Why teams connect IBM Informix and Macola ERP

Give your engineers Macola ERP's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Bills of Material, Work Orders, Customers, Vendors from Macola ERP into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Macola ERP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into Macola ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • 02 Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • 03 Replicate GL and AR data into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting.
  • 04 Push web or EDI orders into Macola order entry instead of rekeying them.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM Informix back into Macola ERP, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Macola ERP live in IBM Informix as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Macola ERP interface, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Macola ERP

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 Informix objects Macola ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Items Inventory item master records mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Views is specific to IBM Informix and Items to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Sales Orders Order entry documents created from web or CRM orders and read back for status. TimeSeries objects is specific to IBM Informix and Sales Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Purchase Orders Procurement documents reconciled against receiving and vendor systems. Stored procedures is specific to IBM Informix and Purchase Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Invoices AR documents synced to billing, CRM, and reporting destinations. Logical logs is specific to IBM Informix and Invoices to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. GL Accounts & Journal Entries Financial ledger data replicated to warehouses for reporting. Databases is specific to IBM Informix and GL Accounts & Journal Entries to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Bills of Material Manufacturing structures read for planning and costing integrations. Tables is specific to IBM Informix and Bills of Material to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Informix and Macola ERP

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 Informix Macola ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.

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

Macola ERP IBM Informix Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Macola ERP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC or change tracking on the underlying SQL Server database, or timestamp-based polling.

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