Why teams connect IBM Informix and Dynamics 365 Business Central

Give your engineers Dynamics 365 Business Central'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 Vendors, Items, Sales Orders, Sales Invoices from Dynamics 365 Business Central into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Dynamics 365 Business Central 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 Dynamics 365 Business Central with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Replicate GL entries and dimensions into a SQL database for financial reporting without giving analysts ERP logins.
  • Sync vendor and purchase order data with procurement or AP automation tools.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Dynamics 365 Business Central 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 Dynamics 365 Business Central interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Dynamics 365 Business Central arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Dynamics 365 Business Central

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 Dynamics 365 Business Central objects
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Dimensions Analytical tags (department, project) that syncs preserve for reporting integrity.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Payments Customer and vendor payment records reconciled against invoices.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Customers Core master data synced with CRMs so sales and finance share one customer list.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Vendors Supplier master data synced with procurement and AP automation tools.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Items Product and inventory records aligned with e-commerce and warehouse systems.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Sales Orders Order headers and lines created from external channels and read back for fulfillment status.
