Db2 and Direct Deposit to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 and Paylocity

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 Db2 Paylocity Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Paylocity IBM Db2 Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).

How the IBM Db2 and Paylocity connectors work

IBM Db2

Integration surface
SQL via JDBC/ODBC/CLI drivers; optional REST endpoints in some editions
Authentication
Database credentials, typically backed by OS or LDAP authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed; otherwise polling on timestamp or audit columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
