Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready 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: Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off in Ukg Ready need to exist as queryable Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views 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 Databases, Schemas, Tables, Views in IBM Db2 with Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Ukg Ready 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 Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • 02 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.
  • 03 Import computed Earnings and deductions into UKG Ready payroll runs from a warehouse or external time-tracking system ahead of each pay period.
  • 04 Create new-hire Employee records in UKG Ready from an ATS or onboarding workflow, including position, cost center, and compensation fields.

Common sync patterns

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

Employment / Positions, Compensation, Timesheet Entries, Accruals / Time Off replicate into IBM Db2 where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Ukg Ready stay consistent in IBM Db2, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Ukg Ready

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 Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Databases is specific to IBM Db2 and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Schemas is specific to IBM Db2 and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Tables is specific to IBM Db2 and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — 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. Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) Earnings and deductions can be imported into pay runs; Employee Payroll Runs (gross, net, taxes) read back for GL posting and analytics. Views is specific to IBM Db2 and Payroll (Earnings / Deductions / Employee Payroll Runs) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Benefits Plan enrollments, coverage tiers, contributions, and effective dates; typically read into benefits or finance systems. Indexes is specific to IBM Db2 and Benefits to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Cost Centers / Groups Departments, locations, and hierarchy used as org structure; read to align headcount and budget models across systems. Stored Procedures is specific to IBM Db2 and Cost Centers / Groups to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 and Ukg Ready

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

Ukg Ready IBM Db2 Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

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.
  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
